More quotes by John Flavel
The Spirit must therefore first take hold of us before we can live in Christ, and when he doth so, then we are enabled to exert that vital act of faith, whereby we receive Christ.
John Flavel
When God gives you comforts, it is your great evil not to observe His hand in them.
John Flavel
Let all Arminians know: we have as high an esteem for faith as any men in the world, but yet we will not rob Christ to clothe faith.
John Flavel
To see a man humble under prosperity is one of the greatest rarities in the world.
John Flavel
No doctrine is more excellent, or necessary to be preached and studied, than Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
John Flavel
Christ [is] the very essence of all delights and pleasures, the very soul and substance of them. As all the rivers are gathered into the ocean, which is congregation or meeting-place of all waters in the world: so Christ is that ocean in which all true delights and pleasures meet. . . .
John Flavel
The Lord's supper is memorative, and so it has the nature and use of a pledge or token of love, left by a dying to a dear surviving friend.
John Flavel
Grace makes the promise and providence the payment.
John Flavel
Christian, thou knowest thou carriest Gunpowder about thee, desire those that carry Fire to keep at a Distance from thee 'tis a dangerous Crisis when a proud Heart meets with flattering Lips.
John Flavel
Affliction is a pill, which, being wrapt up in patience and quiet submission, may be easily swallowed but discontent chews the pill, and so embitters the soul.
John Flavel
All the dark, intricate, puzzling providences at which we were sometimes so offended...we shall [one day] see to be to us, as the difficult passage through the wilderness was to Israel, the right way to the city of habitation.
John Flavel
How often has providence convinced its observers, upon a sober recollection of the events of their lives, that if the Lord had left them to their own counsels they had as often been their own tormentors, if not executioners!
John Flavel
Providence is like a curious piece of tapestry made of a thousand shreds, which, single, appear useless, but put together, they represent a beautiful history to the eye.
John Flavel
Christ and his benefits go inseparably and undividedly... Many would willingly receive his privileges, who will not receive his person but it cannot be if we will have one, we must take the other too: Yea, we must accept his person first, and then his benefits: as it is in the marriage covenant, so it is here.
John Flavel
Christ bounds and terminates the vast desires of the soul He is the very Sabbath of the soul.
John Flavel
The heart of a Christian, like the moon, commonly suffers an eclipse when it is at the full, and that by the interposition of the earth.
John Flavel
And now let us consider and marvel that ever this great and blessed God should be so much concerned, as you have heard He is in all His providences, about such vile, despicable worms as we are! He does not need us, but is perfectly blessed and happy in Himself without us. We can add nothing to Him.
John Flavel
He is bread to the hungry, water to the thirsty, a garment to the naked, healing to the wounded and whatever a soul can desire is found in Him.
John Flavel
God's unspotted faithfulness never failed any soul that durst trust himself in its arms.
John Flavel
Christ is so in love with holiness, that at the price of His blood He will buy it for us.
