“What do the Scriptures speak but Christ’s love and tender care over those that are humbled?”
― Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed

“When we would consider the love of God in Christ, we are as one approaching the ocean: he casts a glance on the surface, but the depths he cannot sound.” — R. C. C.”
― Alexander Strauch, Agape Leadership: Lessons in Spiritual Leadership from the Life of R.C. Chapman

“He sees by faith an unseen Savior, who . . .
loved him,
gave Himself for him,
paid his debts for him,
bore his sins, carried his transgressions,
rose again for him, and
appears in Heaven for him as his Advocate at the right hand of God.

He sees Jesus — and clings to Him. Seeing this Savior and trusting in Him — he feels peace and hope and willingly does battle against the foes of his soul.

He sees . . .
his own many sins,
his own weak heart,
a tempting world,
a busy devil —
and if he looked only at them, he might well despair. BUT he sees also a mighty Savior, an interceding Savior, a sympathizing Savior — His blood, His righteousness, His everlasting priesthood — and he believes that all this is his own. He sees Jesus — and casts his whole weight on Him. Seeing Him, he cheerfully fights on, with a full confidence that he will prove more than conqueror through Him that loved him (Romans 8:37).”
― J C Ryle, The Gospel of John

“The Bible is authoritative on everything of which it speaks.
Moreover, it speaks of everything.”
― Cornelius Van Til
