"Entering
into the riches of Christ, by grace through faith"
Quotes
Sometimes it's good
to listen to the voices of our fellow Christians as we journey on together.
Therefore I have assembled so excellent quotes on various subjects,some are
so good I've not classified just listed below.
- The Worth and Excellency of a soul is to be measured by
the object of its love. Henry Scougal - Life of God
(1651 - 1678)
- It's not what we gain, but what we give, That
measures the worth of the life we live. Anonymous,
An inscription in the Bible at Hillcliffe Baptist Church, Warrington, UK.
- God is most glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in
him. John Piper
- We eventually become what we glory in. Gerald Coates - Kingdom Now (page
75).
- As soon as we are incorporated in Christ,
we have the certitude that in the end we shall achieve victory in the fight. John Calvin - Romans6v6.
- I feel that, if I could live a thousand lives,
I would like to live them all for Christ, and I should even then feel that
they were all too little a return for His great love to me. C H Spurgeon
- Sermon,48,274
- The greatest need of the hour is a revived
and joyful Church... Unhappy Christians are, to say the least, a poor recommendation
of the Christian faith. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
- Spiritual Depression page 37
- The New Testament vision, then, is not about
winning a victory but about entering into the victory that Christ has won,
not of gaining the world but of saving the soul.
David F Wells - God in the Wasteland page 172.
- Nothing that has occurred or will occur in heaven or earth or hell
can change the tender mercies of our God. Forever His mercy stands, a
boundless, overwhelming immensity of divine pity and compassion. As
judgement is God's justice confronting moral inequity, so mercy is
the goodness of God confronting human suffering and guilt. Were there
no guilt in the world, no pain and no tears, God would yet be
infinitely merciful; but His mercy might well be hidden in His heart,
unknown to the created universe. No voice would be raised to
celebrate the mercy of which none felt the need. It is human misery
and sin that call forth the divine mercy. A W Tozer
- Knowledge of the Holy
- Knowing God without knowing our own wretchedness engenders
pride. Knowing our own wretchedness without knowing God engenders despair.
Pascal - Pensees no 527
Our Greatest Need
(Charles R Swindoll - The grace awakening page 275)
If our greatest need
had been information
God
would have sent us an educator
If our greatest need
had been technology
God
would have sent us a scientist
If our greatest need
had been money
God
would have sent us an economist
If our greatest need
had been pleasure
God
would have sent us an entertainer
But our greatest
need was forgiveness
so
God sent us a saviour
