When the sinner comes to Christ, it is all at once taken away, and the soul is left free, it is lightened of its burden, it is delivered from its bondage, and is like a bird escaped from the snare of the fowler.
—Jonathan Edwards
In Christ the very nature of God is discovered to be love and kindness; and that he will exercise the same to sinners, he hath promised, sworn and solemnly engaged himself by covenant.
—John Owen
Through Christ, come to God the Father, from whom you have departed by sin.
—Jonathan Edwards
Christ gives his Spirit, that calms the mind, and is like a refreshing breeze of wind.
—Jonathan Edwards
Simplicity is the very spirit of the gospel; therefore, the more we learn CHRIST, the more regardless we shall be of worldly vanities.
—George Whitefield
There is no *saving knowledge of any property of God*, nor such as brings *consolation*, but what alone is to be had in Christ Jesus, being laid up in him, and manifested by him.
—John Owen
The soul sees in Christ a way to peace with God, and a way by which the law may be answered, and justice satisfied, and yet he may escape; a wonderful way indeed, but yet a certain and a glorious one.
—Jonathan Edwards
There are many glimpses of the patience of God shining out in the works of his providence; but all exceedingly beneath that discovery of it which we have in Christ
—John Owen
*Love unto sinners*. Without this, man is of all creatures most miserable; and there is not the least glimpse of it that can possibly be discovered but in Christ.
—John Owen
My dear brother, call down a blessing by your prayers. The LORD will hear those who put their trust in his mercy through CHRIST.
—George Whitefield
This, then, for the present, may suffice in general to be spoken of the personal grace of the Lord Christ:- He hath a fitness to save, having pity and ability, tenderness and power, to carry on that work to the uttermost
—John Owen
All true and solid knowledge is laid up in, and is only to be attained from and by, the Lord Jesus Christ
—John Owen
Christ puts strength and a principle of new life into the weary soul that comes to him.
—Jonathan Edwards
If we suppose that Christ died without any absolute determination that any particular persons should be saved by his death, we must suppose that he undertook to die when he was wholly at uncertainties about the success of his death.
—Jonathan Edwards
The first and grand thing, is to get a true and lively faith in CHRIST JESUS, seeking for it by earnest prayer.
—George Whitefield
Many of those who are in Christ are condemned by others who are unjust judges.
—Jonathan Edwards
In the sufferings of Christ, the threatening of the law is already completely finished, that infinite punishment has been eternally gone through.
—Jonathan Edwards
Amazing, that ever sinners should sit with their Saviour! To what dignity has CHRIST exalted human nature. And how did he do it? Why, by humbling himself. Let us go and do likewise.
—George Whitefield
That such a person who was divine and so dear to the Father should suffer at all would have been a wonderful testimony of God’s hatred of sin. But specially it was so when Christ suffered so much.
—Jonathan Edwards
Now may He who from the dead
Brought the Shepherd of the sheep,
JESUS CHRIST, our King and Head,
All our souls in safety keep!
—John Newton
Many men & women who are troubled for their sin think God will be satisfied by their mourning. But mourning your heart out for 1,000 years will never satisfy the justice of God. Mourning will come to nothing, unless it leads
you to Jesus Christ for satisfaction of God’s justice.

Since I came to understand the gospel of Jesus Christ, the great mystery of godliness in His Son, and the dealings of the Father with the Son, the Lord knows now that I abhor sin in secret more than I abhor hell itself.

We should study Christ, and praise and bless God, and have our hearts enlarged for Jesus Christ.
—Jeremiah Burroughs
Articles or rules for doctrine or practice in matters of religion to be imposed upon men, should be as few as may be; there is very great danger in the unnecessary multiplying them. This in all ages has caused division and exceeding disturbances in the churches of Christ.

We should study Christ, and praise and bless God, and have our hearts enlarged for Jesus Christ. This is the duty of believers to whom God has revealed Christ as wonderful… You should so walk before men as to manifest to all the world that your Savior is a wonderful Savior.
