The Cross

It’s their nature – Charles Spurgeon

Let the dogs bark, it is their nature too. Go on preaching Christ crucified.

Jesus didn’t die to save us from hell – Leonard Ravenhill

Without holiness, no one shall see the Lord. Jesus didn’t die to save us from hell. That’s a fringe benefit! He died to get total occupation of us … [and to make us] holy in speech … in actions … in everything.

– Leonard Ravenhill –

Discounting the Cross – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

It is not surprising that the cross has been discounted by modern theologians; it is because they have started with the love of God without His holiness.

– Martyn Lloyd-Jones –

The Cross is needful – Samuel Rutherford

– Samuel Rutherford –

A price to pay to follow Jesus – Dennis Curtis
