Our sinful cravings are not from God. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%203:27&version=NIV 2009-08-26T14:29:45-05:00 Christians are saved by God's grace--and as such, they have no reason to boast about anything they've done. They haven't kept the law themselves, and so can't boast about their behavior. http://70030.netministry.com/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=35621&columnid=3803 2008-10-27T17:44:59-05:00 Refuse to consider boasting! Just as Paul rebuked the Galatian church for mixing up grace and law (Galatians 3:1-3), he goes after the Romans for the same. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/Staying-Close-to-the-Cross-5239 2008-07-31T14:34:43-05:00 Let the price that Jesus paid for you define your priorities. Live for the One who loves you the most, who gave His life for you. Don't let anyone or anything push Him to the edge. Let the cross inspire your humility, no matter how successful, how applauded and how appreciated you may be. Don't ever forget you're nothing except for that cross. Let the cross help you say no to sin. Jesus died for that sin!
