Grace & Salvation
All the sin that a believer ever did, or can be allowed to commit, cannot destroy his interest in the Lord Jesus Christ, as his advocate.
Do not refuse the Lord Jesus who knocks at your door; for He knocks with a hand which was nailed to the tree for such as you are.
Salvation must be of grace, because the Lord is the author of it: and what motive but grace could move him to save the guilty?
Faith excludes all boasting. The hand which receives charity does not say, ‘I am to be thanked for accepting the gift’; that would be absurd.
Repentance comes not from unwilling nature, but from free and sovereign grace.
To receive all as a free gift preserves the mind from self-righteous pride, and from self-accusing despair. It makes the heart grow warm with grateful love.
Do not refuse Jesus, His love, His blood, His salvation. Why should you do so?
We cannot sum up in one word all the mass of sorrows which met upon the head of Jesus who died for us.
God will spare the sinner because He did not spare His Son.
Thus Jesus is magnified—for all is in him and by him; thus the inheritance is made certain to us—for it is obtained in him.
He who knows most of forgiving love will sing the loudest.
Assuredly the contemplation of the death of Christ is one of the surest and speediest methods of gaining repentance. Do not sit down and try to pump up repentance from the dry well of corrupt nature.
We need fresh supplies of heavenly grace, and in the covenant the Lord has pledged himself to give all we require.
God neither chose them nor called them because they were holy, but he called them that they might be holy.
There is life in a look at the Crucified One, there is life at this moment for thee.
It does at first seem most amazing to an awakened man that salvation should really be for him as a lost and guilty one. He thinks that it must be for him as a penitent man, forgetting that his penitence is a part of his salvation.
Salvation is all of grace, which means, free, gratis, for nothing.
Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.
The word ‘Go’ was exchanged for ‘Come’; distance was made to give place to nearness.
He makes those just who are unjust, forgives those who deserve to be punished.
