More quotes by Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke
There is no such thing as chance or accident the words merely signify our ignorance of some real and immediate cause.
Adam Clarke
He who is completely sanctified, or cleansed from all sin, and dies in this state, is fit for glory.
Adam Clarke
Even papists could not see that a moral evil was detained in the soul through its physical connection with the body and that it required the dissolution of this physical connection before the moral contagion could be removed.
Adam Clarke
Prayer requires more of the heart than of the tongue.
Adam Clarke
Deeply consider that it is your duty and interest to read the Holy Scriptures.
Adam Clarke
It is the grace of God, that shows and condemns the sin that humbles us.
Adam Clarke
Remember that the word of God is not sent to particular persons, as if by name and do not think you have no part in it, because you are not named there.
Adam Clarke
I have lived to know that the secret of happiness is never to allow your energies to stagnate.
Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke
Many talk much, and indeed well, of what Christ has done for us: but how little is spoken of what he is to do in us! and yet all that he has done for us is in reference to what he is to do in us.
Adam Clarke
Verse 11. (They presented unto Him gifts). The people of the east never approach the presence of kings and great personages, without a present in their hands. The custom is often noticed in the Old Testament, and still prevails in the east, and in some of the newly discovered South Sea Islands.
Adam Clarke
To be filled with God, is a great thing to be filled with the fulness of God, is still greater to be filled with all the fulness of God, is greatest of all.
Adam Clarke
Death to a good man is but passing through a dark entry, out of one little dusky room of his Father's house into another that is fair and large, lightsome and glorious, and divinely entertaining.
Adam Clarke
The grand obstacle to the salvation of the scribes and Pharisees was their pride, vanity and self-love. They lived on each other's praise. If they had acknowledged Christ as the only good teacher, they must have given up the good opinion of the multitude and they chose rather to lose their souls than to forfeit their reputation among men!
Adam Clarke
To suppose more than one supreme Source of infinite wisdom, power, and all perfections, is to assert that there is no supreme Being in existence.
Adam Clarke
This perfection is the restoration of man to the state of holiness from which he fell, by creating him anew in Christ Jesus, and restoring to him that image and likeness of God which he has lost.
Adam Clarke
Pride works frequently under a dense mask, and will often assume the garb of humility.
Adam Clarke
If you go forward in the spirit of the original apostles and followers of Jesus Christ, trusting not in man but in the living God, he will enable you to pull down the strong holds of sin and Satan, and that work by which he is pleased will prosper in your hands.
Adam Clarke
Now it would be as absurd to deny the existence of God, because we cannot see him, as it would be to deny the existence of the air or wind, because we cannot see it.
Adam Clarke
