He Looked Beyond My Fault And
Saw My Need (Live) by Gaither Music TV
“For this is the will of God, that you be sanctified –
separated and set apart from sin: that
you abstain and back away from sexual immorality; that each of you know how to
control his own body in holiness and honour – being available for God’s purpose
and separated from things profane.” I Thessalonians 4:3-4
“Therefore, let me warn you beloved, knowing these things
beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of
unprincipled men who distort doctrine and fall from your own steadfastness of
mind, knowledge, truth and faith, but grow spiritually mature in the grace and
knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
To Him be glory, honour, majesty, splendour, both now and to the day of
eternity. Amen.” II Peter 3:17-18
“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the
Lord is, there is liberty – emancipation from bondage, true freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, continually
seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed
into His image from one degree of glory to even more glory, which comes from
the Lord, who is the Spirit.” II Corinthians 3:17-18
“The secret of growing in grace is to grow in knowledge of
the Lord Jesus. To know more about Him
is to want to be more like Him. The
moment we have stepped into the family of God, we are set apart for Him, and we
are to grow more and more like Him.
“We do not grow INTO sanctification, but we grow IN sanctification. We don’t become saints by trying to be good,
but we want to be good because we are saints.[1]”
