God is undoubtedly ready to pardon whenever the sinner turns. Therefore, he does not will his death, in so far as he wills repentance. But experience shows that this will, for the repentance of those whom he invites to himself, is not such as to make him touch all their hearts. Still, it cannot be said that he acts deceitfully; for though the external word only renders, those who hear it, and do not obey it, inexcusable, it is still truly regarded as an evidence of the grace by which he reconciles men to himself.

Can true repentance exist without faith? By no means. But although they cannot be separated, they ought to be distinguished.

For there is no one so great or mighty that he can avoid the misery that will rise up against him when he resists and strives against God.

The glory of God shines, indeed, in all creatures on high and below, but never more brightly than in the cross.

The human heart is a factory of idols...Everyon e of us is, from his mother's womb, expert in inventing idols.

The marks of Jesus are imprisonment, chains, scourgings, blows and stoning in bearing testimony to the Gospel. Galatians 6:17 - 17 Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
