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.

More quotes by Jerry Bridges
Faith in Christ and a reliance on ourselves, even to the smallest degree, are mutually exclusive.
Jerry Bridges
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.
Jerry Bridges
We take what we think are the tools of spiritual transformation into our own hands and try to sculpt ourselves into robust Christlike specimens. But spiritual transformation is primarily the work of the Holy Spirit. He is the Master Sculptor
Jerry Bridges
The opposite of retaliation is to entrust ourselves to God, who judges justly.
Jerry Bridges
Love is costly. T forgive in love costs us our sense of justice. To serve in love costs us time. To share in love costs us money. Every act of love costs us in some way, just as it cost God to love us. But we are to live a life of love just as Christ loves us and gave Himself for us at great cost to Himself.
Jerry Bridges
Love provides the motive for obeying the commands of the law, but the law provides specific direction for exercising love.
Jerry Bridges
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.
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
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 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
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
Godly character flows out of devotion to God and practically confirms the reality of that devotion.
Jerry Bridges
The pursuit of holiness must be anchored in the grace of God otherwise it is doomed to failure
Jerry Bridges
Practice of true community involves responsibilities and actions that do not come naturally to us.
Jerry Bridges
Don't believe everything you think. You cannot be trusted to tell yourself the truth. Stay in The Word.
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
No circumstance is so big that He cannot control it.
Jerry Bridges
If we want proof of God's love for us, then we must look first at the Cross where God offered up His Son as a sacrifice for our sins. Calvary is the one objective, absolute, irrefutable proof of God's love for us.
Jerry Bridges
Our very worst days are never beyond the reach of God's grace.
Jerry Bridges
