If you will be Christ’s, you must submit to all those means Christ has appointed for the mortification of your corruptions, be they never so hard: rebukes from God, rebukes from men, by afflictions, and by the Word, for the mortification of sin.
—John Flavel
Any one who is not a fisher of men is not following Christ.
—R. A. Torrey
Sin was the sword that pierced Christ, and so the death of Christ becomes the death of sin in His people.
—John Flavel
The devil thought he was defeating Christ, but Christ was reconciling us to God, defeating the devil and delivering us out of his clutches.
—Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is not an idea; but a literal, historic fact.
—Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Do you say, “Have you never sinned?” Alas, I have. Sinned so deeply that none of you will ever know, thank God. But thank God still more, when Jesus Christ was nailed to yonder Cross of Calvary, all my sins were settled.
—R. A. Torrey
You can tell a man who is filled by the Holy Spirit; he is all the time talking about Christ, has nothing to say of himself, but is constantly holding Jesus Christ up as an all-sufficient Savior.
—D. L. Moody
Faith is an outward look, not an inward look. A great many people are looking at their feelings, a great many people are looking down here. Don’t be looking at your feelings, but look at heaven; and if you have got the right kind of Christ, you will have the right kind of faith.
—D. L. Moody
Many a man that shines and glitters now on the platform will soon be forgotten, but the man or woman who does anything for Christ will never be forgotten.
—D. L. Moody
Thank God, I can proclaim the good news that Christ can deliver us from all our sins, and I don’t care if you are bound hand and foot with sin, if you only come to him, he will save you.
—D. L. Moody
Many attempt to be disciples of Jesus and not let the world know it. To be a secret disciple means to be no disciple at all. If one really has received Christ he cannot keep it to himself.
—R. A. Torrey
You do not know God apart from Jesus Christ.
—Martyn Lloyd-Jones
There is something down in the human heart that is so under the power of the devil that men begin to resist you when you preach Christ; but you may preach everything else but that, and there is no opposition.
—D. L. Moody
Christ is the anointed one, the sent one. God sent Him to deal in grace with men; and if you want the God of all grace to meet you and bless you, you must meet Him at the foot of the cross; you must meet Him in Christ.
—D. L. Moody
There is not one that is troubled with any sin but that he can find a Deliverer in the Lord Jesus Christ.
—D. L. Moody
But if everyone else has gone astray, it is your duty to follow Christ. He is the perfect example.
—D. L. Moody
We don’t know what is before us, but if we have received Jesus Christ, let storms come, let deaths come, let sickness come, let pestilence come, we are sure of life beyond the grave.
—D. L. Moody
If you receive Jesus Christ, you will love him more than you will love yourself. He will be dearer to you than yourself.
—D. L. Moody
When a minister or a messenger of Christ begins to change the message because he thinks it is not exactly what it ought to be, and thinks he is wiser than God, God just dismisses that man.
—D. L. Moody
There is no forgiveness apart from Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
—Martyn Lloyd-Jones
I don’t think any man or woman knows what true liberty is until they have been set free by the Lord Jesus Christ.
—D. L. Moody
Let’s pray that we may get self out of the way, that Christ may be all in all.
—D. L. Moody
Two criminals were crucified with Christ. One was saved; do not despair. One was not; do not presume.
Augustine
Christ hath a fellow feeling with his saints in all their troubles, as a man hath with his own flesh.
—John Owen
The terrible thing, the almost impossible thing, is to hand over your whole self — all your wishes and precautions — to Christ. – C.S. Lewis
“The best church that ever Christ had on earth would within a few years apostatise from the truth if deserted by the Spirit of God.”
See that you build upon nothing below Christ! See that you have a real interest in Christ. See that you die daily to sin, to the world, and to your own righteousness.
Thomas Brooks
The saints of the Old Testament are saved in Christ as much as you and I are, and all who will ever live must be saved in Christ or not at all.
—Martyn Lloyd Jones
God’s regenerating power is greater than the strength of the world, Hell, or man’s wicked heart. He can draw the worst sinners to Christ.
Simeon Ashe
Justification, if dependent upon works, cannot possibly stand in the sight of God, it must depend solely on the mercy of God and communion with Christ, and therefore on faith alone.
—John Calvin
