Christ

Above all, sooner forget your Christian name, than forget to eye Christ!

—John Wesley

When Christ died, the ransom was prepared, the sum laid down; but yet the elect continue still in sin and misery, until, by effectual calling it be actually applied to their persons, and then they are made free, reconciled by Christ’s death, by whom we have now rec’d atonement.

—John Flavel

If the soul flies to Jesus Christ, they may find rest in him, for he came into the world to destroy Satan, and to rescue souls out of his hands.

—Jonathan Edwards

We have not a deliverance from trouble, a recovering of health, ease of pain, freedom from any evil that ever laid hold upon us, but it is given us on the intercession of Jesus Christ.

We must suffer, as well as do, for CHRIST. If you are one of his you will rejoice.

In Christ! Let me entreat every serious person once more to fix his attention here.

—John Wesley

Christ is not only God above us; which may keep us in awe, but cannot save; but he is Immanuel, God with us, and in us.

—John Wesley

Art thou unable to atone for the least of thy sins? He is the propitiation for all thy sins. Now believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and all thy sins are blotted out!

—John Wesley

In Him, not in our circumstances, is our peace. As of old, it is today. In Christ, in Colosse; in Christ, in hospital; in Christ, here.

—Amy Carmichael

But they put it on a candlestick, and it giveth light to all that are in the house: in like manner, it is the design of God that every Christian should be in an open point of view; that he may give light to all around, that he may visibly express the religion of Jesus Christ.

—John Wesley

And in the one kind or the other, every follower of Christ will surely have need to take up his cross daily.

—John Wesley

There was no room for them in the inn — Now also, there is seldom room for Christ in an inn.

—John Wesley

Nothing is impossible to him that believeth: You can do all things through Christ that strengtheneth you. Do valiantly; and stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free.

—John Wesley

If you resolve and design to follow Christ, you are fit to approach the Lord’s table.

—John Wesley

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and all His wisdom, and power, and faithfulness are engaged on thy side.

—John Wesley

O the grace and mercy of Christ which are still ready for me, a poor persevering sinner, who have so long trifled with the concerns of my soul’s salvation.

—William Wilberforce

We follow no men any farther than they are followers of Christ.

—John Wesley

O may I grow in the fear and love of God and Christ and may I be an habitation of God through the Spirit, 1 Cor 6:1.

O God, do thou by Christ enlighten me and quicken me.

—William Wilberforce

I humbly trust I have humbled myself before God and come to him through Christ and though my heart be so hard and cold and inconstant yet I will humbly trust that his mercy will be extended, even to me.

—William Wilberforce

Change me. Renew me. O Christ hear me. I go to prayer.

—William Wilberforce

I go to prayer, humbly throwing myself on the promised mercies of God in Christ.

—William Wilberforce

May I henceforth live under a more habitually lively sense of the mercies of Christ.

—William Wilberforce

O may I have my conversation in heaven and my affections set on things above, looking for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

—William Wilberforce

If I had waited on God continually and lived on him and Christ by faith I should have brought forth more fruit 10 times 1,000 times over.

—William Wilberforce

Help me O God, enable me to turn to thee with my whole heart and to serve thee in newness of nature in Christ.

—William Wilberforce

How little have I done for God since I devoted myself to him. I fly for pardon to the mercy of God in Christ.

—William Wilberforce

O may I desire to praise God and Christ and present body and soul a reasonable service of sacrifice.

—William Wilberforce

I have been praying to God through Christ and I will humbly trust to his promises, Ho! Every one that thirsteth.

Above all, may the love of Christ constrain me to live no longer to myself, but to him who died and rose again.
