Some unifying principles bind all Christians: that God became a man and died for our sins, and that without that sacrifice, all of us would be doomed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Christian life means sacrifice.
I thought that all of the sacrifices and blessings of the whole history of mankind have devolved upon me. Thank you, God.
Jesus made the final sacrifice for all, and we need not make it again.
When Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you'd been the only man in the world.
We should be recklessly abandoned to Jesus, and just turn it over to Him. Through the support I think the sacrifices will be made and we'll all be cool with it.
There's only one effectively redemptive sacrifice, the sacrifice of self-will to make room for the knowledge of God.
If you were not a sinful, polluted, helpless, and miserable creature, this Savior would not be suited to you, and you would not be comprehended in his gracious invitations to the children of men.
Sacrifice is truly the crowning test of the gospel. Men are tried and tested in this mortal probation to see if they will put first in their lives the kingdom of God.
If nothing else, there's comfort in recognising that no matter how much we fail and sin, death will limit our suffering.
Christianity affirms that Jesus severed the link between suffering and deserving once for all on Calvary. God put the ledgers away and settled the accounts.
