“’Purge away our sins for Thy Name’s sake,’ i.e. that God’s Name may be glorified as a God who pardons iniquity and sin.”J.J. Stewart Perowne (1823-1904)

“Teach me to do thy will.” We are to pray that God would teach us to know, and then teach us to do, his will. Knowledge without obedience is lame, obedience without knowledge is blind; and we must never hope for acceptance if we offer the blind and the lame to God.” Vincent Alsop (1629-1703)

“Dear brethren: the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is the most excellent and most admirable doctrine that was ever published in the universe…There is no philosophy, or other doctrine, but this, which is able to deliver us from the slavery of devils, and make us children of the Most High.” John Daille (1594-1670)

“Who dares limit the Almighty? He takes his own way with sinners—one by a whisper, another by a hurricane.” John Bunyan (1628-1688)

“This faith in Christ, by which men become partakers of all the acquired benefits of Jesus Christ, is neither an uncertain opinion nor merely a bare confession of the mouth, but a firm and sure confidence of the heart, which doubts not the things promised by God in Christ; but has a firm assurance that He who has promised them is able also to perform them.” The Amsterdam Confession (September, 1627)

“Alas! For us, when the day comes that closes up every avenue to the return of a backsliding soul! That tells us that the Father no longer welcomes home the prodigal; that the blood of Jesus no longer heals a wounded spirit; that the Holy Ghost no longer restores the lost joys of God salvation!” Octavius Winslow (1808-1878)

“In other words, He foreknows everything, because He has arranged everything. Everything is certain in His foreknowledge, because everything is certain in His arrangements.” Horatius Bonar (1808-1890)

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,” that is, that are emptied of themselves, and look upon themselves as having nothing, deserving nothing, able to do nothing spiritually. That is the first link of the chain, and each succeeding link depends upon the former link.” Thomas Goodwin (1600-1679)

“For every one who has the grace of God implanted in his heart, has the Holy Spirit of God in sanctifying influences.” Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758)

“Although at such times we should complain to God, not of God, (the throne of grace being erected for a “time of need,”) yet when the waters of relief run low, and want begins to press, how prone are the best hearts to distrust the fountain!” John Flavel (1628-1691)
