God Never Allows Pain Without A Purpose.

Duty Or Guilt May Motivate Us For Awhile, But Only A Sense Of Christ's Love For Us Will Motivate Us For A Lifetime.

When We Commit Ourselves To The Pursuit Of Holiness, We Need To Ensure That Our Commitment Is Actually To God, Not Simply To A Holy Lifestyle Or A Set Of Moral Values ... Offer Yourselves To God, And In Doing That Commit Yourselves To The Pursuit Of Holiness In Order To Please Him.

As We Grow In Holiness, We Grow In Hatred Of Sin; And God, Being Infinitely Holy, Has An Infinite Hatred Of Sin.

The Assurance Of His Total Forgiveness Of Our Sins Through The Blood Of Christ Means We Don't Have To Play Defensive Games Anymore. We Don't Have To Rationalize And Excuse Our Sins. We Can Call Sin Exactly What It Is, Regardless Of How Ugly And Shameful It May Be, Because We Know That Jesus Bore That Sin In His Body On The Cross.

Bitterness Arises In Our Hearts When We Do Not Trust In The Sovereign Rule Of God In Our Lives
