- Transforming Grace: Living Confidently in God's Unfailing Love
Jerry gets to the heart of sanctification in his chapter entitled Holiness: We think God gives us the sports coat of justification by His grace, but we must "buy" the slacks of sanctification by our own efforts. But salvation is like a suit. It always comes with the jacket of justification and the pants of sanctification. God never gives one without the other because both are necessary to have the complete suit of salvation.
Transforming Grace: Living Confidently in God's Unfailing Love by Jerry Bridges
Sanctification in us begins as an instantaneous act of the Holy Spirit and is carried forward by His continued action in our lives. Go get this book and in fact by 5 or 10, this is truly a book that will change lives because it changed my heart many years ago when I first read it.

We cannot in any way grow or diminish in our position of acceptance by God because Jesus Christ did absolutely everything necessary to turn away God's wrath forever and did absolutely everything necessary to keep us fully accepted by God without any wavering or second guessing on God's part. God cannot justly diminish His relationship with us because of our sins or increase our fellowship with Him because of any righteous acts on our part.
Jesus did it all: But Jerry comes up short by constantly saying in one way or another that grace is unmerited. The Bible is clear: There is not a single person who has been justified, sanctified, and glorified with a grace, a favor, that was not earned.
We find in Luke that Jesus grew in favor with God. This is exactly the point. All grace ever shown to sinners was because Jesus earned it as our Substitute. And considering the doctrine of imputation and the many "in Him" types of phrasings used by Paul, the Bible actually teaches that forensically legally , Christians earned their salvation.
To put it another way: It is interesting that when people define grace, they, like Jerry, define it 2 ways: Well, which is it? These 2 explanations are diametrically opposed. Either God's favor wasn't merited option 1 , or it was merited option 2. God's favor is always merited; thankfully Jesus did it for us. Again, the Bible knows nothing of the sort.
Transforming Grace: Living Confidently in God's Unfailing Love
God's love for sinners is fully conditional upon Jesus Christ meeting fully, for us, the conditions required of us by God to be loved by Him: Do you remember the rich young ruler from Matthew 19? He came to Jesus and asked him how he could earn salvation. Jesus told him to keep the commandments but when the young man confessed that he had kept them all, Jesus was able to see the covetousness of the man's heart. When told to sell everything that he had and follow Jesus, the young ruler went away sad because he knew he couldn't conform to the spirit of the law.
People may be able to keep some part of the external law but deep down they must contend with hate, pride, anger, greed and envy. Only grace changes our hearts. When you are saved by grace alone, the Holy Spirit of God comes in to dwell on the inside of you and He empowers you to do the impossible. He will help you fulfill God's desire and make you what God wants you to be. God wants to free us up to serve, sacrifice, love, give, and obey Him. External laws don't permeate every part of your being, but living in God's grace requires daily intimacy and openness to the Holy Spirit.
He makes you conscious of what is left undone, calls you to walk in humility, forbids you to put on a social mask, and calls you to a correct view of God. If you want to live in power and victory, explore and invest in the overwhelming grace of God through His Son Jesus Christ.
