5 “We are not delivered by belief only in the liberation truths
“We are not delivered by belief only in the liberation truths! Certainly we must believe and appropriate these truths, but the actual liberation comes as the result of our intimate, personal fellowship with the Lord Jesus through the Holy Spirit. Simply put, the principle is: liberation is in the Liberator.” Part Four: The Realization of Spiritual Growth, Chapter 41, “Three Steps in Reckoning,” pg 188 “He not only reveals the scriptural truths concerning Christ and the Cross to our faith, but also transmits their reality to us.” Part Five: A Guide to Spiritual Growth, Chapter 57, “Keep Looking Down!,” p 257

7 “Even though the work is complete in Christ, there is nothing automatic about our experience of it. Ours is the responsibility of faith. We were not only born anew by faith, but we are to live, walk, and grow by faith. To enter intelligently and cooperatively into that which our Father has established for us in Christ, by faith we are to ‘put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness’ (Eph. 4:24). This simply means that we are to rest in our position in the Lord Jesus as our life. We are to abide there because we have already been established (born) there.” Part Two: Foundations of Spiritual Growth, Chapter 22, “Completeness and Security,” p 96

8 “Many of us willingly reckon upon the crucifixion of the old man, only to draw back from the Cross when we feel the bite of the nails. It takes a real hatred of the old life, coupled with a deep hunger for the new, to be able to glory in the Cross that crucifies.” Part Four: The Realization of Spiritual Growth, Chapter 48, “The Self-Life and Reckoning,” p 218

9 “… the first stage of faith is always the battle of taking hold by the will, heart, and intelligence of some truth or promise which is not real to us in experience, and declaring it to be ours in spite of appearances. We do not appear to be dead unto sin and alive unto God. We are told to believe it, and so we dare to do so and declare so. A thousand times, maybe, faith will be assaulted and fall: unbelief will say ‘nonsense,’ and we shall belie our declaration of faith; but the labor of faith means that we deliberately return to the assault. Once again we believe and declare it. This we persist in doing. As we thus follow in the steps of those who ‘by faith and patience inherit the promises,’ a new divine thing will happen within us. The Spirit will cooperate with our faith (as He is invisibly doing all the time), and to faith will be added assurance. Labor will be replaced by rest. The consummation of faith has been reached.” (Norman Grubb). Part One: Principles of Spiritual Growth, Chapter 15, “Rest,” p 64
