As We Grow In The Knowledge Of

Only Those Who Walk In Holiness Experience True Joy.

Grace Is The Love Of God Shown To The Unlovely. It Is God Reaching Downward To People Who Are In Rebellion Against Him.

We Ought To Be As Earnest And Frequent In Our Prayers Of Thanksgiving When The Cupboard Is Full As We Would Be In Our Prayers Of Supplication If The Cupboards Were Bare.

In Order To Trust God, We Must Always View Our Adverse Circumstances Through The Eyes Of Faith, Not Of Sense. And Just As The Faith Of Salvation Comes Through Hearing The Message Of The Gospel (romans 10:17), So The Faith To Trust God In Adversity Comes Through The Word Of God Alone. It Is Only In The Scriptures That We Find An Adequate View Of God's Relationship To And Involvement In Our Painful Circumstances. It Is Only From The Scriptures, Applied To Our Hearts By The Holy Spirit, That We Receive The Grace To Trust God In Adversity.

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.
