I am a trespasser, I fly to Him my Advocate; I am a suitor, I fly to Him my Mediator; I am a delinquent, I fly to Him my Sanctuary; I am a sinner, I fly to Him my Saviour.
— Francis Quarles (1592-1644)
The Doctrine of the Trinity
The doctrine of the Trinity! you ask me what that is. It is that doctrine that sheweth us the love of God the Father in giving His Son; the love of God the Son in giving Himself; and the love of the Lord the Spirit in His work of regenerating us, that we may be made able to lay hold of the love of the Father by His Son.
— John Bunyan
God’s Mercies
God knows we have many miseries, so He balances it with His many mercies.
— Nathanael Holmes
Exalt the Lord
I know the Lord is high in state,
Above all gods our Lord is great;
The Lord performs what he decrees,
In heaven and earth, in depths and seas.
He makes the vapors to ascend
In clouds from earth’s remotest end;
The lightnings flash at his command,
He holds the tempest in his hand.
— The Psalter
God’s Power
As holiness is the beauty of all God’s attributes, so power is that which gives life and action to all the perfections of the Divine nature. How vain would be the eternal counsels, if power did not step in to execute them. Without power His mercy would be but feeble pity, His promises an empty sound, His threatenings a mere scarecrow. God’s power is like Himself: infinite, eternal, incomprehensible; it can neither be checked, restrained, nor frustrated by the creature.
— Stephen Charnock
