Quotes on Gospel
The moral law requires obedience, but gives no strength (as Pharaoh required brick, but gave no straw), but the gospel gives strength; it bestows faith on the elect; it sweetens the law; it makes us serve God with delight.The Ten Commandments, 44
Grace is God's giving us a sovereign joy in God that triumphs over the joy in sin.
Christianity exists only when the preaching of the cross is its message.
This I urge against Antinomians, who say the moral law is abrogated to believers; which, as it contradicts Scripture, so it is a key to open the door to all licentiousness. They who will not have the law to rule them, shall never have the gospel to save them.The Ten Commandments, 44

Quotes on Ten Commandments
If men will not be governed by the Ten Commandments, they shall be governed by ten thousand commandments.
if one accepts some terms of the Decalogue as normative for Christians, one must accept all. This document must be received as a package, beginning with the preamble and ending with the command against coveting. The principles are cast as absolute and unconditional commands, without qualification, and for the most part without declared motivation.
The words of the Decalogue... remain permanently with us, receiving by means of his advent in the flesh, extension and increase, but not abrogation.Against Heresies
The laws of the Bible, outside the Ten Commandments, are case laws, and I have been arguing that largely, the Reformed faith has viewed it as the duty of the Christian ruler to extend the equity of these cases to cover whatever details they find in their own society.Mission of God, 343

Quotes on Death
To the extent that our souls are empty of faith, they are filled with fear. We read of people who have died by no other cause than their fear. But we never read of anyone, once brought to life by faith, dying because of fear.Triumphing over Sinful Fear, 35
I know well that many do not believe what I am saying, because they think there is an immense quantity of death-bed repentance. They flatter themselves that multitudes who do not live religious lives will yet die religious deaths. They take comfort in the thought that vast numbers of persons turn to God in their last illness and are saved in the eleventh hour. I will only remind such persons that all the experience of ministers is utterly against the theory. People generally die just as they have lived. True repentance is never too late:- but repentance deferred to the last hours of life is seldom true.Old Paths, 40
Let us be firmly persuaded of the reality of this wrath to come- Let us adore and fear the greatness of God, and be moved to turn to Him- Let us consider what it is to die, and what the state of the other world is- Let believers learn highly to value that salvation which Christ obtains for them.
The hypocrite deceives others while he lives, but deceives himself when he dies.https://www.challies.com/a-la-carte/a-la-carte-may-9-2024/

Quotes on Faith
Faith goes up the stairs that love has built and looks out the windows which hope has opened.
If God then withdraws Himself, if in the soul of men He bear no more witness to the truth of His Word, men can no longer believe, and no apologetics, however brilliant, will ever be able to restore the blessing of faith in the ScripturePrinciples of Sacred Theology, 366
Our faith in God is not just a philosophical belief in a supreme being; it is a life-changing experience of the one who has made us what we are.God is Love
Fear consults with flesh and blood, while faith engages with God to supply strength to endure the siege.Triumphing over Sinful Fear, 53

a man may as well doubt whether there be a sun when he sees his beams gliding the earth as doubt whether there be a God when he sees his works spread in the worldAttributes, Discourse 1
Therefore, the hope of justification must not be placed in them, but in faith alone: we account a man to be justified by faith, without the works of the law (Rom 3:28).Commentary on 1 Timothy
The difficulty of passages does not imply a manifold intention of God, but some ambiguity in the words or weakness of our intellect.
Don't be so polite as to deny the deity of Christ; though you may be counted fools in the eye of the world, yet in God's account, you shall be esteemed wise, wise for salvation.
is it not a folly for an atheist to deny that which is the reason and common sentiment of the whole world, to strip himself of humanity, run counter to his own conscience, prefer a private before a universal judgment, give the lie to his own nature and reason, assert things impossible to be proved, nay, impossible to be acted, forge irrationalities for the support of his fancy against the common persuasion of the world, against himself, and against so much of God as is manifest in him and every man (Rom. 1:19)?
When you hear men calling upon God in a time of affrighting thunder, you cannot imagine that the fear of thunder did first introduce the notion of a God, but it implies that it was before apprehended by them or stamped upon them.On God\'s Existence
He who desires to be in an assured state, to have continual fellowship with God, to attain to a higher level of illumination & experience, and to fear God steadfastly, let him strictly observe his devotional time and let him not be neglectful in this.
It is a sin in many Christians that they know not when to be silent. This is a great part of Christian prudence, to understand when to keep silence. It is much harder to learn to be silent than to learn to speak.Works 2:289
Shall a silly passenger, that understands not the use of a compass, be angry that the skillfull pilot will not steer the vessel according to his pleasure?
A finger cut off from the hand is not only cut off from the hand but from the head too. So, if men fall off from the members, they will also fall off from Christ the head.Works 2
Whosoever, therefore, in years of discretion, brings not forth good works after he is called, cannot be saved; neither was he ever predestinated to life eternal.The Practice of Piety
Remember, that as loathing of meat, and painfulness of speaking, are two sympthoms of a sick body; so irksomeness of praying when thou talkest with God, and carelessness in hearing [Him in His Word]… are two sure signs of a sick soul.The Practice of Piety
God punishes hypocrites with apostasy.
Do not give way to any sin, thinking to recover yourselves, but fear that God will leave you to run into worse.
The Christian is not to pray for an immunity from all temporal sufferings. There is no foundation
for such a prayer in the promise, and what God thinks not fit to promise, we must not be bold to ask.
God had one Son without sin, but none in this life without suffering.
Those people can never be ruined who thrive by their losses; conquer by being conquered; multiply by being diminished.
