You cannot sin so much as God can forgive. If it comes to a pitched battle between sin and grace, you shall not be so bad as God shall be good. I will prove it to you. You can only sin as a man, but God can forgive as a God. You sin as a finite creature, but the Lord forgives as the infinite Creator.
– Charles Spurgeon –
from the sermon “The Exceeding Riches of His Grace,” on Ephesians 2:7
God has promised forgiveness to your repentance, but He has not promised tomorrow to your procrastination.
– Augustine –
God is more willing to pardon than to punish. Mercy does more multiply in Him than sin in us. Mercy is His nature.
– Thomas Watson –
The church is not a theological classroom. It is a conversion, confession, repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness and sanctification center.
– Paul David Tripp –
Forgive, forget. Bear with the faults of others as you would have them bear with yours. Be patient and understanding. Life is too short to be vengeful or malicious.
– Phillips Brooks –
The voice of sin is loud, but the voice of forgiveness is louder.
– Dwight L. Moody –
“You are no saint,” says the devil. Well, if I am not, I am a sinner, and Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Forgiveness is God’s command.
– Martin Luther –
When God forgives, He at once restores.
– Theodore Epp –
