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.

More quotes by Jerry Bridges
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.
Jerry Bridges
Not only has the debt (of our sins) been fully paid, there is no possibility of ever going into debt again.
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
Godly character flows out of devotion to God and practically confirms the reality of that devotion.
Jerry Bridges
Obedience is the pathway to holiness.
Jerry Bridges
The person who is living by grace sees this vast contrast between his own sins against God and the offenses of others against him. He forgives others because he himself has been so graciously forgiven. He realizes that, by receiving God’s forgiveness through Christ, he has forfeited the right to be offended when others hurt 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
May we be as severe with ourselves over our own subtle sins as we are with the vile sins we condemn in others
Jerry Bridges
God's sovereignty does not negate our responsibility to pray, but rather makes it possible for us to pray with confidence.
Jerry Bridges
Nothing cuts the nerve of the desire to pursue holiness as much as a sense of guilt. On the contrary, nothing so motivates us to deal with sin in our lives as does the understanding and application of the two truth that our sins are forgiven and the dominion of sin is broken because of our union with Christ.
Jerry Bridges
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
... self-control is not control by oneself through one's own willpower but rather control of oneself through the power of the Holy Spirit.
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
Our very worst days are never beyond the reach of God's grace.
Jerry Bridges
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
Love provides the motive for obeying the commands of the law, but the law provides specific direction for exercising love.
Jerry Bridges
Bitterness arises in our hearts when we do not trust in the sovereign rule of God in our lives
Jerry Bridges
To be justified means more than to be declared not guilty. It actually means to be declared righteous before God. It means God has imputed or charged the guilt of our sin to His Son, Jesus Christ, and has imputed or credited Christ's righteousness to us.
Jerry Bridges
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
Legalism insists on conformity to manmade religious rules and requirements, which are often unspoken but are nevertheless very real... There are far too many instances within Christendom where our traditions and rules are, in practice, more important than God's commands.
