“The sense of sin is perhaps as general as the sense of bodily need, but it is not as frequently felt.” (Alfred Plummer, 1841-1926)

“The darkest hours of the Church’s night are those which precede the break of day. Man’s extremity is God’s opportunity. Jesus will come to deliver just when his needy ones shall sigh, as if all hope and gone for ever. O Lord, set the now near at hand at hand, and rise up speedily to our help.” Charles H.Spurgeon (1843-1892)

“If Jesus Christ is truly the Son of God, equal with God, having the same nature with the Father, the only begotten of the Father, then he is fit to be our Lord, the absolute proprietor of our persons, worthy to receive all the homage and service we can possibly offer. The word here rendered Lord has a long history and interesting. It is the word used in the Septuagint to translate the words Jehovah and Adonai; the former denoting the self-existent, independent, eternal and unchangeable I AM; the latter expressing his authority and sovereignty over us.” (William S. Plumer, 1802-1880)

Believer, stay your soul on the rock of the promises. They are as immovable as He who speaks them. At the set moment you shall march in triumph to your Canaan. (Henry Law; 1797-1884)

“He took indeed sin’s form, that He might bear sin’s due: but He never knew sin’s stain.” Henry Law (1797-1884)

“The heart is ever prone to divide its confidence between God and the creature. This will never do. We must ‘wait only upon God.’ ‘He only’ must be our ‘rock,’ our ‘salvation,’ and our ‘defence.’ Then we are frequently tempted to look to an arm of flesh first, and when that fails us, we look to God. This will never do either.” (Charles Mackintosh, 1766-1843)

“Wicked men will sooner believe the most uncertain and ridiculous things, than own the visible demonstrations of God’s power and providence.” (Matthew Poole 1624-1679)

“Grace in Christ, and grace in us, are of the same nature, though not of the same degree: grace in us is as in its streams, but grace in Christ is as in its fountain; it is but a small measure we have ,but it is an infinite, and inexhaustible fullness that is in Him.” (John Gill; 1697-1771)

Our love is not the cause of His, but His is the cause of ours; and it is not merely His loving us, but the shedding it abroad in our hearts by His Spirit, which draws out our love to Him; for though He loved us, yet if He had not some way or other manifested it to us, and overcome our hearts with it, we should still have remained enemies to Him; but His giving us the sense and perception of it in our hearts, is what has drawn us to Himself, and will keep us there. (John Gill; 1697-1771)

“But as soon as ever a believer has Christ’s righteousness imputed to him, he has virtually finished the righteousness of the law. It is evident the saints shall persevere, because they are already justified.” (Jonathan Edwards; 1703-1758)
