Judah Smith Quotes about Jesus

Our righteousness doesn't depend on our present performance but on Jesus' finished performance.

Jesus sees our sin more clearly than anyone, yet He loves us more than anyone.

I think if Jesus had one shot at fixing us, He’d tell us how much He loves us. Jesus loves us right now, just as we are. He isn’t standing aloof, yelling at us to climb out of our pits and clean ourselves up so we can be worthy of Him. He is wading waist-deep into the muck of life, weeping with the broken, rescuing the lost, and healing the sick.

Jesus is not your accuser. He’s not your prosecutor. He’s not your judge. He’s your friend and your rescuer. Like Zacchaeus, just spend time with Jesus. Don’t hide from him in shame or reject him in self-righteousness. Don’t allow the opinions of other people to shape your concept of him. Get to know him for yourself, and let the goodness of God change you from the inside out.

Jesus didn’t care about the scandal. He cared about the scandalous.

Grace is a person. And his name is Jesus.

Don't cheapen Jesus's sacrifice by trying to pay him back

Christianity is not about not swearing. It’s not about not having impure thoughts. Really, it’s not about not at all. Christianity is about Jesus.

If we could get people to think about Jesus, we reasoned, Jesus was more than able to reveal himself to them.

Make rules and follow rules as needed, but don't focus on riles. Focus on faith. Focus on grace. Focus on Jesus.
