What They Said

“Let us look at him in the face of Jesus Christ; for He is the express image of his person, and he that hath seen Him hath seen the Father. The knowledge of that gracious character, as interpreted by the cross of Christ, is the true remedy for our disquietness. insufficient acquaintanceship with God lies at the root of our fears and gloom.”

Horatius Bonar

“God has written a volume for the purpose of making himself known; and it is in this revelation of his character that the sinner is to find the rest that he is seeking.”

Horatius Bonar

“Men resent the very idea of God and feel that it means and implies that their liberty is somehow curtailed. They believe that they are fit to be "masters of their fate and captains of their souls," and believing that, they demand the right to manage themselves in their own way and to live their own lives. They refuse to worship and to glorify God. They disown Him and turn their backs upon Him and say that they do not need Him. They renounce His way of life and shake off what they regard as the bondage and serfdom of religion and a life controlled by God.”

Martyn Lloyd-Jones

“Man starts in communion with God and in a state of happiness. It is as a result of his own action, his own sin, that that communion is broken and man's problems begin.”

Martyn Lloyd-Jones

“He has never refused to bear your burdens, He has never fainted under their weight. Come, then, soul! have done with fretful care, and leave all thy concerns in the hand of a gracious God.”

"The more you are near to God in the duties of worship, the more you are in heaven."

“Let our hearts be for God alone, for God alone is enough to satisfy our hearts, to supply all good unto us for ever.”

“Much of our difficulty as seeking Christians stems from our unwillingness to take God as He is and adjust our lives accordingly.  We insist upon trying to modify Him and to bring Him nearer to our own image.”

"The God of contemporary Christianity is only slightly superior to the gods of Greece and Rome, if indeed He is not actually inferior to them in that He is weak and helpless while they at least had power."

"The ultimate test of our spirituality, is the measure of our amazement at the grace of God."

"A right conception of God is basic not only to systematic theology but to practical Christian living as well. It is to worship what the foundation is to the temple; where it is inadequate or out of plumb the whole structure must sooner or later collapse."

“He who counts the stars, and calls them by their names, is in no danger of forgetting His own children. He knows your case as thoroughly as if you were the only creature He ever made, or the only saint He ever loved. Approach Him and be at peace.”

"We speak to God in prayer. God speaks to us in His Word."

"God, you know, is the fountain, ocean, and centre of all delights and joys; " In thy presence is fulness of joy," Psalm 16:11."

"How should finite comprehend infinite?  We shall apprehend Him, but not Comprehend Him."

"God is neither shut up in nor shut out of any place."

"God is incomprehensible, because he is void of any bounds to encompass him."

"God is best known in Christ; the sun is not seen but by the light of the sun."

“The ultimate ground of faith and knowledge is confidence in God.”

“The proximate result of obedience to God is inward conformity to the Divine image”
