Instead of asking yourself whether you believe or not, ask yourself whether you have, this day, done one thing because He said, Do it! or once abstained because He said, Do not do it! It is simply absurd to say you believe, or even want to believe, in Him, if you do not do anything He tells you.

I am ready to meet God face to face tonight and look into those eyes of infinite holiness, for all my sins are covered by the atoning blood.
– RA Torrey –
Man was so engineered by God that the presence of the Creator within the creature is indispensable to his humanity.
– Ian Thomas –
You may as well quit reading and hearing the Word of God, and give it to the devil, if you do not desire to live according to it.
– Martin Luther –
(I am) resolved, never to do anything which I would be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.

– Charles Spurgeon –
He who would glorify his God must set his account upon meeting with many trials. No man can be illustrious before the Lord unless his conflicts be many. If then, yours be a much-tried path, rejoice in it, because you will the better show forth the all-sufficient grace of God. As for his failing you, never dream of it-hate the thought. The God who has been sufficient until now, should be trusted to the end.
– Charles Spurgeon –
