Daily Christian quotes to direct, inspire, encourage, and help ordinary Christians in the rough and tumble of their daily lives!
To those who are elect and have the Spirit, predestination is the very sweetest of all doctrines, but to the worldly-wise it is the bitterest and hardest of all. The reason God saves in this way is to show that he saves not by our merits but by election pure and simple, and by his unchanging will. We are saved by his unchanging love.
— Martin Luther (1483–1546)
Thanksgiving is not a natural virtue; it is a fruit of the Spirit, given by him.
— Jerry Bridges (1929 – 2016)
Our faith itself, though it be the bond of our union with Christ through which we receive all His blessings, is not our savior. We have but one Savior; and that one Savior is Jesus Christ our Lord. Nothing that we are and nothing that we can do enters in the slightest measure into the ground of our acceptance with God. Jesus did it all.
— Benjamin B. Warfield (1851 – 1921)

God loves a thankful Christian! Job thanked God when He took all away: “The Lord has taken away — blessed be the name of the Lord!” Job 1:21. Many will thank God when He gives; Job thanks Him when He takes away, because he knew that God would work good out of it.
— Thomas Watson (1620-1686)
Prayer as it comes from the saint is weak and languid; but when the arrow of a saint’s prayer is put into the bow of Christ’s intercession — it pierces the throne of grace!
— Thomas Watson (c. 1620-1686)
