“Grace is the seed of glory, the dawning of glory in the heart, and therefore grace is the earnest of the future inheritance.”

How can you expect to dwell with God forever, if you so neglect and forsake him here?

By the grace of God we will never pluck unripe fruit. We will never press people to decision, because we’ll lead them to damnation and not salvation.

He who has Christ has all he needs and needs no more.

Resolved, that I will live so, as I shall wish I had done when I come to die.

The pleasures of humility are really the most refined, inward, and exquisite delights in the world.

The enjoyment of God is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied.

Every Christian that goes before us from this world is a ransomed spirit waiting to welcome us in heaven.

Wicked people will on the day of judgment see all there is to see of Jesus Christ, except His beauty and loveliness

As God delights in his own beauty, he must necessarily delight in the creature’s holiness which is a conformity to and participation of it, as truly as [the] brightness of a jewel, held in the sun’s beams, is a participation or derivation of the sun’s brightness, though immensely less in degree.

Men who believe that, through some exceptional grace or good fortune, they have found God, feel little need of culture.

The gayety of life, like the beauty and the moral worth of life, is a saving grace, which to ignore is folly, and to destroy is crime. There is no more than we need; there is barely enough to go round.

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

At a time when all too many of our leading thinkers are mired in the weeds of provincialism and narrow ideological wars, Postel has written a work of grace, intelligence, and towering integrity.

Grace is God’s acceptance of us. Faith is our acceptance of God accepting us.
