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)

“Pre-eminently He was the Lamb of God, and He was sacrificed for us. Let us reckon ourselves judged in Him. The Judgment which has befallen Him has settled the great question of sin.

“Those who are ordained unto eternal life were not so ordained on account of any worthiness foreseen in them, or of any good works to be wrought by them, nor yet for their future faith, but purely and solely of free, sovereign grace, and according to the mere pleasure of God.” (Jerome Zanchius; 1516-1590)

“What is said on the spur of the moment is sometimes better evidence of a man’s disposition than what he says deliberately, for the latter may be calculated hypocrisy.” (Alfred Plummer; 1841-1926)

“Grace flows unrestrained and unreserved upon those who have no goodness to plead and no claim to advance.” (Arthur W. Pink; 1886-1952)

“The fall of our first parents did not begin with the overt act of disobedience; it was preceded by a process of defection that culminated in it.” (John Murray; 1898-1975)
