I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell.
– William Booth –
The idea that God will pardon a rebel who has not given up his rebellion is contrary both to the Scriptures and to common sense.
– AW Tozer –
Without holiness, no one shall see the Lord. Jesus didn’t die to save us from hell. That’s a fringe benefit! He died to get total occupation of us … [and to make us] holy in speech … in actions … in everything.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
The meaning of being a Christian is that in response for the gift of a whole Christ, I give my whole self to Him.
– Alexander MacLaren –
If you have not chosen the Kingdom of God first, it will in the end make no difference what you have chosen instead.
– William Law –
True repentance begins with KNOWLEDGE of sin. It goes on to work SORROW for sin. It leads to CONFESSION of sin before God. It shows itself before a person by a thorough BREAKING OFF from sin. It results in producing a DEEP HATRED for all sin.
– JC Ryle –
That God might be manifested in the Christ, it may even be that sin was permitted. Assuredly, there could have been no sacrifice on Calvary if there had not first of all been sin in Eden. The whole scheme, the whole of God’s decrees and acts, worked up to the consummation of an atoning Savior.
– Charles Spurgeon –
He who died for you can draw your soul away from evil and toward holiness.
– Charles Spurgeon –
The recognition of sin is the beginning of salvation.
– Martin Luther –
