Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, even persecutors, the worst of sinners: his righteousness is sufficient for them his Spirit is able to purify and change their hearts.
George Whitefield
Image
Man is nothing he hath a free will to go to hell, but none to go to heaven, till God worketh in him and you dishonour God by denying election. You plainly make salvation depend, not on God's 'free grace' but on Man's 'free will.'

George Whitefield
Image
Had I a hundred hands, I could employ them all. The harvest is very great. I am ashamed I can do no more for him who has done so much for me.

Image
O that unbelievers would learn of faithful Abraham, and believe whatever is revealed from God, though they cannot fully comprehend it! Abraham knew God commanded him to offer up his son, and therefore believed, notwithstanding carnal reasoning might suggest may objections.

Image
People want to recommend themselves to God by their sincerity they think, 'If we do all we can, if we are but sincere, Jesus Christ will have mercy on us.' But pray what is there in our sincerity to recommend us to God? ... therefore, if you depend on your sincerity for your salvation, your sincerity will damn you.

What could the Lord Jesus Christ have done for you more than he has? Then do not abuse his mercy, but let your time be spent in thinking and talking of the love of Jesus, who was incarnate for us, who was born of a woman, and made under the law, to redeem us from the wrath to come.
