Daily Christian quotes to direct, inspire, encourage, and help ordinary Christians in the rough and tumble of their daily lives!
True faith carries knowledge with it. Faith is not hoodwinked and blind but hath his discerning. By faith we come to understand. Hence the gospel is to be preached to every creature. What is the gospel but the opening of Jesus Christ, His sufficiency and willingness to save sinners? While persons lie in a state of ignorance they cannot come to have a true title to Jesus Christ.
— Bartholomew Ashwood (1622–1680)

Oh, let truths be written on your hearts as with the point of a diamond, never to be razed out. A stony heart is a grievous plague, but an iron memory is a great mercy.
— John Wilkinson (died 1649)
England’s Remembrancer
The fact that Jesus will sit upon the throne of judgment will be the consternation of his enemies and the consolation of his people.
— John Murray (1898 – 1975)
(Helped found Westminster Theological Seminary)
Greater things are expected from [believers] than from other men. See that you turn not all this grace into wantonness. Think not because Christ hath done so much for you, you may sit still, much less indulge yourselves in sin, because Christ offered up such an excellent sacrifice for the expiation of it. No, though Christ came to be a curse, He did not come to be a cloak for your sins.
— John Flavel (1627-1691)
Fountain of Life
Come, thou long expected Jesus,
Born to set thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us;
Let us find our rest in thee.
Israel’s Strength and Consolation,
Hope of all the earth thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
— Charles Wesley (1707-1788)
