The conversion and salvation of sinners is owing entirely to the sovereign mercy of God! It is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs — because sinners always will wrong, and always run wrong.
— Asahel Nettleton
God’s Love
When God converts and saves a sinner, it is a wonderful and unspeakable manifestation of divine love. When a poor lost soul is brought home to Christ, and has all his sins forgiven him, and is made a child of God, it will take up a whole eternity to express and declare the greatness of that love.
— Jonathan Edwards
God’s Works of Providence
My soul, bless the Lord! the Lord is most great, With glory arrayed, majestic his state; The light is his garment, the skies are his shade, And over the waters his courts he has laid.
— From Psalm 104 (The Psalter)
God the Father
The titles are God are virtually promises, when He is called a sun, a shield, a strong tower, a hiding place, a portion. The titles of Christ: light of the world; bread of life; the way, the truth, and life; the titles of the Spirit; the Spirit of truth, of holiness, of glory, of grace, of supplication, the sealing, witnessing Spirit – faith may conclude as much out of these as out of promises.
— David Clarkson
God’s Will or Our Own Will?
It is but a crafty pretense when one part of the law is pleaded to excuse obedience to another; for when we pick and choose, we do not fulfill God’s will, but our own.
— Thomas Manton
