• Taking responsibility for our sin

  Our church is studying Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges. I have read quite a few of his books and would have a difficult time picking the one that has helped me the most in my Christian walk.

  The quote below is very thought provoking! 

  "When I say that I am defeated by some sin, I am unconsciously slipping out from under my responsibility. I am saying something outside of me has defeated me. But when I say I am disobedient, that places the responsibility for my sin squarely on me." 

  Jerry Bridges in The Pursuit of Holiness.

   

  For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. Romans 8:13
