Faith In Christ And A

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.

Duty Or Guilt May Motivate Us For Awhile, But Only A Sense Of Christ's Love For Us Will Motivate Us For A Lifetime.

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.

A Willingness To Share Our Possessions With One Another Is A Very Important Aspect Of True Biblical Community.

In His Infinite Wisdom, God Allows Trials In Order To Develop Perseverance In Us And To Cause Us To Fix Our Hopes On The Glory That Is Yet To Be Revealed... Our Faith And Perseverance Can Grow Only Under The Pain Of Trial.
