thinking light grace
The more grace we have, the less we shall think of ourselves, for grace, like light, reveals our impurity.
moving grace firsts
True belief and true repentance are twins: it would be idle to attempt to say which is born first. All the spokes of a wheel move at once when the wheel moves, and so all the graces commence action when regeneration is wrought by the Holy Ghost. Repentance, however, there must be.
christian grace holiness
The sovereign electing grace of God chooses us to repentance, to faith, and afterwards to holiness of living, to Christian service, to zeal, and to devotion.
mean grace salvation
Salvation is all grace, which means, free, gratis, for nothing.
men grace lasts
From the Word of God I gather that damnation is all of man, from top to bottom, and salvation is all of grace, from first to last. He that perishes chooses to perish; but he that is saved is saved because God has chosen to save him.
humble men grace
The higher a man is in grace, the lower he will be in his own esteem.
heart grace doe
Hell itself does not contain greater monsters of iniquity than you and I might become. Within the magazine of our hearts there is power enough to destroy us in an instant, if omnipotent grace did not prevent
lying grace return
I do not come into this pulpit hoping that perhaps somebody will of his own free will return to Christ. My hope lies in another quarter. I hope that my Master will lay hold of some of them and say, "You are mine, and you shall be mine. I claim you for myself." My hope arises from the freeness of grace, and not from the freedom of the will.
giving people grace
If the people do not like the doctrine of grace, give them all the more of it.
self grace trials
When our troubles are many we are often by grace made courageous in serving our God; we feel that we have nothing to live for in this world, and we are driven, by hope of the world to come, to exhibit zeal, self-denial, and industry.
heart men grace
Conversion is not, as some suppose, a violent opening of the heart by grace, in which will, reason and judgment are all ignored or crushed. The season is not blinded, but enlightened; and the whole man is made to act with a glorious liberty which it never knew till it fell under the restraints of grace.
grace sovereign sin
Sin is sovereign till sovereign grace dethrones it.
men grace feels
We hold that man is never so near grace as when he begins to feel he can do nothing at all.
swim grace glory
I am throwing all my good works overboard, and lashing myself to the plank of free grace; for I hope to swim to glory on it.
