The righteousness of Jesus Christ is one of those great mysteries, which the angels desire to look into, and seems to be one of the first lessons that God taught men after the fall.

Veilleur Nee
With fear and trembling we must rely upon God for guidance in the inner depths. This is the sole way to walk according to the spirit.
Watchman Nee
Sinclair Ferguson, Grow in Grace, 1989, p. 119.
There can be few more alarming sights than the sight of what we would be were we left to ourselves, of what we are by nature in and of ourselves. It is a sight which few of us are able to bear for any length of time. That is why such experiences are usually brief, pointed but not prolonged. God shows us enough to make us see our need, to break down any illusions we may have had about ourselves. Like a skilled surgeon His knife work is fast, accurate and clean.
Sinclair Ferguson, Grow in Grace, 1989, p. 119.
John Younts
The “put on” response to swearing is gratitude. Notice the end of Ephesians 5:4. Paul says that gratitude should punctuate your speech, not swearing. This contrast is striking. It is not simply replacing one set of words with another set of words. God wants your grateful heart. He wants your faithful, trusting heart. He wants your submissive, humble heart. When He has these things from you, swearing will not be an issue. If your talk acknowledges that God has sovereign control over your life, and that He is working all things together for your good, you will express your gratitude, not your frustration or rebellion.
John Younts
John Owen
How many millions of sins in every one of the elect, every one of which is enough to condemn them all, hath this love overcome! What mountains of unbelief doth it remove! Look upon the conduct of any one saint, consider the frame of his heart, see the many stains and spots, the defilements and infirmities with which his life is contaminated, and tell me whether the love that bears with all this is not to be admired. And is not the same towards thousands every day? What streams of grace, purging, pardoning, quickening, assisting, do flow from it every day! This is our Beloved.
John Owen
Samuel Rutherford
The hope of heaven under troubles is like wind and sails to the soul.
Samuel Rutherford
Donald Guthrie
Lorsqu'une vérité est déployée par Dieu, elle devient tout naturellement une force dans l'homme, qui se trouve alors capable de croire.
Watchman Nee
When a truth is unfolded by God it most naturally becomes a power in man, who then finds himself able to believe.
Watchman Nee
Michael Lawrence, Biblical Theology, page 136.
Understanding our inability to choose God unless God first chooses us actually frees the evangelist to evangelize, and leaves the converting to God!

William Hendriksen, Luke, Baker, 1978, p. 498.
The underlying figure is that of a condemned man who is forced to take up and carry his own cross to the place of execution. However, what the convict does under duress, the disciple of Christ does willingly. He voluntarily and decisively accepts the pain, shame, and persecution that is going to be his particular – note: his, not someone else’s – lot because of his loyalty to Christ and his cause.
William Hendriksen, Luke, Baker, 1978, p. 498.
Origène
When Jesus then is with the multitudes, He is not in His house, for the multitudes are outside of the house, and it is an act which springs from His love of men to leave the house and to go away to those who are not able to come to Him.
Origen
Randy Smith
Strong Christians refuse to make it about themselves and the engagement in petty battles. It’s not about personal vendettas, but winning the war for Jesus. Weak people get easily offended and use their energy to defend their wounded ego. Their will and their kingdom now becomes more important than God’s will and kingdom. And when Christians get there, they are in the flesh and being used by the devil. They are defeated.
Randy Smith
François Fénelon
The passion of acquiring riches in order to support a vain expense, corrupts the purest souls.
Francois Fenelon
