Starting Clean Slate Quotes & Sayings

Redemption doesn't mean scrapping what's there and starting again from a clean slate but rather liberating what has come to be enslaved. And because of the analysis of evil not as materiality but as rebellion, the slavery of humans and of the world does not consist in embodiment, redemption from which would mean the death of the body and the consequent release of the soul or spirit. The slavery consists, rather, in sin, redemption from which must ultimately involve not just goodness of soul or spirit but a newly embodied life. This — N. T. Wright

Tomorrow when I awaken, the slate will be clean, and a new day will stretch before me. God's mercies are new every morning. — Lori Hatcher
