Jesus did not die just to give us peace and a purpose in life; he died to save us from the wrath of God.

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.

Jesus did not die just to give us peace and a purpose in life; he died to save us from the wrath of God.

Godly character flows out of devotion to God and practically confirms the reality of that devotion.

Uncontrolled temper is soon dissipated on others. Resentment, bitterness, and self-pity build up inside our hearts and eat away at our spiritual lives like a slowly spreading cancer.

The level of our obedience is most often determined by the behavior standard of other Christians around us.

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.
