More quotes by 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
Don't believe everything you think. You cannot be trusted to tell yourself the truth. Stay in The Word.
Jerry Bridges
No detail of your life is too insignificant for your heavenly Father's attention.
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
Godly character flows out of devotion to God and practically confirms the reality of that devotion.
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
The assurance of His total forgiveness of our sins through the blood of Christ means we don't have to play defensive games anymore. We don't have to rationalize and excuse our sins. We can call sin exactly what it is, regardless of how ugly and shameful it may be, because we know that Jesus bore that sin in His body on the cross.
Jerry Bridges
Giving thanks to God for both His temporal and spiritual blessings in our lives is not just a nice thing to do - it is the moral will of God. Failure to give Him the thanks due Him is sin.
Jerry Bridges
Only those who walk in holiness experience true joy.
Jerry Bridges
No circumstance is so big that He cannot control it.
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
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.
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
We don't have to start all over again and try to keep the slate clean. There is no more slate.
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
Jesus did not die just to give us peace and a purpose in life he died to save us from the wrath of God.
Jerry Bridges
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.
Jerry Bridges
Practice of true community involves responsibilities and actions that do not come naturally to us.
Jerry Bridges
This is the essence of God's sovereignty His absolute independence to do as He pleases and His absolute control over the actions of all His creatures. No creature, person, or empire can either thwart His will or act outside the bounds of His will.
Jerry Bridges
That which should distinguish the suffering of believers from unbelievers is the confidence that our suffering is under the control of an all-powerful and all-loving God. Our suffering has meaning and purpose in God's eternal plan, and He brings or allows to come into our lives only that which is for His glory and our good.
