Our duty is found in the revealed will of God in the Scriptures. Our trust must be in the sovereign will of God as He works in the ordinary circumstances of our daily lives for our good and His glory.

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
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
Image
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
Image
God in His love always wills what is best for us. In His wisdom He always knows what is best, and in His sovereignty He has the power to bring it about.
Jerry Bridges
Image
We might say God's wrath is His justice in action, rendering to everyone his just due, which, because of our sin is always judgment.

The solution to staying on the right side of the fine line between using and abusing grace is repentance. The road to repentance is godly sorrow (2 Corinthians 7:10). Godly sorrow is developed when we focus on the true nature of sin as an offense against God rather than something that makes us feel guilty.

Even our tears of repentance need to be washed in the blood of the Lamb.

Don't believe everything you think. You cannot be trusted to tell yourself the truth. Stay in The Word.

Image
Our very worst days are never beyond the reach of God's grace.

Image
Contentment is one of the most distinguishing traits of the godly person, because a godly person has his heart focused on God rather than on possessions or position or power.
Jerry Bridges
Image
If we want proof of God's love for us, then we must look first at the Cross where God offered up His Son as a sacrifice for our sins. Calvary is the one objective, absolute, irrefutable proof of God's love for us.
Jerry Bridges
Image
To live by grace is to live solely by the merit of Jesus Christ. To live by grace is to base my entire relationship with God, including my acceptance and standing with Him, on my union with Christ.
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

Preach the gospel to yourself every day.

God's sovereignty does not negate our responsibility to pray, but rather makes it possible for us to pray with confidence.

Image
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).

Sanctification is the work of the Holy Spirit in us whereby our inner being is progressively changed, freeing us more and more from sinful traits and developing within us over time the virtues of Christlike character.
Jerry Bridges
Image
As we grow in holiness, we grow in hatred of sin and God, being infinitely holy, has an infinite hatred of sin.
Jerry Bridges
Image
The heroes of faith in Hebrews 11 ... obeyed by faith ... obedience is the pathway to holiness ... no one will become holy apart from a life of faith. Faith enables us to claim the promises of God, but it also enables us to obey the commands of God.

Godly character flows out of devotion to God and practically confirms the reality of that devotion.
