A sight of God’s glory humbles. The stars vanish when the sun appears.
— Thomas Watson
Signs of Forgiveness
We need not climb into heaven to see whether our sins are forgiven: let us look into our hearts, and see if we can forgive others. If we can, we need not doubt but God has forgiven us.
— Thomas Watson
Election
Let us then ascribe the whole work of grace to the pleasure of God’s will. God did not choose us because we were worthy, but by choosing us He makes us worthy.
— Thomas Watson
Neglect of Prayer
Jesus Christ went more willingly to the cross than we do to the throne of grace.
— Thomas Watson
Eternal Security
When God calls a man, He does not repent of it. God does not, as many friends do, love one day, and hate another; or as princes, who make their subjects favorites, and afterwards throw them into prison. This is the blessedness of a saint; his condition admits of no alteration. God’s call is founded upon His decree, and His decree is immutable. Acts of grace cannot be reversed. God blots out His people’s sins, but not their names.
— Thomas Watson
