Old-fashioned Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

Our relationship with God is based entirely on grace. If we needed to merit all our blessings, God would simply be giving us what we are owed. In a sense, we would not be debtors to Him, but rather He would be a debtor to us. However, we must not jettison other biblical principles that say Christians can forfeit or add to their blessings based upon the spiritual fruit that He produces in our lives. The Bible teaches this very principle regarding “sowing and reaping” and eternal rewards.

It is good to understand that Christ’s service never did secure a man from all the ills that flesh is heir to, and never will. If you are a believer, you must reckon on having your share of sickness and pain, of sorrow and tears, of losses and crosses, of deaths and bereavements, of partings and separations, of vexations and disappointments, so long as you are in the body. Christ never undertakes that you shall get to heaven without these. He has undertaken that all who come to Him shall have all things pertaining to life and godliness; but He has never undertaken that He will make them prosperous, or rich, or healthy, and that death and sorrow shall never come to their family.

J.C. Ryle

Sensible, reasonable men are approachable. They are not defensive when confronted. You can discuss things with them without the conversation becoming personal, confrontational, aggressive or argumentative. They think with their biblically informed head and not their fleshly driven feelings. They are able to see beyond their side of the situation. They have as their primary goal the glory of God, even if that comes in their humiliation. They are filled with the Holy Spirit and demonstrate the fruit of self-control.
