'One of my goals in the coming year is to finish more of the books that I have started. This is a book I just finished, which was something I was reading and studying for Lent. Here are a couple of quotes:
Make no mistake! Sin isn’t a concept. It’s a living organism. (138)
Those with deep spirituality have a stong conviction abou their sinful natures (147)
The goal of righteousness is Jesus. (139)
Sometimes as we grow in grace, we get the feeling that we’re growing in sin. When this happens we shouldn’t yell to high heaven, we should give thanks. We should be grateful that God has saved us and called us to a righteous life. Now we understand Paul when he says to the Romans, “There sin increased, grace abounded all the more” (Rom. 5:20) (148).
