Christianity without the atoning blood is a Christianity without mercy for the sinner, without settled peace for the conscience, without genuine forgiveness, without justification, without cleansing, without power. It is not Christianity, but the devil’s own counterfeit.
—R. A. Torrey
Torrey said this when talking about missions.
“The stingy Christian cannot be a growing Christian. It is wonderful how a Christian begins to grow when he begins to give.”
—R. A. Torrey
Happy is the Christian that has a little band of friends that meet together regularly for prayer.
—R. A. Torrey
A true Christian must…labour to cleanse himself from all filthiness of flesh and spirit ~ The Sum of Saving Knowledge
The one who neglects his Bible is bound to make a failure of the Christian life.
—R. A. Torrey
A Christian may be drawn to sin, yet he would be glad with all his heart to be rid of sin. It would be more to him than thousands of gold and silver, that he might grieve and offend God no more; He that is under the dominion of sin is loath to leave his lusts….
—John Flavel
If I, like some people, believed that the success and the future of the Christian Church was dependent upon human ability and power and organization, if I believed that organized campaigns and so on were really going to solve the problem, I would be entirely hopeless.
—Martyn Lloyd-Jones
If we are not more concerned for the purity of the Church than with the fact that we are faced by the possibility of another war, that is a serious reflection upon our Christianity.
—Martyn Lloyd-Jones
…the Christian is assured that though he may be a person who is physically disposed to be thoroughly alarmed, he may experience not only strength but positive joy in the midst of danger.
—Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Shame on us Christian people for thinking so much like worldlings and using the foolish methods of philosophy when we are dealing with the everlasting and eternal God.
—Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The Christian faith differs from all other religions in that its doctrines are based on facts.
—Martyn Lloyd-Jones
A Christian is not poor, who is rich in grace; a man is not miserable, who has Christ for his portion.
William Gearing
I love those that thunder out the word. The Christian world is in a deep sleep. Nothing but a loud voice can awaken them out of it.
—George Whitefield
If there is such a blessed peace between God and a true Christian, then he must be very peaceable in the world. He must be of a very peaceable disposition before men.
—Jeremiah Burroughs
Christian contentment is opposed to sinful shifting and shirkings to get relief and help.
