“The truth is just this, that God’s will is the law of the universe, that His glory is the object and end both in creation and in redemption, His everlasting purpose, the mighty and all-perfect mold in which all things are cast and from which they take their shape and fashion from first to last.” Horatius Bonar   (1808-1890)

“It is a prayer not proceeding from a doubting and wavering heart, as if God did at sometimes deliver his church, and at others fail and leave her to the will of her enemies; but grounded upon certain knowledge and infallible assurance that he will “arise, and not keep silence,” and avenge himself of his enemy.” Anthony Farindon (1598-1658)

“A view of the divine glory crucifies our lusts, and puts the corruptions of our heart to death.” John Angell James (1785-1859)

“And the Holy Scripture calls God’s election the Book of Life. As I said before, Jesus Christ serves for a Register: it is He in whom we are engraved, and in whom God acknowledges us for His children. Seeing then that God had an eye unto us in the person of Jesus Christ, it follows that He finds nothing in us which we might lay before Him to cause Him to elect us.” John Calvin (1509-1564)

“Our justification is by faith alone: works form no part of that righteousness in which we can stand before the tribunal of God.” Charles Hodge (1797-1878)

“The smoke and the fragrance ascend to heaven. All is accepted—Christ first, then each of His people. He passed through suffering, fire and flame—then was accepted. They being reckoned one with Him, are treated as if they had done so too. Whatever sufferings are left to them are not atoning, but only sanctifying.” A.A. Bonar (1714-1773)

“The unborn Baptist could not restrain emotion, when the unborn Jesus was brought near.” Henry Law (1797-1884)

“To say that man could grow holy and spotless, that he could secure God’s grace, and attain to salvation by an act of his own free will, was teaching that attracted, as it still does attract, thousands.” Warburton (1698-1779)

“It is the great work of faith to cry out after God, at a distance, when you are afraid lest at the next turn he should be quite out of sight.” John Owen (1616-1683)

“’his faith is counted for righteousness.’  We see here the nature of the faith that is counted for righteousness; it is the faith of one who regards himself as “ungodly,” and unable to justify himself by his own works, but on the other hand has full trust in God’s mercy to justify him ,unworthy as he is.” Edwin Hamilton Gifford   (1820-1905)
