I've gotten a fair amount of feedback from this post, from people like you who have been in the faith much longer than myself, which leads me to believe that this is not a struggle that really goes away. There will always be "forces" at work trying to snatch grace from our hearts, luring us into legalism, or else luring us in the other direction, using grace as a license for sin. That's why it's so important we don't lose sight of grace, what it really is and how it really operates in our lives.<br /><br />Thanks for the words of wisdom and encouragement.Laurie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15840896949617719814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441908040982501903.post-50067723414007441412010-04-19T11:35:44.046-07:002010-04-19T11:35:44.046-07:00Quite a discourse, Laurie!

Two, I had seen this quotation (attributed to Spurgeon) just a little earlier today on Facebook:<br /><br />"I have never known what it is to be out of the seventh of Romans, nor out of the eighth of Romans, either—the whole passage has been solid Truth of God to my experience. I have struggled against inward sin and rejoiced in complete justification at the same time."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441908040982501903.post-28189645536206932722010-04-19T04:32:03.497-07:002010-04-19T04:32:03.497-07:00What a wonderful post.

There is no safe place for a troubled conscience but Christ and him crucified.<br />God blessKerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523153276984536838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441908040982501903.post-72331160495162051782010-04-17T05:32:24.122-07:002010-04-17T05:32:24.122-07:00Thanks, Laurie, for a good read.Thanks, Laurie, for a good read.WhiteStonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345496310218224780noreply@blogger.com
