“The decrees of God may be defined as that just, wise, and holy purpose or plan by which eternally, and within himself, he determines all things whatsoever that come to pass.”  James Petigru Boyce  (1827-1888)

“As all genuine ministers of the Gospel are Separated by God to their good work, they ought to bestir themselves in it, be instant in season and out of season, and give themselves wholly to it.  Acts 6:4; 1 Tim. 4:15; 2 Tim. 2:4.”  William S.Plumer  (1802-1880)

“If we entertain a just reverence for the Word of God, let us never mingle the truths of it with our own false conceptions, nor imagine that it can fail to be accomplished, because it would be unreasonable to think that it will be accomplished according to our own views of its meaning.”  George Lawson  (1749-1820)

“God has not left us to our own resources in the study of His Word.  There is the never-failing promise and the ever-present ministry of the Holy Spirit.”  Jonh Murray  (1898-1975)

What, have you had so many experiences of your deceitful heart, and yet are so foolish as still to trust it (Proverbs 28:26)?  Ralph Venning  (1620-1673)

“Would that the Lord’s servants were as energetic in his work as sinners are in furthering the ends of their master!  Almost as soon as Satan became an apostate, he became a tempter.  And most successfully does he train his servants in this work.”  Charles Bridges  (1821-1898)

“Grace stands for the whole sum of the unmerited blessings which come to men through Jesus Christ.  It means the unconditioned, undeserved, spontaneous, eternal, stooping, pardoning love of God, and thus it describes a disposition in the Divine nature.”  William Graham Scroggie  (1877-1958)

“Nothing that a man does in this life is without its consequences.  Every effect has a cause, and every cause produces an effect.  So many of our troubles arise from the fact that we forget that causes lead to effects, and that these effects in turn lead to certain inevitable consequences.”  D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones  (1899-1981)

“Jehovah is executing his purposes even through the wickedness of men and devils: and all things that have taken place from the creation must minister to his glory.”  Alexander Carson  (1776-1844)

“The objects of election and redemption are the same;  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect?—It is Christ that died!  Died for  the elect!  So the same us all, for whom God delivered up His Son, are those whom He foreknew, and whom he predestinated; and whose calling, justification, and glorification are secured thereby, Rom. 8:30-33; and the same us, who are said to be chosen in Christ, before the foundation of the world, who have redemption in Him through His blood, Eph. 1:4,7.  Election and redemption are of equal extent; no more are redeemed by Christ than are chosen in Him; and these are a special people.”  John Gill (1697-1771)
