This, the final installation of the "Be Series," comes from 2 Kings.

“To quote D. L. Moody again, ‘He lost his temper; then he lost his pride; then he lost his leprosy; that is generally the order in which proud rebellious sinners are converted.’” (Page 39)

“ Faith that doesn’t lead to obedience isn’t faith at all.” (Page 39)

“The basic cause of his anger was pride. He had already decided in his own mind just how the prophet would heal him, but God didn’t work that way. Before sinners can receive God’s grace, they must submit to God’s will, for ‘God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble’ (1 Peter 5:5, nkjv; see Rom. 10:1–3). Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse used to say, ‘Everybody has the privilege of going to heaven God’s way or going to hell their own way.’” (Page 38)

“We aren’t saved by bringing gifts to God, but by receiving by faith His gift of eternal life (Eph. 2:8–9; John 3:16, 36; Rom. 6:23).” (Page 37)

“How people respond to God’s Word is a good indication of their spiritual appetite and the strength of their desire to please the Lord.” (Page 154)
