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 Godโs forgiveness through Christ, he has forfeited the right to be offended when others hurt him.
Jerry BridgesIf we want proof of God's love for us, then we must look first at the Cross where God offered up His Son as a sacrifice for our sins. Calvary is the one objective, absolute, irrefutable proof of God's love for us.
Jerry BridgesThere is no point in praying for victory over temptation if we are not willing to make a commitment to say no to it.
