More quotes by Jerry Bridges
Obedience is the pathway to holiness.
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
Justified is even better than just as if I'd never sinned. It is also just as if I'd always obeyed.
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
As we grow in holiness, we grow in hatred of sin and God, being infinitely holy, has an infinite hatred of sin.
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
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 plan and His ways of working out His plan are frequently beyond our ability to fathom and understand. We must learn to trust when we don’t understand.
Jerry Bridges
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
Instead of living in the sunshine of God's forgiveness through Christ, we tend to live under an overcast sky of guilt most of the time.
Jerry Bridges
The purpose of God's discipline is not to punish us but to transform us.
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
The cure for the sin of envy and jealousy is to find our contentment in God
Jerry Bridges
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).
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
No detail of your life is too insignificant for your heavenly Father's attention.
Jerry Bridges
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
God's unfailing love for us is an objective fact affirmed over and over in the Scriptures. It is true whether we believe it or not. Our doubts do not destroy God's love, nor does our faith create it. It originates in the very nature of God, who is love, and it flows to us through our union with His beloved Son.
Jerry Bridges
Our sins are forgiven and we are accepted as righteous by God because of both the sinless life and sin-bearing death of our Lord Jesus Christ. There is no greater motivation for dealing with sin in our lives than the realization of these two glorious truths of the gospel.
Jerry Bridges
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
