If the Lord Jehovah makes us wait, let us do so with our whole hearts; for blessed are all they that wait for Him. He is worth waiting for. The waiting itself is beneficial to us: it tries faith, exercises patience, trains submission, and endears the blessing when it comes. The Lord’s people have always been a waiting people.
– Charles Spurgeon –
An active faith can give thanks for a promise, though it be not as yet performed, knowing that God’s bonds are as good as ready money [cash].
– Matthew Henry –
Faith is a living and unshakable confidence. A belief in God so assured that a man would die a thousand deaths for its sake.
– Martin Luther –
Faith is lean and ready to starve unless it be fed with continual meditation on the promises.
– Thomas Manton –
1620–1677
Assurance is the fruit that grows out of the root of faith.
– Stephen Charnock –
Perhaps it takes a purer faith to praise God for unrealized blessings than for those we once enjoyed or those we enjoy now.
– AW Tozer –
Do not be lazy. Run each day’s race with all your might, so that at the end you will receive the victory wreath from God. Keep on running even when you have had a fall. The victory wreath is won by him who does not stay down, but always gets up again, grasps the banner of faith and keeps on running in the assurance that Jesus is Victor.
– Basilea Schlink –
Who can add to Christmas? The perfect motive is that God so loved the world. The perfect gift is that He gave His only Son. The only requirement is to believe in Him. The reward of faith is the you shall have everlasting life.
– Corrie ten Boom –
Faith and works are bound up in the same bundle. He that obeys God trusts God; and he that trusts God obeys God. He that is without faith is without works; and he that is without works is without faith.
– Charles Spurgeon –
