Every day God patiently bears with us, and every day we are tempted to become impatient with our friends, neighbors, and loved ones. And our faults and failures before God are so much more serious than the petty actions of others that tend to irritate us! God calls us to graciously bear with the weaknesses of others, tolerating them and forgiving them even as He has forgiven us.

Not only has the debt (of our sins) been fully paid, there is no possibility of ever going into debt again.

The Bible is full of God's promises to provide for us spiritually and materially, to never forsake us, to give us peace in times of difficult circumstances, to cause all circumstances to work together for our good, and finally to bring us safely home to glory. Not one of those promises is dependent upon our performance. They are all dependent on the grace of God given to us through Jesus Christ.

Holiness is nothing less than conformity to the character of God

Faith enables us to obey when obedience is costly or seems unreasonable to the natural mind.

Bitterness arises in our hearts when we do not trust in the sovereign rule of God in our lives

God makes provision for our holiness, but He gives us the responsibility of using those provisions.
