Nature never makes any blunders, when she makes a fool she means it.

No one was ever saved because his sins were small; no one was ever rejected on account of the greatness of his sins. Where sin abounded, grace shall much more abound.

Men are more accountable for their motives, than for anything else; and primarily, morality consists in the motives, that is in the affections.

God has set before you an open door which no man has a right or power to shut. If you should be shut out, it will be by your own unbelief, and not for want of a warrant to come. Enter, then, without delay or hesitation. None can less afford to delay than the aged sinner. Now is the time. Now or never. You have, as it were, one foot already in the grave. Your opportunities will soon be over. Strive, then, I entreat you, to enter in at the strait gate.

All my theology is reduced to this narrow compass - "Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners."

If you were not a sinful, polluted, helpless, and miserable creature, this Savior would not be suited to you, and you would not be comprehended in his gracious invitations to the children of men.

God is not glorified in any transaction upon earth so much as in the conversion of a sinner.
