from A Man of God
He became not only a man but a curse, a man of sorrows, for us. He was broken that we should not be broken; he was troubled, that we should not be desperately troubled; he became a curse, that we should not be accursed.
– Richard Sibbes –
from The Bruised Reed, 1630
Before conversion, the man made light of Christ, minded his farm, friends, merchandise, more than Christ; now, Christ is to him as his necessary food, his daily bread, the life of his heart, the staff of his life. His great desire is, that Christ may be magnified in him.

from A Sure Guide to Heaven, 1671
The recognition of sin is the beginning of salvation.
– Martin Luther –
It’s Satan’s delight to tell me that once he’s got me, he will keep me. But at that moment I can go back to God. And I know that if I confess my sins, God is faithful and just to forgive me.
– Alan Redpath –
Many mourn for their sins that do not truly repent of them, weep bitterly for them, and yet continue in love and league with them.
