“Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 5:20-21 ESV)
“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

Child of mine, let’s start here together. It’s a good thing Jesus loves sinners like us, isn’t it?

QUESTIONS to ask about the verses:
