Here Is A Spiritual Principle: We Cannot Exercise Love Unless We Are Experiencing Grace. You Cannot Truly Love Others Unless You Are Convinced That God's Love For You Is Unconditional, Based Solely On The Merit Of Christ, Not On Your Performance. Our Love, Either To God Or To Others, Can Only Be A Response To His Love For Us.

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.

We Are 100 Percent Responsible For The Pursuit Of Holiness, But At The Same Time We Are 100 Percent Dependent Upon The Holy Spirit To Enable Us In That Pursuit. The Pursuit Of Holiness Is Not A Pull-yourself-up-by-your-own-bootstraps Approach To The Christian Life.

The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Fundamentally Relational. Rather Than Originating With Us, It Flows To Us From Our Union With Christ, And It Flows Beyond Us To Bring Us Into Fellowship With Others. The Secret Of This Flow - And Our Unity With God And Others - Is Humility.

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.

Three Means By Which God Assures Us That We Do Have Eternal Life: 1. The Promises Of His Word, 2. The Witness Of The Spirit In Our Hearts, 3. The Transforming Work Of The Spirit In Our Lives.
