“Now if I cover the person, I cover scabs and sores, and ulcers, and all blemishes.  Hence God, by putting this righteousness upon us, is said to hide and cover our sins.  Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.”  John Bunyan (1628-1688)

“THE LORD JESUS CAME NOT TO CALL THE RIGHTEOUS, but sinners to repentance.  True repentance, accordingly, forms a part of the religion, not of an innocent person, but of a sinner.  It is produced by the Spirit of Christ in the regeneration and sanctification of a sinner, and is absolutely essential to the character of a true Christian.”  John Colquhoun  (1748-1827)

“The bridegroom brings his dowry.  And does not Christ enrich with gifts?  Angels may marvel, dazzled by the Church’s wealth.  He holds back nothing from her.  All His attributes are her grand inheritance.  His wisdom is hers to guide.  His power is hers to uphold.  His love is as the sun to cheer.  His faithfulness and truth are her shield and buckler.  His Spirit is poured down in unfailing measure to teach, to solace, and to bless her.  His righteousness is hers, to be her spotless robe.  His heavens are hers to be her home.  His throne is hers, to be her seat.  His glory is hers, to be her crown.  His eternity is hers, that she may joy for ever.  Happy the soul, which responds, All this I steadfastly believe!”  Henry Law  (1797-1884)

For to deny a man’s self, is to know he hath no power in himself to do any spiritual duty.  (Thomas Hooker; 1586-1647)

“In a word, the end of Christ’s redeeming His people is, that they might be freed from all evil, from every enemy, and all that is hurtful; sin, Satan, the world, law, and hell, and death; and that they might be put into the possession of every good thing.”  John Gill  (1697-1771)

“Nothing is so tranquillising and so stabilizing as the assurance that the Lord Himself is on the Throne of the universe, “working all things after the counsel of His own will  Arthur W. Pink  (1886-1952)

“Whatever our knowledge of the word of God, certain it is that our hearts will never burn within us, till Jesus himself open to us the Scriptures.  None other can expound to us in all this Song the things concerning himself.”  “Song Of Solomon  George Burrowes  (1811-1895)

“Although God should tarry for us a hundred thousand years, if we could continue so long in the world, yet it is certain that we should never come unto Him, nor do anything else than increase the mischief continually to our own condemnation.”  John Calvin  (1509-1564)

We must learn to draw a distinction between being tempted and sinning.  Thoughts will come to you and the devil may try to press you to think that because thoughts have entered your mind you have sinned.  Temptation, in and of itself, is not sin.  (D. Martin Lloyd-Jones; 1899-1981)

“Christ, the Lord of life and of death, is my Lord forever; to Him I belong with body and soul.  And that is my all sufficient and only comfort in life and in death.”  Herman Hoeksema (1886-1965)
