More quotes by Alexander MacLaren
If you want to live in this world, doing the duty of life, knowing the blessings of it, doing your work heartily, and yet not absorbed by it, remember that the one power whereby you can so act is, that all shall be consecrated to Christ, and done for His sake.
Alexander MacLaren
We are only asking you to give to Christ that which you give to others, to transfer the old emotions, the blessed emotions, the exercise of which makes gladness in the life here below, to transfer them to Him, and to rest safe in the Lord. Faith is trust.
Alexander MacLaren
The cup which my Saviour giveth me, can it be anything but a cup of salvation?
Alexander MacLaren
If our faith in God is not the veriest sham, it demands, and will produce, the abandonment sometimes, the subordination always, of external helps and material good.
Alexander MacLaren
A picture without sky has no glory. This present, unless we see gleaming beyond it the eternal calm of the heavens, above the tossing tree tops with withering leaves, and the smoky chimneys, is a poor thing for our eyes to gaze at, or our hearts to love, or our hands to toil on.
Alexander MacLaren
The sum of the whole matter is this: He who is one in will and heart with God is a Christian. He who loves God is one in will and heart with Him. He who trusts Christ loves God. That is Christianity in its ultimate purpose and result. That is Christianity in its means and working forces. That is Christianity in its starting point and foundation.
Alexander MacLaren
You cannot put patience and experience into a parenthesis, and, omitting them, bring hope out of tribulation.
Alexander MacLaren
That which of all things unfits man for the reception of Christ as a Savior, is not gross profligacy and outward, vehement transgression, but it is self-complacency, fatal self-righteousness and self-sufficiency.
Alexander MacLaren
Love Christ, and then the eternity in the heart will not be a great aching void, but will be filled with the everlasting life which Christ gives and is.
Alexander MacLaren
No man loveth God except the man who has first learned that God loves him.
Alexander MacLaren
We must have the glory sink into us before it can be reflected from us. In deep inward beholding we must have Christ in our hearts, that He may shine forth from our lives.
Alexander MacLaren
Logically, faith comes first, and love next but in life they will spring up together in the soul the interval which separates them is impalpable, and in every act of trust, love is present and fundamental to every emotion of love to Christ is trust in Christ.
Alexander MacLaren
Faith refers to Christ. Holiness depends on faith. Heaven depends on holiness.
Alexander MacLaren
Let me always remember that it is not the amount of religious knowledge which I have, but the amount which I use, that determines my religious position and character.
Alexander MacLaren
Christ's voice sounds now for each of us in loving invitation and dead in sin and hardness of heart though we be, we can listen and live. Christ Himself, my brother, sows the seed now. Do you take care that it falls not on, but in, your souls.
Alexander MacLaren
The never-ceasing boom of the great ocean as it breaks on the beach, drowns all smaller sounds.
Alexander MacLaren
To pursue joy is to lose it. The only way to get it is to follow steadily the path of duty.
Alexander MacLaren
The cross is the centre of the world's history the incarnation of Christ and the crucifiction of our Lord are the pivot round which all the events of the ages revolve. The testimony of Christ was the spirit of prophecy, and the growing power of Jesus is the spirit of history
Alexander MacLaren
The tears of Christ are the pity of God. The gentleness of Jesus is the long-suffering of God. The tenderness of Jesus is the love of God. He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.
Alexander MacLaren
Remember that vision on the Mount of Transfiguration and let it be ours, even in the glare of earthly joys and brightnesses, to lift up our eyes, like those wondering three, and see no man any more, save Jesus only.
Alexander MacLaren
