“Not only were we unable to bring ourselves into the faith but we cannot continue in it without divine strength.  Because of our proneness to apostatize, the subtlety and strength of our spiritual enemies, the evil of the world in which we live, God’s power alone can keep us. “ (Jude 24).  Arthur W. Pink  (1886-1952)

“But nothing in heaven, or earth, or hell unlocks the arms which cling around a divine Bridegroom.  At each moment He is nearer than the shadow to the side.  Life is leaning on His arm.  Death is sleeping on His breast.  There is a never-failing bond in the sure world.  “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.”  Henry Law (1797-1884)

Wrath is cruel,” but nowhere does it inflict havoc as in the breast within which it rages.”  (Thomas McCrie; 1773-1835)

Our love is not the cause of His, but His is the cause of ours; and it is not merely His loving us, but the shedding it abroad in our hearts by His Spirit, which draws out our love to Him; for though He loved us, yet if He had not some way or other manifested it to us, and overcome our hearts with it, we should still have remained enemies to Him; but His giving us the sense and perception of it in our hearts, is what has drawn us to Himself, and will keep us there.  (John Gill; 1697-1771)

“Those, who have once known the unspeakable enjoyment of communion with a reconciled God, cannot long endure the sensible withdrawment of divine mercy.”  (Morrison, 1762-1809)

The loss of spiritual enjoyment . . . shall be the symptom that betrays the true condition of the soul.  The judgment shall lose none of its light, but the heart much of its fervor; the truths of revelation, especially the doctrines of grace, shall occupy the same prominent position as to their value and beauty, and yet the influence of these truths may be scarcely felt.  (Octavius Winslow; 1808-1878)

“But nothing in heaven, or earth, or hell, unlocks the arms which cling around a divine Bridegroom.  At each moment He is nearer than the shadow to the side.  Life is leaning on His arm.  Death is sleeping on His breast.  There is a never-failing bond in the sure world, “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.”  Henry Law  (1797-1884)

“Except a man be born again, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”  “The only Saviour and the unerring Judge should impress our minds with the conviction that the matter is finally settled and determined by an authority which no power in heaven or on earth can challenge or resist.”  (James Buchanan  1804-1870)

This daily thought is exceedingly long, but it speaks volumes.  The Kayelton Group

“We cannot attain to a comprehension of all the wisdom of God. We cannot see how its several parts cohere with each other, or how they consist with the perfections of Him who designed it and who is conducting it. There is much that, to human view, seems to be at variance with a well-ordered administration. There is much that we cannot account for, much that we cannot understand. There are many things in the management of the world that completely baffle every attempt to unriddle them. We cannot see why they are, nor why God permits them, nor how He can consistently permits them. With our limited understandings and our restricted range of observation, we cannot pretend to fathom the bottomless deep, nor measure what has no bound. We cannot, even by the most prolonged search of the most elaborate investigation, attain to a thorough understanding of God’s infinite designs. But the keenest insight and the most indefatigable application of the human faculties fail to discover the wisdom that rules in all the secrets that resolve all mysteries, harmonizes all strifes, reconciles all contradictions, and reduces this seemingly inextricable confusion to perfect symmetry and order hidden in God’s mind alone.” William Henry Green (1848-1924)

“If anything could be imagined which was to be added in time to the blessedness of the relationship which the Godhead eternally enjoyed, none would have suggested that it was to be sinful depraved fallen man. Truly, the election of God is awe-inspiring.”  (Author not named)
