6. “There are those who, for one reason or another, by-pass the identification truths of Romans Six, and rely rather upon confession and cleansing for dealing with the problem of sin. But there is no real spiritual progress unless the source of sins is dealt with continually by the Spirit’s application of the cross.”
Part Two: Foundations of Spiritual Growth, Chapter 26, Sins and Conscience, p 121
“Now, as long as the believer does not know this dual aspect of his salvation, the best he can do is seek to handle his sins via confession (I John 1:9)—that is, after the damage has been done! This takes care of the penalty of the product but not the source. Is it not time we allowed the Holy Spirit to get at the source and cut off this stream of sins before they are committed? Is this not infinitely better than the wreckage caused by sin, even though confessed? When believers get sick and tired of spinning year after year in a spiritual squirrel cage— sinning, confessing, but then sinning again—they will be ready for God’s answer to the source of sin, which is death to self, brought forth from the completed work of the Cross.
Part One: Principles of Spiritual Growth, Chapter 12, The Cross, pp 50-51

7. “There is no pretension of being without sins; rather, we want them clearly revealed so that they may be confessed and thereby kept from breaking our all-important fellowship with the Father.”
Part Two: Foundations of Spiritual Growth, Chapter 26, Sins and Confession, p 132

8. “Although we abide in the Lord Jesus as our position, we are ever aware of our condition in ourselves. We are concerned about the sinfulness of self, but no longer do we depend upon improvement in that realm for our acceptance.”
Part Two: Foundations of Spiritual Growth, Chapter 21, Reconciliation and Acceptance, p 93
“The spiritually minded believer is conscious of sin in him, but he is fully assured that there is no sin on him; all of his sin has been laid upon the Lord Jesus. Although his condition is needy, for he is indwelt by the principle of sin, he lives in his position in Christ....When the growing believer sins, his conscience and his communion with the Father being thereby disturbed, he freely confesses his sin. He knows that the Lord Jesus ‘is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness’ (1 John 1:9).”
Part Two: Foundations of Spiritual Growth, Chapter 25, Sin and Purged Conscience, pp 113, 114

10. “The agonizing downward process brings us from simply believing on Him at Calvary, to living in Him in heaven—from substitution, to personal identification. As lost sinners we were prepared by the Spirit to see and accept the Lord Jesus as our Substitute; as defeated believers we have to be prepared by the Spirit to see
and abide in the Lord Jesus as our Life. There is no alternative, and He has been faithfully and quietly carrying it out all through the fruitless and failure-ridden years. ‘Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you’ (1 Peter 4:12).
“When the Father has us prepared by means of Romans Seven, He opens the liberating truths of Romans Eight—but not until! It is first, ‘Oh, wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?’ and then, ‘I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord’ (Rom. 7:24, 25).”

11. “At a Spiritual Life Conference many years ago Dr. C. I
“At a Spiritual Life Conference many years ago Dr. C.I. Scofield said, ‘Not everyone, by any means, has had the experience of the seventh of Romans, that agony of conflict, of desire to do what we cannot do, of longing to do the right we find we cannot do. It is a great blessing when a person gets into the seventh of Romans and begins to realize the awful conflict of its
struggle and defeat; because the first step toward getting out of the struggle of the seventh chapter and into the victory of the eighth, is to get into the seventh. Of all the needy classes of people, the neediest of this earth are not those who are having a heartbreaking, agonizing struggle for victory, but those who are having no struggle at all, and no victory, and who do not know it, and who are satisfied and jogging along in a pitiable absence of almost all the possessions that belong to them in Christ.’”
Part One: Principles of Spiritual Growth, Chapter 10, Self, p 40

12. (Evan Hopkins) “How infinite are the forms in which self appears
(Evan Hopkins) “How infinite are the forms in which self appears. Some are occupied with good self. They pride themselves on their excellencies. Others are just as much occupied with bad self. They are forever groaning over their imperfections, and struggling with the flesh as if they hoped in time to improve it. When shall we be convinced it is so utterly bad that it is beyond all recovery? Our experience, upward, in the power of God, is just in proportion to our experience, downward, in ceasing from self.
“Is it, Reckon yourself to be weak in reference to sin? No, it is lower than that. Is it, Reckon yourself to be dying? No, lower still. ‘Reckon yourself to be dead—(Rom. 6:11)—indeed unto sin.’ Some believe they are very weak. But what does that imply? That they have some strength. But when a man is dead he has no strength. We must act on the fact that we are dead in reference to sin. We shall not then speak of difficulty as to resisting temptation in reference to ourselves. We shall take the lowest place, and say it is impossible. But we shall know that what is impossible with self is possible with God. We shall take our place on the resurrection side of the cross, and in so doing we leave behind the old self-life for the new Christ- life. To live in Him who is our Life, is to be in the power of God.”
Part One: Principles of Spiritual Growth, Chapter 10, Self, p 42

13. “When the Christian begins to take God’s side against himself, he is ready to contemplate the Lord Jesus from God’s standpoint, and not from that of self. Then the Holy Spirit is free to carry out the second part of His ministry in the hungry heart, that of conforming him to Christ’s image.”
Part Five: A Guide to Spiritual Growth, Chapter 56, Keep Looking Down!, p 258

14. “As our Substitute He went to the cross alone, without us, to pay the penalty of our sins; as our Representative, He took us with Him to the cross, and there, in the sight of God, we all died together with Christ. We may be forgiven because He died in our stead; we may be delivered because we died with Him.”
Part One: Principles of Spiritual Growth, Chapter 12, The Cross, p 49)
“At Calvary, when our Lord Jesus was made to be sin for us, He was crucified and thereby sin was condemned. At the same time, He took each potential believer as a sinner down into that death. Then He brought us up out of death, as new creations, in His resurrection life. Now and forever, the only position we have as believers is before our Father in His risen Son, cut off (sanctified) from our old relationship to indwelling sin by our death and resurrection in Him.”
Part Two: Foundations of Spiritual Growth, Chapter 25, Sin and Purged Conscience, p 117

15. “Our position in the Lord Jesus Christ is made up of two parts: death and life. Identification with Him in His death issues in identification with Him in His life. Spiritual growth is the result of the old man abiding in the death of the Cross, and the new man abiding in the risen life of Christ. The way of the Cross doesn’t end at the Cross!”
Part Five: A Guide to Spiritual Growth, Chapter 56, Think Position!, p 253
“The old man will never change. It will ever be sinful and produce nothing but death, hence it must neither be cultivated nor coddled. We are to have nothing to do with the old, and everything to do with the new.”
