Faith & Trust
When we serve our Lord Jesus as believers should do, our God is with us; and though we have the whole world against us, if we have God with us, what does it matter?
Had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there.
No lawful place, or gracious occupation, however mean, can debar us from communion with our divine Lord.
If you, my reader, will not believe till you can understand all mysteries, you will never be saved at all; and if you allow self-invented difficulties to keep you from accepting pardon through your Lord and Saviour, you will perish in a condemnation which will be richly deserved.
See then, dear friend, that the weakness of your faith will not destroy you. A trembling hand may receive a golden gift. The Lord’s salvation can come to us though we have only faith as a grain of mustard seed. The power lies in the grace of God, and not in our faith.
God abideth faithful. He is faithful in His love; He knows no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
If I neglect prayer for never so short a time, I lose all the spirituality to which I had attained.
It is glorious to be far out on the ocean of divine love, believing in God, and steering for Heaven straight away by the direction of the Word of God.
Unerring wisdom ordained your lot, and selected for you the safest and best condition.
The shortest way to believe is to believe.
Our various experiences are meant by our heavenly Father to furnish fresh standpoints from which we may view the loveliness of Jesus.
It is not sitting, but sitting at Jesus’ feet which is commendable.
The more burdens we put on his shoulders, the more precious will he be to us.
True religion is supernatural at its beginning, supernatural in its continuance, and supernatural in its close. It is the work of God from first to last.
If the Righteous One be my advocate, then my cause is good, or he would not have espoused it.
In matters of grace you need a daily supply. You have no store of strength. Day by day must you seek help from above.
Do not rest, O believer, till thou hast a full assurance of thine interest in Jesus.
Faith is the tongue that begs pardon, the hand which receives it, and the eye which sees it.
It is not great faith, but true faith, that saves; and the salvation lies not in the faith, but in the Christ in whom faith trusts.
Why then do we calculate our forces, and consult with flesh and blood to our grievous wounding?
