“Therefore, on seeing your failures, you should say, I am nothing but a failure; but God is dealing with me on another principle altogether than my works, good or bad–a principle not involving my works, but based only on the work of Christ for me.”  (William R. Newell; 1865-1956)

“Particular truths can be fully understood, and the power of certain promises can be adequately felt, only by our being brought into situations where the soul is made to feel the need of those truths and those promises.” George Burrowes  (1600-1646)

“It is not so much external performances that make the difference between men, as their inward temper.”  Robert Leighton  (1611-1684)

“There is nothing of more importance, whether for the individual believer or for the Church collectively, than a firm conviction, such as the Book of Joshua emphatically supplies, that long delays on God’s part involve no forgetfulness of His promises, but that whenever the destined moment comes ‘no good thing will fail of all that He hath spoken.’”  William Garden Blaikie  (1820-1899)

“He can do all that ever you need, without any means or instruments.  His bare word is sufficient, all-sufficient, for it, whatever it be, how great, how difficult, how impossible soever it seems.  Such a power there is even in the word of the great King.  There needs no more to deliver you, to deliver his people anywhere, how deep soever plunged, but only the command of him that sits on the throne.”  (David Clarkson)

“But if Christ died for the sins of all men, and the punishment of their sins is inflicted on Him, and borne by Him, and yet multitudes of them are everlastingly punished for them, where is the justice of God”?  John Gill  (1697-1771)

“If Christ is precious to us, we shall be distressed that we are not more conformed to His blessed image and Holy will.”  (John Fawcett  1740-1817)

“Even the ‘light’ which angels and glorified spirits enjoy in heaven would be insufficient to banish all fear and fill them with satisfaction, were it not for their confidence in the ‘truth’ of God.  How much more, then, must this be the case with erring, sinful mortals on earth?  When the humble spirit is bowed down under a sense of its utter unworthiness and innumerable weaknesses and defilements, its negligences, follies, and wanderings, what should save from despair but the confidence that he who has been merciful will also be faithful; that God is truth as well as light; that he hath said ‘I will never leave thee nor forsake thee;’ that he ‘cannot lie,’ and that, therefore, ‘his mercy endureth for ever’”?  (Henry March)

“The truth of God” as His attribute, is not capable of increase, but it may abound more unto His glory by being more fully manifested in the contrast with man’s sin.”  Edwin Hamilton Gifford  (1820-1905)

“Christ hath satisfied God’s justice so that on Christ was laid all the sins of all believers.  He was ‘wounded’ for them.  Now God cannot in justice punish twice; therefore seeing Christ was wounded, believers must be healed.”  (Nathanael Homes; 1599–1678)
