More quotes by Jerry Bridges

Jerry Bridges
The pursuit of holiness must be anchored in the grace of God otherwise it is doomed to failure
Jerry Bridges
Only those who walk in holiness experience true joy.
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
Every day is important for us because it is a day ordained by God.
Jerry Bridges
God's guidance is almost always step-by-step He does not show us our life's plan all at once. Sometimes our anxiousness to know the will of God comes from a desire to peer over God's shoulder to see what His plan is. What we need to do is learn to trust Him to guide us.
Jerry Bridges
God will never allow any action against you that is not in accord with His will for you. And His will is always directed to our good.
Jerry Bridges

Jerry Bridges
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.
Jerry Bridges
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
Faith enables us to obey when obedience is costly or seems unreasonable to the natural mind.
Jerry Bridges
Biblical community is first of all the sharing of a common life in Christ.
Jerry Bridges
No circumstance is so big that He cannot control it.
Jerry Bridges
We fail to see the gospel as the solution to our greatest problem-our guilt, condemnation, and alienation from God. Beyond that, we fail to see it as the basis of our day-to-day acceptance with Him. As a result, many believers live in spiritual poverty.
Jerry Bridges
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.
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
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
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
We must allow the Bible to say what is says, not what we think it ought to say.
Jerry Bridges
We could not take one step in the pursuit of holiness if God in His grace had not first delivered us from the dominion of sin and brought us into union with His risen Son. Salvation is by grace and sanctification is by grace.
