"If you’ve noticed you’re sinning, repent. Then, make the right ‘first’ comparison. The ‘first’ comparison we want to make is taking stock of ourselves in light of God. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Once we are oriented properly, we are able to move forward to proper comparison on a horizontal level that leads us to godly imitation of mature Christians around us."⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ep. 94 | Comparison with @abigail__dodds
"Comparison is how we acquaint ourselves not just with the law giver but with the law itself. It shows us how we fall short. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ It is how we show that we can’t measure up to God’s standards. The realization that we can’t measure up is the pathway that leads to the green pastures of grace."⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ep. 94 | Comparison with @abigail__dodds
The gospel is where we find grace. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Grace is power, not just pardon - John Piper ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Saving grace is also sanctifying grace. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ep. 94 | Comparison with Abigail Dodds @abigail__dodds
“As Christians we need to stop and think about what we mean by saying ,’Comparison is the thief of joy.’⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ If someone is feeling bad about themselves or comparing themselves to others and we tell them, ‘comparison is the thief of joy, just stop comparing yourself to others and that’s the solution.’ Sometimes what accompanies that statement is ‘you’re perfect just the way you are.’ Soothing yourself with ‘you’re great just the way you are’ is the wrong way to fill ourselves up. It won’t really work in the end."⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ep. | 94 Comparison with @abigail__dodds
On today’s episode of the Journeywomen podcast, we’re continuing our ten-part series living in light of redemption. Today we're chatting with Abigail Dodds about comparison and we're willing to bet her take on it will leave you with a lot to chew on.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Listen to what she said, “If you’ve noticed you’re sinning, repent. Then, make the right ‘first’ comparison. The ‘first’ comparison we want to make is taking stock of ourselves in light of God. Once we are oriented properly, we are able to move forward to proper comparison on a horizontal level that leads us to godly imitation of mature Christians around us.”⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀
"He is a redeeming God who is making all things new. So we can also become instruments of redemption in the great storyline that he is writing from one generation to the next. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ As God is redeeming us, it’s not just about us and our story. It’s about a great, big, huge story of redemption that God is writing through all of the ages and we get to be a part of that."⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ep. 93 | Living in Light of Redemption with Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth⁠ @nancydemoss
