We could not be happy if we reached the kingdom of glory with a heart loving sin. The company of saints and angels would give us no pleasure. Our minds would not be in tune for an eternity of holiness. Let these things sink down into your hearts. We must repent as well as believe, if we hope to be saved.

from Expository Thoughts on the Gospels, 1856
Let’s quit fiddling with religion and do something to bring the world to Christ.
– Billy Sunday –
If you are not concerned about your neighbor’s salvation, then I am concerned for yours.
– Ray Comfort –
The proof that your old life is dead, having been “crucified with Christ,” is the amazing ease with which the life of God in you now enables you to obey the voice of Jesus Christ.
– Oswald Chambers –
We know that it is an easy thing for the Holy Spirit to lead men to see their need of a Saviour.
– Robert Jermain Thomas –
A man can die of starvation knowing all about bread, and a man can remain spiritually dead while knowing all the historic facts of Christianity.

from A Man of God
The Bible teaches we are not only saved by grace, but we also live by grace every day of our lives. It is this important aspect of grace that seems to be so little understood or practiced by Christians.
– Jerry Bridges –
from Transforming Grace
We are not “born again” into soft and protected nurseries, but in the open country where we suck strength from the very terror of the tempest. We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
– Dr. JH Jewett –
We should never present Christ to the unbeliever as the cherry on top of an already wonderful life. The unbeliever must see that he has no life, and that all his personal achievements prior to Christ are monuments to his own vanity: made of sand and quickly passing.
– Paul Washer –
