Lord, I Am Willing To Receive What

To Be Justified Means More Than To Be Declared "not Guilty." It Actually Means To Be Declared Righteous Before God. It Means God Has Imputed Or Charged The Guilt Of Our Sin To His Son, Jesus Christ, And Has Imputed Or Credited Christ's Righteousness To Us.

Prayer Assumes The Sovereignty Of God. If God Is Not Sovereign, We Have No Assurance That He Is Able To Answer Our Prayers. Our Prayers Would Become Nothing More Than Wishes. But While God's Sovereignty, Along With His Wisdom And Love, Is The Foundation Of Our Trust In Him, Prayer Is The Expression Of That Trust.

Truth Is We Must Plant And We Must Water If We Are To Make Progress With Our Children In Holiness But Only The Holy Spirit Can Change Our Children More And More Into The Likeness Of Jesus. Our Problem Is We Tend To Depend Upon Our Planting And Watering Rather Than The Lord.

Jesus Did Not Die Just To Save Us From The Penalty Of Sin, Nor Even Just To Make Us Holy In Our Standing Before God. He Died To Purify For Himself A People Eager To Obey Him, A People Eager To Be Transformed Into His Likeness.

The Heroes Of Faith In Hebrews 11 ... Obeyed By Faith ... Obedience Is The Pathway To Holiness ... No One Will Become Holy Apart From A Life Of Faith. Faith Enables Us To Claim The Promises Of God, But It Also Enables Us To Obey The Commands Of God.
