Grace Is The Love Of God Shown

God Never Allows Pain Without A Purpose.

In Order To Trust God, We Must Always View Our Adverse Circumstances Through The Eyes Of Faith, Not Of Sense. And Just As The Faith Of Salvation Comes Through Hearing The Message Of The Gospel (romans 10:17), So The Faith To Trust God In Adversity Comes Through The Word Of God Alone. It Is Only In The Scriptures That We Find An Adequate View Of God's Relationship To And Involvement In Our Painful Circumstances. It Is Only From The Scriptures, Applied To Our Hearts By The Holy Spirit, That We Receive The Grace To Trust God In Adversity.

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.

God Is Worthy Of My Loving Obedience Because Of Who He Is, Not Because Of What He Does.

Grace... Expresses Two Complementary Thoughts: God's Unmerited Favor To Us Through Christ, And God's Divine Assistance To Us Through The Holy Spirit.
