God's
unchangeableness is the very foundation of desire and hope and activity in
things religious as in things natural. The uniformity of nature's operations
in the one, and the constancy of God's promises in the other, give aim and
certainty to events. - Edward Irving
Don’t
you believe the lies that are being told you that if you become a Christian
you’ll become a slave, limited, narrow, never having any enjoyment of life.
That is a lie right out of the pit. It is completely false. It is daring to
walk out on the promises of God that makes a man free, or makes him able to
discover the fullness of life God has available for us. - Ray C. Stedman
You
must have all confidence in Christ, or you cannot so saved. You must
absolutely believe in Him -- believe all His words of promise. They were
given you to be believed, and unless you believe them they can do you no
good at all. So far from helping you without you exercise faith in them,
they will only aggravate your guilt for unbelief. God would be believed when
He speaks in love to lost sinners. He gave them these “exceeding great and
precious promises, that they, by faith in them, might escape the corruption
that is in the world through lust.” But thousands of professors of religion
know not how to use these promises, and as to them or any profitable use
they make, the promises might as well have been written on the sands of the
sea. - Charles G. Finney
Hearken - As if he had said, Stay, consider, ye that judge thus. Does not
the presumption lie rather in favor of the poor man? Hath not God chosen the
poor - That is, are not they whom God hath chosen, generally speaking, poor
in this world? who yet are rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom -
Consequently, the most honorable of men: and those whom God so highly
honours, ought not ye to honour likewise? - John Wesley
