Quotes about Grace

Thank You, Jesus, that through the cross You gave me unconditional access to the throne of God.

Humility is one of the chief and the highest graces; one of the most difficult of attainment; one to which our first and chiefest efforts ought to be directed; one that only comes in power, when the fullness of the Spirit makes us partakers of the indwelling Christ, and He lives within us.

the New Testament never uses the expression 'help' of the grace of God in the soul. We have absolutely no power - God is not to help us, because we are weak: no, He is to give His life and His power in us as entirely impotent. He that discerns this aright will learn to live by faith alone.

Do not be thinking of how little you have to bring God, but of how much He wants to give you.

Stop and think, and take in the wondrous thought that will be both the motivation and the power for an entirely new life: "Christ is in you." If you merely learn to believe this, to give way to it, and to yield yourself to Him, He will do His mighty saving work in you.

It is wonderful how glorious that life of faith becomes for him who is content to have nothing, or feel nothing, in himself, and always to live on the power of his Lord.

We don't have to learn to be holy as a hard lesson at school in order to make God think well of us; we are to learn it at home with the Father to help us. God loves you not because you are clever and not because you are good but because He is your Father. The cross of Christ does not make God love us; it is the outcome and measure of His love for us.

It is not sin, but God's grace showing a man and ever reminding him what a sinner he was, that, will keep him truly humble.

Remember that Christ works in and through you, and provides all that God desires for you and all that you need.

It is pride that made redemption needful; it is from our pride we need above everything to be redeemed.

Jesus Christ is able, by His divine grace, to prevent the power of self from ever asserting itself or gaining the upper hand; Jesus Christ is willing to become the life of the soul; Jesus Christ is willing to teach us so to follow Him, and to have heart and life set upon Him alone, that He shall ever and always be the light of our souls.

May God write the Word in our hearts!
