Jerry Bridges: We Must Reaffirm Our Salvation Daily

Posted in Uncategorized by Paul M. Dohse Sr. on January 17, 2013

“The realization that my daily relationship with God is based on the infinite merit of Christ instead of on my own performance is a very freeing and joyous experience. But it is not meant to be a one-time experience; the truth needs to be reaffirmed daily.” – Jerry Bridges, Transforming Grace, pp. 11,12

“….my daily relationship,”  obviously speaking of the daily Christian life and our relationship to God; it has to based on Christ’s merits alone and not any kind  of “performance.” Therefore, he is saying that their is no difference in a performance FOR JUSTIFICATION and performance IN SANCTIFICATION. Also, a reaffirmation of Christ’s work as a replacement for our work in sanctification is prescribed “instead of” anything we do.

Just another example of progressive justification in our day.
