What specifically is wrong with the quote? If we believe the gospel, we believe that Christ died for our sins and rose from the dead, then do the promises of the Bible belong to us?

This quote went into my blog because I need reminding that God loves me. I need to remember that God is not waiting for one more mistake, to just kick me out of the kingdom. I need to hear those promises. I need to hear the gospel because day in and day out I am a sinner who gets discouraged and fail and sometimes I just want to give up Christianity and most of time give up life.

Matt here is a review of the book so you can go see what someone else says
