As We Grow In Holiness, We Grow

Trust Is Not A Passive State Of Mind. It Is A Vigorous Act Of The Soul By Which We Choose To Lay Hold On The Promises Of God And Cling To Them Despite The Adversity That At Times Seeks To Overwhelms Us.

Legalism Insists On Conformity To Manmade Religious Rules And Requirements, Which Are Often Unspoken But Are Nevertheless Very Real... There Are Far Too Many Instances Within Christendom Where Our Traditions And Rules Are, In Practice, More Important Than God's Commands.

Every Day Of Our Christian Experience Should Be A Day Of Relating To God On The Basis Of His Grace Alone. We Are Not Only Saved By Grace, But We Also Live By Grace Every Day.

The Bible Is Full Of God's Promises To Provide For Us Spiritually And Materially, To Never Forsake Us, To Give Us Peace In Times Of Difficult Circumstances, To Cause All Circumstances To Work Together For Our Good, And Finally To Bring Us Safely Home To Glory. Not One Of Those Promises Is Dependent Upon Our Performance. They Are All Dependent On The Grace Of God Given To Us Through Jesus Christ.

We Don't Have To Start All Over Again And Try To Keep The Slate Clean. There Is No More Slate.
