Jerry Bridges Quotes

There's a direct correlation between faith in the righteousness of Christ and zeal in the cause of Christ. The more a person counts as loss his own righteousness and lays hold by faith of the righteousness of Christ, the more he'll be motivated to live and work for Christ Picture Quote #1

God never grants justification without also giving sanctification at the same time... Sanctification in us begins as an instantaneous act of the Holy Spirit and is carried forward by His continued action in our lives Picture Quote #1

Progressive sanctification is not a partnership with the Spirit in the sense that we each - the believer and the Holy Spirit - do our respective tasks. Rather, we work as He enables us to work. His work lies behind all our work and makes our work possible Picture Quote #1

A son or daughter in any human family is either born to or adopted by the parents. By definition, a child can't be both. But with God we're both born of Him and adopted by Him Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Supporting God's Scriptural ability to give or restrain man's desires, Jerry Bridges points to an amazing verse tucked away in Exodus 34:24. As Israel's people abandon their defense entirely to have a feast before Him three times per year, God says the surrounding peoples will be entirely devoid of even the logical desire to possess their land Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

As we grow in holiness, we grow in hatred of sin; and God, being infinitely holy, has an infinite hatred of sin Picture Quote #1

I grew up in the 1930's Great Depression when many families struggled to make ends meet, and in an area where old-fashioned country gospel music was popular. Later, as an adult with a more mature outlook on Christianity, I realized that a lot of that music was rather shallow Picture Quote #1

The problem with self righteousness is that it seems almost impossible to recognize in ourselves. We will own up to almost any other sin. but not the sin of self-righteousness. When we have this attitude, though, we deprive ourselves of the joy of living in the grace of God. Because you see, grace is only for sinners Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We're more concerned about our own

Paul acknowledged what we must acknowledge if we are to trust God. God's plan and His way of working out His plan are frequently beyond our ability to fathom and understand. We must learn to trust when we don't understand Picture Quote #1

God's plan and His ways of working out His plan are frequently beyond our ability to fathom and understand. We must learn to trust when we don't understand Picture Quote #1

Because God is sovereign, He is able to answer. Because He is faithful to His promises, He will answer Picture Quote #1

God is never at a loss because He cannot find someone to cooperate with Him in carrying out His plan. He so moves in the hearts of people - either Christians or non Christians, it makes no difference - that they willingly, of their own free will carry out His plans Picture Quote #1

If we are going to persevere as committed disciples of Jesus Christ over the course of our lives, we must always keep the gospel of God's forgiveness through Christ before us Picture Quote #1

God’s sovereignty does not negate our responsibility to pray, but rather makes it possible for us to pray with confidence Picture Quote #1

It is our response to our circumstances rather than the degree of difficulty that determines whether or not we are discontent Picture Quote #1

May we be as severe with ourselves over our own subtle sins as we are with the vile sins we condemn in others Picture Quote #1
