Holiness is not achieved by keeping any set of rules. Doing that is called legalism. In my experience, legalistic people are usually very unloving, they are critical, they are self-righteous, they are exclusive and all they want to do is get you keeping their set of rules.

| | Re: | | That was a great quote Lysa.
Here is one in the same general genre.
"The Christian...life is dynamic. Each situation, like each person, is novel. The command of God is not a general rule, or collection of rules. It is always particular for a person at this moment, in this situation. In the unity recovered through grace, in the union with God, we are in the presence of quite a different ethical orientation. It can only be lived in Christ. There is no Christian life without the action of the Holy Spirit, without His inspiration and guidance. The necessity for God's intervening to guide our lives puts an end to our pretending to erect a Christian morality. Christian living does not exist as a morality; for he who lives it, lives by it. He does not follow commandments nor achieve objectives. He lives by the word of God which nourishes him, guides him, and carries him. There is not one Christian life. There are as many Christian lives as there are Christians. One lives in ever-surprising novelty. (Jacques Ellul - To Will and To Do. Pilgrim Press. 1969. pg. 201-219)

"Lots of people want to be free from the Devil, from the dread of hell and from the fear of punishment, but do not want to be free from sin? Do you want to be free from sin or are you sure you don't want some of it because you like it? The tragedy of sin is that people love it." - G.W. North

| | Re: | | "Yea, it will make the Christian disburse his praises for the mercy long before it is received...for want of looking up many a prayer is lost. If you do not believe, why do you pray? And if you believe, why do you not expect? By praying you seem to depend on God; by not expecting, you again renounce your confidence. What is this, but to take His name in vain? O Christian, stand to your prayer in a holy expectation of what you have begged upon the credit of promise...Mordecai, no doubt, had put up many prayers for Esther, and therefor he waits at the kings gate, looking what answer God would, in His providence, give thereunto."
-William Gurnall. (Quoted from "The Treasury of David." By Charles Spurgeon. Commenting on Verse 3 of Psalm 5. Volume 1 of the Unabridged version 1970, Associated Publishers and Authors, inc. pp 56.) |

“How little chance the Holy Ghost has nowadays. The churches and missionary societies have so bound him in red tape that they practically ask Him to sit in a corner while they do the work themselves.” - C.T. Studd

"What are you going to do when you get to eternity, if you can't stick in an hour with God down here? In God's name, what are you going to do in a million year s in God's presence? Expect some reports from earth about football or something? We are not eternity conscious enough." - Leonard Ravenhill

"A tiny group of believers who have the gospel keep mumbling it over and over to themselves. Meanwhile, millions who have never heard it once fall into the flames of eternal hell without ever hearing the salvation story."
