“What do you want with me?” I want you, not to be a convert to my opinions, but to be a member of Christ, a child of God, and an heir of his kingdom.
– John Wesley –
We have a strange illusion that mere time cancels sin.

from The Problem of Pain
A man must first love God or have his heart united to him, before he will esteem God’s good his own, and before he will desire the glorifying, and enjoying of God as his happiness.
– Jonathan Edwards –
from A Treatise Concerning Religious Affections
What bliss to be a perfectly pardoned soul! What riches of grace does free forgiveness exhibit! To forgive all, to forgive fully, to forgive freely, to forgive ever! Here is a constellation of wonders; and when I think of how great my sins were, how dear were the precious drops which cleansed me from them, I am in a maze of wondering worshiping affection!
– Charles Spurgeon –
Oh, what a grievous downfall, to plunge from the utmost sense of security, from confidence and delight in God into such an awful terror that man shrinks from the sight of God more than from the sight and presence of the devil!
– Martin Luther –
If a man had to wade breast deep through a thousand hells to obtain Christ–it would be well worth the venture, if at the last he might but say, “My Beloved is mine–and I am His!”
– Charles Spurgeon –
The time is so short, such a little time to rescue souls from hell, for there will be no rescue work in heaven.
– CT Studd –
The truth is, that Christians in general differ very little from either Jews or Heathens. Christianity occupies their heads; but heathenism their hearts. They pretend to have faith: but, as for “the faith that overcomes the world,” they know nothing about it. Their whole life, instead of being occupied in a progressive transformation of the soul after the Divine image, is one continued state of conformity to the world: and, instead of regarding “the friendship of the world” as a decisive proof of their “enmity against God,” they affect it, they seek it, and they glory in it.
