That sorrow for sin that keeps the soul from looking towards the mercy seat is a sinful sorrow.
Thomas BrooksOur sins are debts that none can pay but Christ. It is not our tears, but His blood; it is not our sighs, but His sufferings, that can testify for our sins. Christ must pay all, or we are prisoners forever.
Thomas BrooksGrace and glory differ very little; the one is the seed, the other is the flower; grace is glory militant, glory is grace triumphant.
Thomas BrooksHe who lives up to a little light shall have more light; he who lives up to a little knowledge shall have more knowledge; he who lives up to a little faith shall have more faith, and he who lives up to a little love shall have more love. Verily the main reason why men are such babes and shrubs in grace is because they do not live up their attainments.
