Obedience is the pathway to holiness.

Image
God makes provision for our holiness, but He gives us the responsibility of using those provisions.

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).

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.

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.

Don't believe everything you think. You cannot be trusted to tell yourself the truth. Stay in The Word.

Because peace is a fruit of the Spirit, we are dependent upon the Spirit's work in our lives to produce the desire and the means to pursue peace. But we are also responsible to use the means He has given us and to take all practical steps to attain both peace within and peace with others.

As we grow in the knowledge of God's holiness, even though we are growing in the practice of holiness, it seems the gap between our knowledge and our practice always gets wider. This is the Holy Spirit's way of drawing us to more and more holiness.

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
Image
We need to call sin what the Bible calls it and not soften it with modern expressions borrowed from our culture.
Jerry Bridges
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Grace... expresses two complementary thoughts: God's unmerited favor to us through Christ, and God's divine assistance to us through the Holy Spirit.

Image
As we become soft and lazy in our bodies, we tend to become soft and lazy spiritually.
Jerry Bridges
Image
Not only has the debt (of our sins) been fully paid, there is no possibility of ever going into debt again.
Jerry Bridges
Image
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
Image
We don't have to start all over again and try to keep the slate clean. There is no more slate.
Jerry Bridges
Image
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
Image
Faith enables us to obey when obedience is costly or seems unreasonable to the natural mind.

Godly character flows out of devotion to God and practically confirms the reality of that devotion.
