Redemption Accomplished and Applied by John Murray

As a bonus, here are 2 quotes from page 10. :)

The love of God from which the atonement springs is not a distinction-less love; it is a love that elects and predestinates. God was pleased to set His invincible and everlasting love upon a countless multitude and it is the determinate purpose of this love that the atonement secures. - Murray, 10

Love is not something adventitious; it is not something that God may choose to be or choose not to be. He is love, and that necessarily, inherently, and eternally... [I]t belongs to the very essence of electing love to recognize that it is not inherently necessary to that love which God necessarily and eternally is that He should set such love as issues in redemption and adoption upon utterly undesirable and hell-deserving objects. It was of the free and sovereign good pleasure of His will, a good pleasure that emanated from the depths of His own goodness, that He chose a people to be heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ.... The atonement does not win or constrain the love of God. The love of God constrains to the atonement as the means of accomplishing love's determinate purpose. -Murray, 10

A Study in Galatians by Ryken

What we believe and how we behave cannot be separated. There is an unbreakable bond between theological integrity and spiritual vitality. (George, 1994) ... Christianity is not simply something we know; it is something we do. It is not merely a belief system or a moral code; it is a theology that comes to life. - Ryken, p. 207

Living in the Grip of Relentless Grace

"How can you look longingly upon Satan's offerings when the cross of Christ is in front of your eyes? Christ's love constrains our hearts to seek holiness... Only a deep grasp of the gospel has the power to bring about a deep change in your heart. It is knowing the terrible price that has already been paid for your sin that enables you to say no to sin." Iain Duguid

"This is the lesson I try to communicate to my students. Our mountaintop experiences of God and His grace are wonderful, and cause for gratitude and rejoicing. But God never leaves us on the mountaintop. Once we have been nourished and learned to obey in the sunlight of God's felt presence, surrounded by His hedge of protection, He then sends us outside the camp, into the wilderness, where the heat of temptation saps our strength and spiritual refreshment is hard to come by... This is God's way, the way of the cross, and the proper response is to rejoice in the sufferings so that we may rejoice in the glory when it is revealed. We must learn the biblical lesson that God often sends lions to chase us so that we, like Bree, can discover that we weren't going quite as fast as we could. Like Shasta, we must learn to fall off the horse and "get up again without crying and mount and fall again and yet not be afraid of falling" (Ch 1.)."

On Trumpkin the Dwarf

"Trumpkin shows us that coming to faith is not always like getting knocked off your horse by a blinding light. Sometimes it's a slow process filled with unexpected twists and turns. Sometimes those who protest the loudest are nearest to the kingdom. Sometimes the heart prepares the way for the mind to follow."

On Edmund, in the Chronicles of Narnia

"Edmund thus stands as a warning, a cautionary tale to everyone who reads the book. We are always becoming who we will be. We are, all of us, en-storied creatures, living our lives in a narrative, which means our lives have directions, trends, and trajectories. And these trajectories are guided by an Author who teaches us that we will reap what we sow. Right this minute, we are headed somewhere, and sooner or later, we are bound to end up there... Given the present trajectory of my life, what would happen if I should find myself stumbling through the wardrobe into Narnia? Will Providence guide me to meet a faun who becomes a friend, or a Witch who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (or freeze, enchant, and murder)? Given the kind of person that I am right now becoming, what would be my reaction if I heard Aslan's  name for the first time?"

On Narnia and C.S. Lewis's use of "magic"

"This is the true picture of magic in Narnia, and its magic is mirrored in our own world. Conflicts of power and enchantments are real, and they matter. But beneath the power encounters and magical warfare is Deep Magic and Deeper, the inflexible solidity of the Moral Law and the breathtaking beauty of Sacrificial Love. Lewis reminds us that substitution is a kind of magic, a mysterious and supernatural force that transforms the world, overcoming every form of treachery. In Narnia, as in our world, Deeper Magic triumphs over Deep Magic. Through sacrifice, Mercy triumphs over Judgment." - Live Like a Narnian: Christian Discipleship in Lewis's Chronicles by Joe Rigney
