John MacArthur, 2 Corinthiens, Moody Publishers, 2003, p. 176-177.
Believers will not be judged for sin at the judgment seat of Christ. Every sin of every believer was judged at the Cross, when God “made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Cor. 5:21). At the cross “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us” (Gal. 3:13). As our substitute, “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness” (1 Peter 2:24); “He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God” (Heb. 10:12; cf. Eph. 1:7;4:32; 1 John 2:1-2). Because of His atoning sacrifice on our behalf, “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus… Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us “(Rom. 8:1,34). But though salvation is not by works, works are the inevitable result of true salvation.
John MacArthur, 2 Corinthians, Moody Publishers, 2003, p. 176-177.
Charles Spurgeon
Anything is a blessing which makes us pray.

Richard Sibbes
There are no men more careful of the use of means than those that are surest of a good issue and conclusion, for the one stirs up diligence in the other. Assurance of the end stirs up diligence in the means. For the soul of a believing Christian knows that God has decreed both.
Richard Sibbes

Thomas Adams
We spend our years with sighing; it is a valley of tears; but death is the funeral of all our sorrows.
Thomas Adams
Neil T. Anderson
The essence of temptation is the invitation to live independently of God.
Neil T. Anderson
Henry Drummond
Many men would be religious if they knew where to begin; many would be more religious if they were sure where it would end. It is not indifference that keeps some men from God, but ignorance. "Good Master, what must I do to inherit Eternal Life?" is still the deepest question of the age.
Henry Drummond
William Penn
God is better served in resisting a temptation to evil than in many formal prayers.
William Penn
L'argent ne reste jamais avec moi. Il me brûlerait s'il le faisait. Je le jette de mes mains dès que possible, de peur qu'il ne s'introduise dans mon cœur.
John Wesley, ecclésiastique et théologien
Money never stays with me. It would burn me if it did. I throw it out of my hands as soon as possible, lest it should find its way into my heart.
John Wesley, Cleric and Theologian
Thomas Watson
Satan doth sow most of his seed of temptation in hearts that lie fallow. When he sees persons unemployed, he will find work for them to do.
Thomas Watson
Ken Sande, The Peacemaker : A Biblical Guide to Resolving Personal Conflict, Baker Books, 3d ed., 2004, p. 83.
To truly overlook an offense means to deliberately decide not to talk about it, dwell on it, or let it grow into pent-up bitterness. If you cannot let go of an offense in this way, if it is too serious to overlook, or if it continues as part of a pattern in the other person’s life, then you will need to go and talk to the other person about it in a loving and constructive manner.
Ken Sande, The Peacemaker: A Biblical Guide to Resolving Personal Conflict, Baker Books, 3d ed., 2004, p. 83.
John Wesley
We are to bear with those we cannot amend, and to be content with offering them to God. This is true resignation. And since He has borne our infirmities, we may well bear those of each other for His sake.
John Wesley
William Thrasher
To pray in the Holy Spirit simply means to lean upon His divine help as we pray.

John Hannah, To God be the Glory, Crossway, 2000, p. 17.
It is illogical to think that an all-sufficient God created the world because of some personal need or internal inadequacy. There is no inadequacy in God. God is perfect in all His being and in all His ways. He is infinitely glorious and unchangeably happy. He has no need of improvement. God could not better His own perfection or see a need to. It would mean that God was not perfect before He did so.
John Hannah, To God be the Glory, Crossway, 2000, p. 17.
Horatius Bonar, Follow the Lamb, 1861.
All error is, more or less, whether directly or indirectly, a misrepresentation of God’s character and a subversion of His revelation (Rev 22:18-19).
Horatius Bonar, Follow the Lamb, 1861.
