Jerry Bridges Quote: “Introspection can easily become the tool of Satan, who is called the accuser. One of his chief weapons is discouragement. He knows that if he can make us discouraged and dispirited we will not fight the battle for holiness.”
Jerry Bridges Quote: “But we need to pray daily for humility and honesty to see these sinful attitudes for that they really are, and then for grace and discipline to root them out of our minds and replace them with thoughts pleasing to God.”
Jerry Bridges Quote: “As we grow in holiness, we grow in hatred of sin; and God, being infinitely holy, has an infinite hatred of sin.”
Jerry Bridges Quote: “We fail to see the gospel as the solution to our greatest problem-our guilt, condemnation, and alienation from God. Beyond that, we fail to see it as the basis of our day-to-day acceptance with Him. As a result, many believers live in spiritual poverty.”
Jerry Bridges Quote: “We cannot separate trust in God from the fear of God. We will trust Him only to the extent that we genuinely stand in awe of Him.”
Jerry Bridges Quote: “Devotion to God is the only acceptable motive for actions that are pleasing to God.”

Jerry Bridges Quote: “Because peace is a fruit of the Spirit, we are dependent upon the Spirit’s work in our lives to produce the desire and the means to pursue peace.

Jerry Bridges Quote: “In both its precepts and penalty, the law of God in its most exacting requirements was fulfilled by Jesus. And He did this in our place as our representative and our substitute.”
Jerry Bridges Quote: “Shall we presume on God’s grace by tolerating in ourselves the very sin that nailed Christ to the cross?”
Jerry Bridges Quote: “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.”
Jerry Bridges Quote: “God will never allow any action against you that is not in accord with His will for you. And His will is always directed to our good.”
Jerry Bridges Quote: “Giving thanks to God for both His temporal and spiritual blessings in our lives is not just a nice thing to do – it is the moral will of God. Failure to give Him the thanks due Him is sin.”
Jerry Bridges Quote: “Worship from the heart in times of adversity implies an attitude of humble acceptance on our part of God’s right to do as He pleases in our lives.”
Jerry Bridges Quote: “We take what we think are the tools of spiritual transformation into our own hands and try to sculpt ourselves into robust Christlike specimens. But spiritual transformation is primarily the work of the Holy Spirit. He is the Master Sculptor.”

Jerry Bridges Quote: “As we become soft and lazy in our bodies, we tend to become soft and lazy spiritually.”
Jerry Bridges Quote: “The grace that brought salvation to you is the same grace that teaches or disciplines you. But you must respond on the basis of grace, not law.”
Jerry Bridges Quote: “Holiness is the perfection of all His other attributes: His power is holy power; His mercy is holy mercy; His wisdom is holy wisdom. It is His holiness more than any other attribute that makes Him worthy of our praise.”
Jerry Bridges Quote: “The knowledge of His sovereignty is meant to be an encouragement to pray, not an excuse to lapse into a sort of pious fatalism.”
Jerry Bridges Quote: “What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.”2.”

Jerry Bridges Quote: “Some days we may be more acutely conscious of our sinfulness and hence more aware of our need of His grace, but there is never a day when we can stand before Him on our own two feet of performance, when we are worthy enough to deserve His blessing.”
Jerry Bridges Quote: “Christ’s whole demeanor was such that people were often restful in His presence. This effect is another outworking of the grace of gentleness. People are at rest, or at ease, around the Christian who is truly gentle.”
