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.

No circumstance is so big that He cannot control it.
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

Our very worst days are never beyond the reach of God's grace.
Jerry Bridges
Image
The pursuit of holiness must be anchored in the grace of God otherwise it is doomed to failure
Jerry Bridges
