Our worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace.

More quotes by Jerry Bridges
So often we try to develop Christian character and conduct without taking the time to develop God-centered devotion. We try to please God without taking the time to walk with Him and develop a relationship with Him. This is impossible to do.
Jerry Bridges
That which should distinguish the suffering of believers from unbelievers is the confidence that our suffering is under the control of an all-powerful and all-loving God. Our suffering has meaning and purpose in God's eternal plan, and He brings or allows to come into our lives only that which is for His glory and our good.
Jerry Bridges
God's grace is not given to make us feel better, but to glorify Him... Good feelings may come, or they may not, but that is not the issue. The issue is whether or not we honor God by the way we respond to our circumstances.
Jerry Bridges
God makes provision for our holiness, but He gives us the responsibility of using those provisions.
Jerry Bridges
A son or daughter in any human family is either born to or adopted by the parents. By definition, a child can't be both. But with God we're both born of Him and adopted by Him.
Jerry Bridges
We need to call sin what the Bible calls it and not soften it with modern expressions borrowed from our culture.
Jerry Bridges
As we become soft and lazy in our bodies, we tend to become soft and lazy spiritually.
Jerry Bridges
Our first problem is that our attitude towards sin is more self-centred than God-centred. We are more concerned about our own Victory over sin than we are about the fact that our sin grieve the heart of God. We cannot tolerate failure in our struggle with sin chiefly because we are success oriented, not because we know it is offensive to God.
Jerry Bridges
Sometimes the end God has in mind is to exercise our faith, so He brings us into straitened circumstances so that we might look up to Him and see His deliverance.
Jerry Bridges
We must not allow our emotions to hold sway over our minds. Rather, we must seek to let the truth of God rule our minds. Our emotions must become subservient to the truth.
Jerry Bridges
God's Word must be so strongly fixed in our minds that it becomes the dominant influence in our thoughts, our attitudes, and our actions. One of the most effective ways of influencing our minds is through memorizing Scripture. David said, I have hidden Your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You (Psm. 119:11).

Evil Rulers Are Never Beyond The Bounds of God's Sovereign Will
Jerry Bridges
Biblical community is first of all the sharing of a common life in Christ.
Jerry Bridges
Preach the gospel to yourself every day.
Jerry Bridges
Bitterness arises in our hearts when we do not trust in the sovereign rule of God in our lives
Jerry Bridges
We're more concerned about our own victory over sin than we are about the fact that our sins grieve God's heart.
Jerry Bridges
This is the essence of God's sovereignty His absolute independence to do as He pleases and His absolute control over the actions of all His creatures. No creature, person, or empire can either thwart His will or act outside the bounds of His will.
Jerry Bridges
Love provides the motive for obeying the commands of the law, but the law provides specific direction for exercising love.
Jerry Bridges
Perhaps we should stop talking about being faithful to have a quiet time with God each day, as if we were doing something to earn a reward. It would be better to talk about the privilege of spending time with the God of the universe and the importance for our own sake of being consistent in that practice.
Jerry Bridges
If there is not at least a yearning in our hearts to live a holy life pleasing to God, we need to seriously question whether our faith in Christ is genuine.
Jerry Bridges
