We Obey God's Law, Not To Be

The Pursuit Of Holiness Is A Joint Venture Between God And The Christian. No One Can Attain Any Degree Of Holiness Without God Working In His Life, But Just As Surely No One Will Attain It Without Effort On His Own Part.

To Live By Grace Is To Live Solely By The Merit Of Jesus Christ. To Live By Grace Is To Base My Entire Relationship With God, Including My Acceptance And Standing With Him, On My Union With Christ.

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.

God Never Wastes Pain. He Always Uses It To Accomplish His Purpose. And His Purpose Is For His Glory And Our Good. Therefore We Can Trust Him When Our Hearts Are Aching Or Our Bodies Are Racked With Pain

Every Day God Patiently Bears With Us, And Every Day We Are Tempted To Become Impatient With Our Friends, Neighbors, And Loved Ones. And Our Faults And Failures Before God Are So Much More Serious Than The Petty Actions Of Others That Tend To Irritate Us! God Calls Us To Graciously Bear With The Weaknesses Of Others, Tolerating Them And Forgiving Them Even As He Has Forgiven Us.
