Top Highlights
“The flesh is an attitude or inclination operating in complete rejection of the divine will that requires self-sacrificial submission, choosing rather the free expression of anything and everything that will bring self-gratification. It is in this flesh that the law of sin and death moves and has its being.” (Page 151)
“But divine wrath should never be confused with human anger for it contains none of the uncontrolled passion, the unreasonable outbursts, the self-vindication that are the unfortunate ingredients of human wrath. God’s wrath is ‘right’: it is a holy response to the unholy, a just reaction to the unjust, a pure rejection of the impure. In fact, for God not to express wrath at much of what goes on in our world would be wrong. Not only is His wrath intrinsically right—failure to respond in wrath would be intrinsically wrong.” (Page 39)
“The old Puritans used to say, ‘God does not take away our ability to sin; He gives us the power not to sin.’” (Page 134)
“He rightly insists that the will of God is to be discovered and done with such relish that it will be proved to be good, acceptable, and perfect. He does not promise that the careless, the casual, and the uncommitted will somehow land on their feet and find out that they did God’s will by accident. Rather he states that those who genuinely do what is required will find in their own experience the reality of the sweet will of God.” (Page 216)
“By this expression Paul means that God equips each believer for a particular task and expects him to discover and fulfill his special role in the context of the believing community. Once this is understood, the believer is delivered from a number of potential miscalculations. He will not aspire to be more than God intends him to be, but he will not settle for being less than he was created and redeemed to be.” (Page 216)
