“Preach the gospel to yourself every day.”
― Jerry Bridges, The Discipline of Grace: God's Role and Our Role in the Pursuit of Holiness

“Nothing cuts the nerve of the desire to pursue holiness as much as a sense of guilt. On the contrary, nothing so motivates us to deal with sin in our lives as does the understanding and application of the two truth that our sins are forgiven and the dominion of sin is broken because of our union with Christ.”
― Jerry Bridges, The Discipline of Grace: God's Role and Our Role in the Pursuit of Holiness

“All pain we experience is intended to move us closer to the goal of being holy as He is holy.”
― Jerry Bridges, The Discipline of Grace: God's Role and Our Role in the Pursuit of Holiness

“In times of adversity Satan will seek to plant the thought in our minds that God is angry with us and is disciplining us out of wrath. Here is another instance when we need to preach the gospel to ourselves. It is the gospel that will reassure that the penalty for our sins has been paid, that God's justice has been fully satisfied. It is the gospel that supplies a good part of the armor of God with which we are to stand against the accusing attacks of the Devil (see Ephesians 6:13-17).”
