Quotes about Christianity

The reason is simply this—they have never learned to believe and accept the truth that the Holy Spirit can pour God's love into their heart. That blessed text has often been limited!—"The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts" (Romans 5:5).

Christians should yield themselves wholly to the glorious God who has redeemed them, to delight in serving Him in whose fellowship heaven has already begun.

The fourth truth of the gospel is that Christ's followers are to be His witnesses, ever testifying of His wonderful love, of His power to redeem, of His continual abiding presence, and of His wonderful power to work in us.
