We Must Allow The Bible To Say

The Holy Spirit Makes Us Aware Of Our Lack Of Holiness To Stimulate Us To Deeper Yearning And Striving For Holiness. But Satan Will Attempt To Use The Holy Spirit’s Work To Discourage Us.

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.

Bitterness Arises In Our Hearts When We Do Not Trust In The Sovereign Rule Of God In Our Lives

The Realization That My Daily Relationship With God Is Based On The Infinite Merit Of Christ Instead Of On My Own Performance Is A Very Freeing And Joyous Experience. But It Is Not Meant To Be A One-time Experience; The Truth Needs To Be Reaffirmed Daily.

The Solution To Staying On The Right Side Of The Fine Line Between Using And Abusing Grace Is Repentance. The Road To Repentance Is Godly Sorrow (2 Corinthians 7:10). Godly Sorrow Is Developed When We Focus On The True Nature Of Sin As An Offense Against God Rather Than Something That Makes Us Feel Guilty.
