Mark Batterson Christian Quotations

The gospel costs nothing. We cannot buy it or earn it. It can only be received as a free gift, compliments of God’s grace. So it costs nothing, but it demands everything. And that is where most of us get stuck — spiritual no-man’s-land. We’re too Christian to enjoy sin and too sinful to enjoy Christ. We’ve got just enough Jesus to be informed, but not enough to be transformed.

One way to show someone you love them is to simply go out of your way for them. It's the gift of inconvenience.

God blesses us more so that we can be more of a blessing to others.

In my experience, it’s much easier to act like a Christian than it is to react like one. Anyone can put on an act. But your reactions reveal what is really in your heart.

You'll never be a perfect parent, but you can be a praying parent.

Most Christians are educated way beyond the level of their obedience already! We don’t need to know more, we need to do more.

I want to be famous in my home.

The gospel costs nothing but it demands everything.

We’re too Christian to enjoy sin and too sinful to enjoy Christ. We’ve got just enough Jesus to be informed, but not enough to be transformed.

Whatever God wants to do through you, He will do in you first. You've got to be what you want to see.

We've lost the wow of God because we've lost the woe of God. His perfect holiness helps us truly appreciate His amazing grace.

It’s much easier to act like a Christian than it is to react like one!
