God’s sufficient grace does not replace our effort; it makes purposeful growth in Christlike character possible.

Christian freedom is not freedom to indulge ourselves, but freedom by the Spirit to love and to grow the character of Christ.

Because we have been raised with Christ, we put to death the old patterns of life and clothe ourselves with his character.

Christian growth calls for our wholehearted obedience because God himself is already at work within us.

Jesus sees us in our brokenness, offers the wholeness we cannot achieve, and enables us to walk in the new life he gives.
