A Passion For Faith & Grace

"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
