We have been working through
The Pursuit of Holiness in our Tuesday night Bible Studies. This morning I have been preparing for next week. Jerry Bridges speaks about 'reckoning' that we are dead to sin (Romans 6:11). At the end of the chapter he comments:
So we see that God has made provision for our holiness. Through Christ He has delivered us from sin’s reign so that we now can resist sin. But the responsibility for resisting is ours. God does not do that for us. To confuse the potential for resisting (which God provided) with the responsibility for resisting (which is ours) is to court disaster in our pursuit of holiness.
