Growing in Grace- Links 1/31

Posted on January 31, 2020 by James Williams

From the blog this week: Word and Spirit: The Power to Make Disciples

How Sin Leaves Us Needing the Intervention of God

“A crayon leaves a mark that is easily dealt with. But mold is a living thing. It spreads—it will take your health. It will destroy your house.  Some folks think that sin is like the crayon. When you mess up, cover it over, clean up the mess and move on.

But sin is not like a crayon—it is like the mold.”

The Slowness of Sanctification

“Why is God still prodding at me? I’ve accomplished a lot. How much more needs to be done in my heart?”

Beware the Complacency of “Once Saved, Always Saved”

“We have two seemingly contradictory truths: On the one hand, the Bible says that once God saves you, you’ll always be saved (e.g., John 10; Romans 8); on the other, it says that only if you endure to the end will you be saved (cf. Hebrews 3:12–14).

You have to put the two together.”
