Jesus Did Not Die Just To Give

I Realize Anew That, Just As We Must Learn To Obey God One Choice At A Time, We Must Also Learn To Trust God One Circumstance At A Time. Trusting God Is Not A Matter Of My Feelings But Of My Will. I Never Feel Like Trusting God When Adversity Strikes, But I Can Choose To Do So Even When I Don’t Feel Like It. That Act Of The Will, Though, Must Be Based On Belief, And Belief Must Be Based On Truth.

The Heroes Of Faith In Hebrews 11 ... Obeyed By Faith ... Obedience Is The Pathway To Holiness ... No One Will Become Holy Apart From A Life Of Faith. Faith Enables Us To Claim The Promises Of God, But It Also Enables Us To Obey The Commands Of God.

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.

Both Gentleness And Meekness Are Born Of Power, Not Weakness. There Is A Pseudo-gentlene Ss That Is Effeminate, And There Is A Pseudo-meekness That Is Cowardly. But A Christian Is To Be Gentle And Meek Because Those Are Godlike Virtues... We Should Never Be Afraid, Therefore, That The Gentleness Of The Spirit Means Weakness Of Character. It Takes Strength, God's Strength, To Be Truly Gentle.

Faith In Christ And A Reliance On Ourselves, Even To The Smallest Degree, Are Mutually Exclusive.
