Quotes By Author: Jerry Bridges

“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.”

“Our duty is found in the revealed will of God in the Scriptures. Our trust must be in the sovereign will of God as He works in the ordinary circumstances of our daily lives for our good and His glory.”

“As we grow in the knowledge of God’s holiness, even though we are growing in the practice of holiness, it seems the gap between our knowledge and our practice always gets wider. This is the Holy Spirit’s way of drawing us to more and more holiness.”

“We’re more concerned about our own “victory” over sin than we are about the fact that our sins grieve God’s heart.”
