What They Said

"Those blessings are sweetest that are won with prayers and worn with thanks."

"Christians find it so; and those blessings are sweetest to them, which they are most thankful for; that are won with prayers, and worn with thanks."

"What a wonder is it, that two natures infinitely distant, should be more intimately united than anything in the world; and yet without any confusion! That the same person should have both a glory and a grief; an infinite joy in the Deity, and an inexpressible sorrow in the humanity! That a God upon a throne should be an infant in a cradle; the thundering Creator be a weeping babe and a suffering man, are such expressions of mighty power, as well as condescending love, that they astonish men upon earth, and angels in heaven."

“If I were to go to heaven, and find that Christ was not there, I would leave immediately; for heaven without Christ would be hell to me.”

"Value God and his love more than all the world, though there were millions of them. He valued you before the world, and therefore is beforehand with you in his love. He not only loved you from everlasting, (whereas your love is but of yesterday,) but in the valuation of it, he loved you before all worlds, and preferred you to all worlds: though you loved the world first, before you loved him."

"There cannot be a true sorrow of heart for a sin that is past, but presently there doth arise a purpose not to sin for the future."

"Moreover, as God respects no person, so He respects no condition upon which He gives salvation to us."

"Oh despise not election!  therein lies all your hope that there is a remnant who shall infallibly be saved"

"Christ's riches are unsearchable, and this doctrine of the gospel is the field this treasure is hidden in."
