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)
He that loves not God for Himself – that is, for what He is in Himself and what from Himself alone He is and will be to us in Christ (which considerations are inseparable) – hath no true affection for any spiritual thing whatever.
John Owen (1616 – 1683)
from “Golden Book”
O the height, the depth, the length and breadth of this love, that brought the King of glory from his throne, to die for such rebels as we are.
— George Whitefield (1714-1770)
God does not love us because we are valuable, but we are valuable because God loves us.
— Martin Luther (1483-1546)
“We love Him because He first loved us.” Love is like an echo, it returneth what it receiveth.
— Thomas Manton (1620-1677)
