Possibilitas tua mensura tua'(What is possible to you is what you will be measured by).
Richard SibbesThe tenets of [the Christian life] seem paradoxes to carnal men; as first, that a Christian is the only freeman, and other men are slaves; that he is the only rich man, though never so poor in the world; that he is the only beautiful man, though outwardly never so deformed; that he is the only happy man in the midst of all his miseries.
Richard SibbesThe life of a Christian should be a meditation how to unloose his affection from inferior things. He will easily die that is dead before in affection.
Richard SibbesWhat is the gospel itself but a merciful moderation, in which Christ's obedience is esteemed ours, and our sins laid upon him, wherein God, from being a judge, becomes our Father, pardoning our sins and accepting our obedience, though feeble and blemished? We are now brought to heaven under the covenant of grace by a way of love and mercy.
