Top Highlights

“Your worst days are never so bad that you’re beyond the reach of God’s grace. And your best days are never so good that you’re beyond the need of God’s grace.” (Page 19)

“Our first problem is that our attitude toward sin is more self-centered than God-centered. We’re more concerned about our own ‘victory’ over sin than we are about the fact that our sins grieve God’s heart. We cannot tolerate failure in our struggle with sin chiefly because we are success-oriented, not because we know it’s offensive to God.” (Page 16)

“This pursuit requires sustained, vigorous effort. It allows for no indolence, no lethargy, no halfhearted commitment, and no laissez-faire attitude toward even the smallest sins. In short, it demands the highest priority in a Christian’s life because to be holy is to be like Christ—God’s goal for every Christian.” (Page 8)

“We can begin each day with the deeply encouraging realization, I’m accepted by God, not on the basis of my personal performance, but on the basis of the infinitely perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ.” (Page 10)

“God wants us to walk in obedience—not victory. Obedience is oriented toward God; victory is oriented toward self.” (Page 16)
