When by the Spirit of God, I understood these words, “The just shall live by faith,” I felt born again like a new man: I entered through the open doors into the very Paradise of God!

Martin Luther

“To him all the prophets bear witness that every one who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”

To say that God justifies the ungodly means quite simply that God in His amazing love treats the sinner as if he were a good man.  Again, to put it very simply, God loves us, not for anything we are, but for what He is.

William Barclay

By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.

Exodus 13:21
The New International Version

When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the little space which I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of space of which I am ignorant, and which knows me not, I am frightened, and am astonished being here rather than there, why now rather than then.

Blaise Pascal

Without Christ life is as the twilight with dark night ahead; with Christ, it is the dawn of morning with the light and warmth of a full day ahead.

Philip Schaff

For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

John 4:44
The Revised Standard Version

A friend who was working in the Dominican Republic with Habitat for Humanity had befriended a small boy named Etin.  He noticed that when Etin wore a shirt at all it was always the same dirty, tattered one.  A box of used clothes had been left at the camp, and my friend found two shirts in it that were in reasonably good shape and about Etin’s size, so he gave them to the grateful boy.  A few days later he saw another boy wearing one of the shirts.  When he next met up with Etin he explained that the shirts were meant for him.  Etin just looked at him and said, “But you gave me two!”

Do you wish to rise?  Begin by descending.  You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds?  Lay first the foundation of humility.

Augustine

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

1 Timothy 6:17-19
The King James Version

Because we cannot see Christ we cannot express our love to Him; but our neighbors we can always see, and we can do to them what, if we saw Him, we would like to do to Christ.

Mother Teresa

To gather with God’s people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.

Martin Luther

He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Galatians 3:5
The King James Version

Jesus is all we have; He is all we need and all we want.  We are shipwrecked on God and stranded on omnipotence!

Jesus is not one of many ways to approach God, nor is He the best of several ways; He is the only way.

A. W. Tozer

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him.

Ephesians 1:7-10
The New King James Version

Peace is seeing a sunrise or a sunset and knowing whom to thank.

He was made what we are, that He might make us what He is Himself.

Irenaeus

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

John 14:26
The Revised Standard Version

A young Scottish preacher lived seven miles up the river from his church.  There came a Sunday when the snowdrifts made the road impassable, and he skated down the river to his church service.  Hauled before the bar of his presbytery for breaking the Sabbath, his defense was that skating was the only way he could get there.  “Young man,” said the moderator, “there is just one question.  Did ye, or did ye not, enjoy the skatin’?”

Anyone who is honestly trying to be a Christian will soon find his intelligence being sharpened: one of the reasons why it needs no special education to be a Christian is that Christianity is an education itself.  That is why an uneducated believer like Bunyan was able to write a book that has astonished the whole world.

C. S. Lewis

“O Lord God,” I cried out; “O great and awesome God who keeps his promises and is so loving and kind to those who love and obey him!  Hear my prayer!”

Nehemiah 1:5
The Living Bible

True greatness is found in simple surrender to God’s plan for our lives.

Follow me; I am the way, the truth, and the life.
Without the way there is no going;
Without the truth there is no knowing;
Without the life there is no living.

Thomas a Kempis

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment.  But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

1 John 4:18
The New King James Version

If you have no joy, there’s a leak in your Christianity somewhere.

The true Christian ideal is not to be happy but to be holy.

A. W. Tozer

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.  But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.  For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

James 1:5-8
The English Standard Version

The Tither’s Surprises
The Christian who begins to tithe will have at least six surprises.  He will be surprised:
At the amount of money he has for the Lord’s work.
At the deepening of his spiritual life in paying the tithe.
At the ease in meeting his own obligations with the nine-tenths.
At the ease of going from one-tenth to a larger giving.
At the prudent disposal afforded to a faithful and wise steward over the nine-tenths that remain.
At himself in not adopting the plan sooner!
