“They who are of faith are plainly those who are expecting justification by faith and not of works; who are not working that they may obtain the favor of God as a meritorious reward, but who are believing that ‘God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them.’”  John Brown  (1784-1858)

“The excellency of the Scriptures and the wisdom of their Divine Author are to be seen in what they conceal and keep back, as well as in what they reveal and bring forward.”  (Thomas McCrie; 1772-1835)

“God seems to go quite across and work in a contrary way. When He intends the greatest mercies to His people, He first usually brings them into very low conditions.”  (Jeremiah Burroughs; 1599-1646)

“Nothing in this world can change the deceitful and desperately wicked heart of man and cause it to do service for God.”  (Joseph Caryl  1602-1673)

“When God speaks peace, it is a peace beyond all expression, the peace of God that passes all understanding; it cannot be uttered.”  (William Bridge; 1600-1671)

“The wages that sin bargains with the sinner are life, pleasure and profit; but the wages it pays him with are death, torment, and destruction.  He that would understand the falsehood and deceit of sin, must compare its promises and its payments together.”  (Robert South  1633-1716)

“One of the earmarks of true conversion is adherence to God as all in all regardless of the greatness of the adversity.”  (Author not known; 1946)

Faith accepts the present remission of sins; hope is the expectation of future deliverance.”  (Phillip Melanchthon, 1497-1560)

“Either our characters must become holy, or the whole style and nature of God’s kingdom must be changed.  We must be raised to a state of meetness for heaven, or heaven must be lowered and accommodated to our carnal tastes.  The latter is impossible; God’s kingdom must be holy, and if we would enter into the kingdom, we must be holy too.”  (James Buchanan  1804-1870)

“Love causes believers to take all things that God sends them favorably and in good part.”  (John Albert Bengel  1687-1752)
