Thomas Guthrie on how Grace Works in the Sinner

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Wednesday, July 6, 2016 at 5:30 AM

“Even so it is in that change which grace works in sinners. The nature of the redeemed is so accommodated to the state of redemption, their wishes are so fitted to their wants, their hopes to their prospects, their aspirations to their honors, and their will to their work, that they would be less content to return to polluted pleasures than this beautiful creature to be stripped of its silken wings, and condemned to pass its days amid the old, foul garbage, its former food.”

George Swinnock on the Misery of Sinners

"The misery of the sinner consists in the fact that they will depart from the incomparable God for eternity.  "Depart from me, ye that work iniquity" (Matt. 7:23).  "Depart from me, ye cursed" (Matt. 24:41).  What a dreadful sound will the word "depart" make in sinners' ears!  What a deep wound will it make in their hearts."

"Any man who disturbs the false peace of sinners, must expect to be ill-treated, and reproached and defamed.”
