Comments on: I Give Up! http://drjeffadams.com/2008/02/07/i-give-up/ Hi! This is my chance to chat with you about anything that pops into my mind. That means it is usually unedited and unpolished, just like conversations with friends ought to be. So, grab a cup of coffee or tea and let's talk!

I can't resist replying with a quote from a most excellent source, The Complete Green Letters by Miles Stanford (blatant plug to blog readers, get the book!) "The appropriation of, the resting in the reality must be on the basis of faith, not struggle and labor. We are told to reckon, to count upon what we now know to be true of us in Him as set forth in the Word. "In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength" (Isaiah 30:15). We are to look quietly and steadily to our Father in confident trust, and thankfully receive that which He has given to us in His Son." It is a complete and marvelous work Christ did for us, and all that remains for us to "do" is to rest in it. hmmm the believers rest.

I have been reading Grace Walk by Steve McVey, which deals with the topic. "Just say it's so" made me smile and think of Manely Beasley. Thanks, Jeff! Ahhh..how refreshing.
