Every Day That We're Not

Sanctification Is The Work Of The Holy Spirit In Us Whereby Our Inner Being Is Progressively Changed, Freeing Us More And More From Sinful Traits And Developing Within Us Over Time The Virtues Of Christlike Character.

A Son Or Daughter In Any Human Family Is Either Born To Or Adopted By The Parents. By Definition, A Child Can't Be Both. But With God We're Both Born Of Him And Adopted By Him.

Truth Is We Must Plant And We Must Water If We Are To Make Progress With Our Children In Holiness But Only The Holy Spirit Can Change Our Children More And More Into The Likeness Of Jesus. Our Problem Is We Tend To Depend Upon Our Planting And Watering Rather Than The Lord.

The Fruit Of Patience In All Its Aspects - Long-suffering, Forbearance, Endurance, And Perseverance - Is A Fruit That Is Most Intimately Associated With Our Devotion To God. All Character Traits Of Godliness Grow Out Of And Have Their Foundation In Our Devotion To God, But The Fruit Of Patience Must Grow Out Of That Relationship In A Particular Way.

Preach The Gospel To Yourself Every Day.
