John Murray, The Pattern of Sanctification (Le modèle de la sanctification).
Nothing is more relevant to progressive sanctification than the reckoning of ourselves to be dead to sin and alive to God through Jesus Christ (cf. Romans 6:11).
John Murray, The Pattern of Sanctification.
J.D. Greear
Repentance is not subsequent to belief; it is part of belief. It is belief in action-choice that flow out of conviction. Repentance literally means "a change of mind" (in Greek, metanoia; meta-"new", noia="mind") about Jesus. Repentance is not merely changing your action; it is changing your actions because you have changed your attitude about Jesus' authority and glory.

Robert Farrar Capon
In the Bible, the opposite of Sin, with a capital 'S,' is not virtue - it's faith: faith in a God who draws all to himself in his resurrection.
Robert Farrar Capon
Dans sa Parole, Dieu nous invite à compter sur lui : “Sur Dieu seul mon âme se repose paisiblement ; de lui vient mon salut… Mon attente est en lui. Lui seul est mon rocher et mon salut, ma haute retraite : je ne serai pas ébranlé” (Psaume 62. 1, 5, 6). “L’Éternel est la force de ma vie” (Psaume 27. 1). Que Satan se présente comme le lion rugissant, ou comme le serpent rusé, nos ressources sont toujours en Celui qui l’a vaincu à la croix ».
James Montgomery Boice, The Preacher and God’s Word.
We are to believe and follow Christ in all things, including His words about Scripture. And this means that Scripture is to be for us what it was to Him: the unique, authoritative, and inerrant Word of God, and not merely a human testimony to Christ, however carefully guided and preserved by God. If the Bible is less than this to us, we are not fully Christ’s disciples.
James Montgomery Boice, The Preacher and God’s Word.
La repentance est l'un des mots les plus positifs du vocabulaire chrétien ! Il désigne le fait de se détourner d'un chemin destructeur pour entrer dans la vie abondante de Dieu.
Richard Blackaby
Repentance is one of the most positive words in the Christian vocabulary! It refers to turning from a destructive path and moving instead into God’s abundant life.

John Murray, The Assurance of Faith, Collected writings of John Murray, 1977.
The facts are that the more intelligent, the deeper and the more unwavering the assurance of salvation is, the humbler, the more stable and the more circumspect will be the life, walk and conduct. Where closeness of fellowship with God is maintained, where the highest privileges of redemption are appropriated, there holiness, love and obedience must reign.

“We meet with the high and holy one, the God of fire, in order that we may ourselves be transformed and be agents for the healing of this world…To enjoy worship for its own sake, or simply out of a cultural appreciation of the ‘performance’ would be like Moses coming upon a burning bush and deciding to cook his lunch on it.”

Adrian Rogers wrote : " The Bible says the fruit of the spirit is long-suffering. I'll tell you one thing about fruit: you will never see a fruit factory. Isn't that right? You see a shirt factory, but you see a fruit orchard. You see, there is no fruit without life. You cannot manufacture patience. The fruit of the Spirit is patience."
Adrian Rogers wrote : « The unity of the Bible is one of the wonderful proofs of the inspiration of God's Word- that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God. »
Charles H. Spurgeon
Standing as we do in a position which makes us choice targets for the devil and his allies, our best course is to defend our innocence by our silence and leave our reputation with God. Yet there are exceptions to this general rule. When distinct, definite, public charges are made against a man he is bound to answer them, and answer them in the clearest and most open manner. To decline all investigation is in such a case practically to plead guilty, and whatever may be the mode of putting it, the general public ordinarily regard a refusal to reply as a proof of guilt. Under mere worry and annoyance it is by far the best to be altogether passive, but when the matter assumes more serious proportions, and our accuser defies us to a defense, we are bound to meet his charges with honest statements of fact.

The gospel being what it is and always will be, “the message of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:19), our churches should be the most reconciling, peaceable, relaxed, happy places in town. We are so open to enemies, so meek in the face of insults and injuries, so forgiving toward the undeserving — if we do make people angry, let this be the reason. We refuse to join in their selfish battles. We’re following a higher call. We are the peacemakers, the true sons of God (Matthew 5:9).

Derwin L. Gray
Jesus' epic work through his sinless life, atoning death, resurrection, and ascension, and the sending of the Spirit, was so that God could have an ethnically diverse family of Jews and Gentiles.
