“The subordinate end of redemption is the everlasting salvation of God’s elect and their eternal life and happiness; and the ultimate end is the glory of God, of His grace and justice, and all the perfections of His Nature.”  John Gill  (1697-1771)

“For he that examines himself shall always find such store of vices, as he shall be ashamed of them if he consider them well.”  John Calvin  (1509-1564)

“The sight of the Lord Jesus as contemplated by faith calls up within the soul, clusters of ideas of the greatest beauty and sensations of the greatest pleasure.”  George Burrowes  (1811-1894)

When God, by His Word, gives us reason to expect any extraordinary events, it would be a mark of stupidity to be inattentive to the voice of the great Ruler of heaven and earth.  His works and His words reflect light upon one another; and whoso is wise, and will observe their harmony, shall understand the loving-kindness, and see the glory of the Lord.  (George Lawson, 1749-1820)

“He that is conscious of this relationship to Christ considers all things, in life and in death, in the light of it, and evaluating things in that light, is quite sure that the evil of this present time, including death, must be subservient to the attainment of a great good that could not otherwise be realized.”  Herman Hoeksema (1886-1965)

“Everything that can be called good in man, or in the universe, originates in the “I will” of Jehovah.”  Horatius Bonar  (1808-1890)

“To place anything before God is to deny Him, however noble and exalted that thing may be.”  D. Martyn  Lloyd-Jones  (1899-1981)

Christian experience explains a mystery unfathomable to human reason.  It harmonises man’s energy and God’s grace.  There is no straitening, no exclusion, with God.  His promises with one mouth assure a welcome to the the willing heart.  If it cannot move, his Spirit can compel, point, draw it to the Saviour.  Yea, in the desire to turn, has not the Saviour already touched it, and drawn it to himself?  Charles Bridges  (1794-1869)

Our devotion to a tradition is wholesome only when we recognize in that tradition, not the authority of the fathers, but the authority of God’s Word.  (John Murray; 1898-1975)

“Divine grace in the soul can never really die; true faith can never utterly and finally fail.  We are speaking now but of their decay.  A flower may droop, and yet live: a plant may be sickly, and yet not die.  In the lowest stage of spiritual declension, in the feeblest state of grace, there is a life that never dies.  In the midst of all his startings aside, the ebb and the flow, the wandering and the restoring, the believer in Jesus is “kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.”  He cannot utterly fall; he cannot finally be lost.”  Octavius Winslow  (1808-1878)
