More from “GENTLE and LOWLY” by Dane Ortlund

The Weekly Update – May 11th, 2026

« The only thing required to enjoy such love from Christ is to come to him. To ask him to take us in. He does not say, “ Whoever comes to me with sufficient contrition,” or “Whoever comes to me feeling bad enough for their sin, “ or “ Whoever comes to me with redoubled efforts.” He says, “Whoever comes to me I will never cast out.”

“ The atoning work of the Son, decreed by the Father and applied by the Spirit, ensures that we are safe eternally.”

“ The sins of those who belong to God open the floodgates of his heart of compassion for us. The dam breaks. It is not our loveliness that wins his love. It is our unloveliness.”

“Our hearts gasp to catch this. It is not how the world around us works. It is not how our own hearts work. But we bow in humble submission, letting God set the terms by which he will love us.”

Extracts from “Gentle and Lowly”, a book that will shake the way you see the Grace and the Love of God.
