20 Truth "Bullets" Created and Designed For Gospel Accuracy

Here are some quotes by Tullian Tchividjian that were in an article entitled "I'm Addicted" and can be found here.
 http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/tullian/2011/03/03/im-addicted/ These bullets points are actually from a series of tweets by Tullian. Oh, how sweet the gospel is!!! The gospel of grace, that is.


  • Because Jesus was strong for me, I am free to be weak;
  • Because Jesus won for me, I am free to lose;
  • Because Jesus was Someone, I am free to be no one;
  • Because Jesus was extraordinary, I am free to be ordinary;
  • Because Jesus succeeded for me, I am free to fail.

  • The banner under which Christians live reads “It is finished.”
  • Our security is in Christ’s achievement for us, so now we’re free to admit our weaknesses without feeling like our flesh is bring ripped off our bones
  • Only when you realize that the gospel has nothing to do with your obedience but Christ’s obedience for you, will you start to obey!
  • At no point in time, either before God saves you or after, does your behavior determine God’s love for you.
  • Since a Christian’s value and identity is anchored in Christ and is not anchored in being right, the gospel frees us to admit we’re wrong.
  • The gospel frees us from trying to impress people, prove ourselves to people, and make people think we’re something that we’re not.
  • The gospel transforms us precisely because it’s not itself a message about our transformation but Christ’s substitution.
  • The gospel frees us to realize that while we matter, we’re not the point
  • “Doing” will become instinctive and spontaneous only when our hearts become deeply gripped by what’s been done!
  • Only the gospel can liberate us from the miserable, unquenchable pursuit to make something of ourselves by using others.
  • Because everything we long for we already possess in Christ, we’re now free to love people, not use them.
  • Our improvement comes from God’s approval; God’s approval does not come from our improvement.
  • Christ fulfilled all of God’s conditions on our behalf so that our relationship with God could be unconditional.
  • The gospel frees you from the pressure of having to make something out of yourself.
  • Christian, the level of passion with which God loves you is not determined by the level of passion with which you love him. The Son’s passion for you secured the Father’s passion for you.
