Sam Storms, Pleasures Evermore : The Life-Changing Power of Knowing God, 2000, p. 24.
If the primary thing keeping you from sinning is the fear of getting caught or the prospect of shame or of being exposed as immoral, you don’t stand much of a chance. Oh, these might work for a while. You might find enough strength to resist for the time being. But the relentless assault of temptation will eventually wear you down and the power of resistance will gradually erode until you give in, tired, frustrated, bitter, angry with God, doubting if a life of obedience will ever bring the satisfaction your soul so deeply craves.

Proud people focus on the failures of others and can readily point out those faults. Broken people are more conscious of their own spiritual need than of anyone else’s.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss, Brokenness, The Heart God Revives, Moody Publishers, 2002, p. 88.
Le chrétien n'est pas celui qui a fait tout le chemin avec le Christ. Aucun d'entre nous ne l'a fait. Le chrétien est celui qui a trouvé le bon chemin.

The Christian is not the one who had gone all the way with Christ. None of us has. The Christian is one who has found the right road.

La résurrection de Jésus fournit une explication suffisante du tombeau vide et des rencontres avec Jésus. Et après avoir examiné toutes les autres hypothèses possibles que j'ai trouvées dans la littérature sur ce sujet, je pense que c'est aussi une explication nécessaire.
Anthony Flew, There is a God, How the world's most notorious atheist changed his mind
Richard B. Hays
Jesus' death on the cross is not an accident or an injustice that befell him; it is, rather, an act of sacrifice freely offered for the sake of God's people.
Richard B. Hays
La souffrance du Christ pour nous n'est pas une simple esquive théologique, mais le cas suprême de la loi qui régit le monde entier ; et lorsqu'ils se moquaient de lui en disant : "Il a sauvé les autres, il ne peut pas se sauver lui-même" [Matthieu 27:42 ; Marc 15:31], ils exprimaient en réalité, sans le savoir, la loi ultime du monde spirituel.
C.S. Lewis
Christ’s suffering for us is not a mere theological dodge but the supreme case of the law that governs the whole world; and when they mocked him by saying, ‘He saved others, himself he cannot save,’ [Matthew 27:42; Mark 15:31] they were really uttering, little as they knew it, the ultimate law of the spiritual world.

Donald S. Whitney, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, 1991, p. 143.
The proportion of your income that you give back to God is one distinct indication of how much you trust Him to provide for your needs… We will give to the extent that we believe God will provide for us. The more we believe God will provide for our needs, the more we are willing to risk giving to Him. And the less we trust God, the less we will give to Him.
Donald S. Whitney, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, 1991, p. 143.
La grâce de Dieu n'est pas donnée pour que nous nous sentions mieux, mais pour le glorifier... Les bons sentiments peuvent venir, ou ne pas venir, mais ce n'est pas la question. La question est de savoir si oui ou non nous honorons Dieu par la façon dont nous réagissons à nos circonstances.
Jerry Bridges
God's grace is not given to make us feel better, but to glorify Him... Good feelings may come, or they may not, but that is not the issue. The issue is whether or not we honor God by the way we respond to our circumstances.
Jerry Bridges
Et nous savons combien il était nécessaire que le Christ se présente comme Dieu et comme homme ; car le salut ne peut être attendu autrement que de Dieu ; et le Christ doit nous conférer le salut, et non seulement en être le ministre. Et puis, comme il est Dieu, il nous justifie, il nous régénère, il nous illumine dans l'espérance de la vie éternelle ; vaincre le péché et la mort est sans doute ce qui ne peut s'opérer que par la puissance divine. Aussi le Christ, s'il n'était pas Dieu, n'aurait-il pas pu accomplir ce que nous devions attendre de lui. Il était également nécessaire qu'il se fasse homme, afin de nous unir à lui ; car nous n'avons aucun accès à Dieu, si nous ne devenons pas les amis du Christ ; et comment le devenir, sinon par une union fraternelle ?
Jean Calvin, Commentary, Jérémie 23, 5-6.
And we know how necessary it was that Christ should come forth as God and man; for salvation cannot be expected in any other way than from God; and Christ must confer salvation on us, and not only be its minister. And then, as He is God, He justifies us, regenerates us, illuminates us into a hope of eternal life; to conquer sin and death is doubtless what only can be effected by divine power. Hence Christ, except He was God, could not have performed what we had to expect from Him. It was also necessary that He should become man, that he might unite us to Himself; for we have no access to God, except we become the friends of Christ; and how can we be so made, except by a brotherly union?
John Calvin, Commentary, Jeremiah 23:5-6.
Jésus est présenté comme pleinement humain et donc distinct du Père. Mais Il est aussi pleinement divin et donc une unité avec le Père.
Ajith Fernando, The Supremacy of Christ, 1995, Crossway Books, p. 38.
Jesus is presented as fully human and thus distinct from the Father. But He is also fully divine and thus a unity with the Father.

Derek Prime et Alistair Begg
Prayer is the most effective means of pastoral care… We have been set apart as shepherds and teachers so that we may give time to intercessory prayer. It is no accident that the one present activity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Great Shepherd of the sheep, to which the New Testament refers is His continuing intercession for us (Hebrews 7:25). We are never closer to His heart than when we intercede in His Name for His sheep.
Derek Prime and Alistair Begg
Si, après avoir satisfait son premier désir, un homme reste insatisfait et que son désir s'accroît de plus en plus, il a un cœur cupide.
William Gouge
If upon the obtaining of the first desire, a man remain unsatisfied, and his desire be more and more enlarged, he hath a covetous heart.
William Gouge
Quand il s'agit de la vie et de la mort, il n'y a pas de troisième option.

When it comes to life and death, there's no third option.

Richard Baxter, The Saints’ Everlasting Rest, a classic work first published in 1650.
Heaven excludes nothing more directly than sin; whether original and of nature, or actual and of behavior. For there enters nothing that defiles, nor that works abomination, nor that makes a lie. When they are there, the saints are saints indeed. He that will wash them with His heart-blood, rather than suffer them to enter unclean, will now perfectly see to that; He who has undertaken to present them to His Father, “not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but perfectly holy, and without blemish,” will now most certainly perform His undertaking.
Richard Baxter, The Saints’ Everlasting Rest, a classic work first published in 1650.
Le brisement est l'effondrement de ma volonté propre - l'abandon absolu de ma volonté à la volonté de Dieu. C'est dire "Oui, Seigneur !" - sans résistance, sans frottement, sans entêtement - simplement me soumettre à sa direction et à sa volonté dans ma vie.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss, Brokenness, The Heart God Revives, Moody Publishers, 2002, p. 53.
True brokenness is a lifestyle – a moment-by- moment lifestyle of agreeing with God about the true condition of my heart and life – not as everyone else thinks it is but as He knows it to be.
Brokenness is the shattering of my self-will – the absolute surrender of my will to the will of God. It is saying “Yes, Lord!” – no resistance, no chafing, no stubbornness – simply submitting myself to His direction and will in my life.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss, Brokenness, The Heart God Revives, Moody Publishers, 2002, p. 53.
Watchman Nee
Towards himself a Christian should have a broken spirit, but towards God it should be one of rejoicing always in Him. He rejoices not for its own sake nor because of any joyful experience, work, blessing or circumstance, but exclusively because God is his center.
Watchman Nee
