More quotes by 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
Obedience is the pathway to holiness.
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
When we commit ourselves to the pursuit of holiness, we need to ensure that our commitment is actually to God, not simply to a holy lifestyle or a set of moral values ... offer yourselves to God, and in doing that commit yourselves to the pursuit of holiness in order to please Him.
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
Evil Rulers Are Never Beyond The Bounds of God's Sovereign Will
Jerry Bridges
Patience is the ability to suffer a long time under the mistreatment of others without growing resentful or bitter.
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
To derive the fullest comfort and encouragement from Romans 8:28 we must realize that God is at work in a proactive, not reactive, fashion. That is, God does not just respond to an adversity in our lives to make the best of a bad situation. He knows before He initiates or permits the adversity exactly how He will use it for 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
Lord, I am willing To receive what You give. To lack what You withhold. To relinquish what You take, To suffer what You inflict, To be what you require.
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
As we grow in holiness, we grow in hatred of sin and God, being infinitely holy, has an infinite hatred of sin.
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
The purpose of God's discipline is not to punish us but to transform us.
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
The cure for the sin of envy and jealousy is to find our contentment in God
Jerry Bridges
No detail of your life is too insignificant for your heavenly Father's attention.
Jerry Bridges
In His infinite wisdom, God allows trials in order to develop perseverance in us and to cause us to fix our hopes on the glory that is yet to be revealed... Our faith and perseverance can grow only under the pain of trial.
Jerry Bridges
We don't have to start all over again and try to keep the slate clean. There is no more slate.
Jerry Bridges
