Those who confine God's love exclusively to the elect appear to me to take a narrow and contracted view of God's character and attributes....I have long come to the conclusion that men may be more systematic in their statements than the Bible, and may be led into grave error by idolatrous veneration of a system.

The love of Christ to sinners is the very essence and marrow of the Gospel.

We can never hear too much about Jesus Christ.

If the Bible is not the Word of God and inspired, the whole of Christendom for 1800 years has been under an immense delusion - half the human race has been cheated and deceived, and churches are monuments of folly. If the Bible is the Word of God and inspired, all who refuse to believe it are in fearful danger; they are living on the brink of eternal misery. No man, in his sober senses, can fail to see that the whole subject demands most serious attention.

We can depend upon it that people will never come to Jesus and stay with Jesus and live for Jesus unless they really know why they are to come and what their need is.

nothing will ever allow them to find rest except submission to the old doctrines of man's ruin and Christ's redemption — and simple childlike faith in Jesus.

The world we live in would have fallen upon our heads, had it not been upheld by the pillar of the cross; had Christ not stepped in and promised a satisfaction for the sin of man. By this all things consist — not a blessing we enjoy but may remind us of it; they were all forfeited by sin, but merited by His blood. If we study it well, we shall be sensible how God hated sin and loved a world." — Charnock.

Christ has suffered for sin, the just for the unjust. God can now be just, and yet the justifier of the ungodly. It tells us that there is now a complete remedy for the guilt of sin, even the precious blood of Christ; and peace, and rest of conscience for all who believe on Christ, "Whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish, but have eternal life".

Yes: I repeat it this day. I know no effectual remedy for the love of self, but a believing apprehension of the love of Christ.

For love of country they accepted death.

Death was not God's choice; it was man's. Death is unnatural, a punishment for sin. But God countered man's choice with another perfect plan—He redeemed us in Christ so we could live forever with Him.

Live from the abundant place that you are loved, and you won't find yourself begging others for scraps of love.
