“So, after your times of sweetest fellowship with God, after the happiest enjoyment of gospel ordinances. After the sealing of the Spirit within your hearts, you must expect to be tempted of the devil. You must not suppose that, in your Christian life, all will be sweetness, — that all will be spiritual witness-bearing.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Spurgeon's Verse Exposition Of Matthew: The Expansive Commentary Collection

“We humans can work hard for each other, and we should and we must work. But it is God, and only God, who heals.”
― David Wilkerson, The Cross and the Switchblade

“The name Jesus means “Savior.” It is the same name as Joshua in the Old Testament. It is given to our Lord because He will save His people from their sins. This is His special office. He saves them from the guilt of sin by washing them in His own atoning blood. He saves them from the dominion of sin by putting in their hearts the sanctifying Spirit. He saves them from the presence of sin when He takes them out of this world to rest with Him forever. He will save them from all the consequences of sin when He shall give them a glorious body at the last day.”
― J.C. Ryle, Expository Thoughts on the Gospel of Matthew: A Commentary

“God is not short of men to save. If some of you will not have him, do not think that he shall have to come a-begging to you. There are others who will have him, and his rich sovereign grace will find them out.”
