There is precious faith which, like the star, shines brightest in the darkest night. It is good that our graces should be brought to a trial; in this way we have the comfort, and the Gospel has the honor.
— Thomas Watson (c. 1620-1686)
Trust and Faith
Trust the past to God’s mercy, the present to God’s love and the future to God’s providence.
— Augustine of Hippo (c. 354-430 A.D.)

Sure of One’s Faith
What a wonderful thing it is to be sure of one’s faith! How wonderful to be a member of the evangelical church, which preaches the free grace of God through Christ as the hope of sinners! If we were to rely on our works, what would become of us?
— George Frideric Handel (1685 – 1759)

True Faith Carries Knowledge
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)

Jesus Did It All
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)
