As we search the Scriptures, we must allow them to search us, to sit in judgment upon our character and conduct.
Jerry Bridges
Image
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
Image
God never allows pain without a purpose.
Jerry Bridges
Image
God is never at a loss because He cannot find someone to cooperate with Him in carrying out His plan. He so moves in the hearts of people - either Christians or non Christians, it makes no difference - that they willingly, of their own free will carry out His plans.
Jerry Bridges
Image
Biblical community is first of all the sharing of a common life in Christ.
Jerry Bridges
Image
Faith in Christ and a reliance on ourselves, even to the smallest degree, are mutually exclusive.
Jerry Bridges
Image
Every day is important for us because it is a day ordained by God.
Jerry Bridges
Image
The opposite of retaliation is to entrust ourselves to God, who judges justly.
Jerry Bridges
Image
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
Image
God makes provision for our holiness, but He gives us the responsibility of using those provisions.
Jerry Bridges
Image
Jesus did not die just to give us peace and a purpose in life he died to save us from the wrath of God.
Jerry Bridges
Image
The assurance of His total forgiveness of our sins through the blood of Christ means we don't have to play defensive games anymore. We don't have to rationalize and excuse our sins. We can call sin exactly what it is, regardless of how ugly and shameful it may be, because we know that Jesus bore that sin in His body on the cross.
Jerry Bridges
Image
The grace that brought salvation to you is the same grace that teaches or disciplines you. But you must respond on the basis of grace, not law.
Jerry Bridges
Image
We need to call sin what the Bible calls it and not soften it with modern expressions borrowed from our culture.
Jerry Bridges
Image
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
Image
Worship from the heart in times of adversity implies an attitude of humble acceptance on our part of God's right to do as He pleases in our lives.
Jerry Bridges
Image
Justified is even better than just as if I'd never sinned. It is also just as if I'd always obeyed.
Jerry Bridges
Image
God's sovereignty does not negate our responsibility to pray, but rather makes it possible for us to pray with confidence.
Jerry Bridges
Image
A willingness to share our possessions with one another is a very important aspect of true biblical community.
Jerry Bridges
Image
We ought to be as earnest and frequent in our prayers of thanksgiving when the cupboard is full as we would be in our prayers of supplication if the cupboards were bare.
