Our worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace.

Our worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace.

God, Bridges, Grace

God's grace is not given to make us feel better, but to glorify Him... Good feelings may come, or they may not, but that is not the issue. The issue is whether or not we honor God by the way we respond to our circumstances.

Feel Better, Issues, Grace

Jerry Bridges (2017). “Transforming Grace”, p.316, NavPress

Grace is never cheap. It is absolutely free to us, but infinitely expensive to God... Anyone who is prone to use grace as a license for irresponsible, sinful behavior, surely does not appreciate the infinite price God paid to give us His grace.

Appreciate, Giving, Grace

Jerry Bridges (2017). “Transforming Grace”, p.161, NavPress

We could not take one step in the pursuit of holiness if God in His grace had not first delivered us from the dominion of sin and brought us into union with His risen Son. Salvation is by grace and sanctification is by grace.

Son, Grace, Unions

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.

Jesus, Acceptance, Grace

Jerry Bridges (2014). “Transforming Grace: Living Confidently in Gods Unfailing Love”, p.59, Tyndale House

Grace is the love of God shown to the unlovely. It is God reaching downward to people who are in rebellion against him.

People, Grace, God Love

Jerry Bridges (1991). “Transforming Grace: Living Confidently in God's Unfailing Love”, Navpress Publishing Group

Every day of our Christian experience should be a day of relating to God on the basis of His grace alone. We are not only saved by grace, but we also live by grace every day.

Christian, Grace, Should

We all want Grace, but we cannot enjoy Grace when there is an attitude of comparing.

Attitude, Grace, Want

Jerry Bridges (2017). “Transforming Grace”, p.81, NavPress

We must pray constantly for His enabling grace to say no to temptation, of choosing to take all practical steps to avoid known areas of temptation and flee from those that surprise us.

Temptation, Grace, Enabling

The pursuit of holiness must be anchored in the grace of God; otherwise it is doomed to failure

Grace, Holiness, Pursuit

Jerry Bridges (2014). “The Discipline of Grace: God's Role and Our Role in the Pursuit of Holiness”, p.10, Tyndale House

The person who is living by grace sees this vast contrast between his own sins against God and the offenses of others against him. He forgives others because he himself has been so graciously forgiven. He realizes that, by receiving God’s forgiveness through Christ, he has forfeited the right to be offended when others hurt him.

Hurt, Grace, Forgiving

Jerry Bridges (2014). “Transforming Grace: Living Confidently in Gods Unfailing Love”, p.27, Tyndale House

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.

Godly, Focus, Grace

Grace... expresses two complementary thoughts: God's unmerited favor to us through Christ, and God's divine assistance to us through the Holy Spirit.

Two, Grace, Favors

Jerry Bridges (2016). “The Practice of Godliness”, p.98, NavPress

Grace stands in direct opposition to any supposed worthiness on our part. To say it another way: Grace and works are mutually exclusive. As Paul said in Romans 11:6, "And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace." Our relationship with God is based on either works or grace. There is never a works-plus-grace relationship with Him.

Grace, Way, Our Relationship

Jerry Bridges (2014). “Transforming Grace: Living Confidently in Gods Unfailing Love”, p.13, Tyndale House

Our very worst days are never beyond the reach of God's grace.

Grace, God's Grace, Worst

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.

Law, Discipline, Grace

Jerry Bridges (2014). “Growing Your Faith: How to Mature in Christ”, p.29, Tyndale House
