"...if you're a Christian, God wants you to experience -- deep inside -- the reality that you are no longer a slave to sin but are now his adopted child. He wants you to know that he loves you!
"He wants you to know that he has saved you from the penalty of sin, that he is now saving you from the power of sin, and that one day he will save you from the presence of sin altogether.
"He doesn't just want you to be forgiven; he also wants you to feel forgiven. He wants you to enjoy the still waters and green pastures that friendship with God offers. He wants you to go through life confidently knowing that you are his forever and that there is no need to fear ultimate judgment."
-- Tullian Tchividjian, "Do I Know God?" pp. 28-29 (Multnomah 2007)
