Quotes about Grace

A weak faith can lay hold on a strong Christ.

It was wonderful love that Christ should rather die for us than for the angels that fell.

The gospel sweetens the law.

The worst that God does to His children is to whip them to heaven.

The mercies of God make a sinner proud, but a saint humble.

If God should show mercy only to such as deserve it, he must show mercy to none.

Our sins should humble us, but they must not discourage us from coming to Christ.

If God spares us as a father does his son, let us imitate God. It is natural for children to imitate their parents. Let us imitate God in this one thing: As God spares us, and passes by many failures, so let us be sparing in our censures of others; let us look upon the weaknesses and indiscretions of our brethren with...a more tender, compassionate eye. How much God bears with us!

If God justify a man, who shall condemn him? But if God condemn him, who shall justify him?

Humility was never a loser.

Love is such a grace as we know not how to be without. A soldier may as well be without his weapons, an artist without his pencil, a musician without his instrument, as a Christian can be without love.
