A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough today to last him for the next 6 months, nor can he inhale sufficient air into his lungs with one breath to sustain life for a week to come. We are permitted to draw upon God's store of grace from day to day as we need it. Author: D.L. Moody |
The law tells me how crooked I am. Grace comes along and straightens me out. Author: D.L. Moody |
The law orders; grace supplies the power of acting. Author: Augustine |
The sufficiency of my merit is to know that my merit is not sufficient. Author: Augustine |
Thou didst seek us when we sought Thee not; didst seek us indeed that we might seek Thee. Author: Augustine |
The present is the only time in which any duty may be done or grace received. Author: C.S. Lewis |

Between here and heaven, every minute that the Christian lives will be a minute of grace. Author: Charles Spurgeon |
Born, as all of us are by nature, an Arminian, I still believed the old things I had heard continually from the pulpit, and did not see the grace of God. When I was coming to Christ, I thought I was doing it all myself, and though I sought the Lord earnestly, I had no idea the Lord was seeking me. Author: Charles Spurgeon Source: Sermon, A Defense of Calvinism. |
Free will I have often heard of, but I have never seen it. I have met with will, and plenty of it, but it has either been led captive by sin or held in blessed bonds of grace. Author: Charles Spurgeon |
From the Word of God I gather that damnation is all of man, from top to bottom, and salvation is all of grace, from first to last. He that perishes chooses to perish; but he that is saved is saved because God has chosen to save him. Author: Charles Spurgeon |
Grace puts its hand on the boasting mouth, and shuts it once for all. Author: Charles Spurgeon |
I believe the doctrine of election, because I am quite certain that, if God had not chosen me, I should never have chosen Him; and I am sure He chose me before I was born, or else He never would have chosen me afterwards; and He must have elected me for reasons unknown to me, for I never could find any reason in myself why He should have looked upon me with special love.
