More quotes by 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
Worship is the specific act of ascribing to God the glory, majesty, honor, and worthiness which are His.
Jerry Bridges
No detail of your life is too insignificant for your heavenly Father's attention.
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
Bitterness arises in our hearts when we do not trust in the sovereign rule of God in our lives
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
Thankfulness to God is a recognition that God in His goodness and faithfulness has provided for us and cared for us, both physically and spiritually. It is a recognition that we are totally dependent upon Him that all that we are and have comes from God.
Jerry Bridges
Sanctification is the work of the Holy Spirit in us whereby our inner being is progressively changed, freeing us more and more from sinful traits and developing within us over time the virtues of Christlike character.
Jerry Bridges
God does not delight in our sufferings. He brings only that which is necessary, but He does not shrink from that which will help us grow.
Jerry Bridges
... self-control is not control by oneself through one's own willpower but rather control of oneself through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Jerry Bridges
God never allows pain without a purpose.
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
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
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
Biblical community is first of all the sharing of a common life in Christ.
Jerry Bridges
The purpose of God's discipline is not to punish us but to transform us.
Jerry Bridges
Grace... expresses two complementary thoughts: God's unmerited favor to us through Christ, and God's divine assistance to us through the Holy Spirit.
Jerry Bridges
Don't believe everything you think. You cannot be trusted to tell yourself the truth. Stay in The Word.
Jerry Bridges
Love provides the motive for obeying the commands of the law, but the law provides specific direction for exercising love.
Jerry Bridges
When we commit ourselves to the pursuit of holiness, we need to ensure that our commitment is actually to God, not simply to a holy lifestyle or a set of moral values ... offer yourselves to God, and in doing that commit yourselves to the pursuit of holiness in order to please Him.
