Quotes by Bob Deffinbaugh

While sin is an occasion for grace, grace is never to be an occasion for sin.

Bob Deffinbaugh

While the Law defines righteousness, only grace delivers it. The Law was never intended to be a means of obtaining grace; it was given to demonstrate to men that grace was desperately needed.

Bob Deffinbaugh

Godly anger is always under the control of the one expressing it, rather than anger taking control of them.

Bob Deffinbaugh

Satan recognizes anger as a fertile field, capable of producing all kinds of sin.

Bob Deffinbaugh

Godly people are angry when God is angry. It is anger which is consistent with the holy and righteous character of God.

Bob Deffinbaugh

Some are greatly troubled by the fact that grace is bestowed sovereignly, but what other basis is there for its distribution? In Romans 9:14 Paul asks the question: Can God be just when grace is given to some but not to others? He answers his own question by reminding the reader that justice can only condemn all men, for all have sinned. We dare not plead for justice with God, for justice can only be satisfied by our condemnation. Grace operates on a totally different basis. Grace does not give men what they deserve, but what God delights to give, in spite of their sin. God is only unjust if He withholds from men benefits which they rightfully deserve, but He is gracious in bestowing upon men salvation and blessings which they could never merit.
