More quotes by John Newton
I once was lost, but now am found.
John Newton
If the Lord be with us, we have no cause of fear. His eye is upon us, His arm over us, His ear open to our prayer - His grace sufficient, His promise unchangeable.
John Newton
A soul disengaged from the world is a heavenly one and then are we ready for heaven when our heart is there before us.
John Newton
Many are convinced, who are not truly enlightened are afraid of the consequences of sin, though they never saw its evil have a seeming desire of salvation, which is not founded upon a truly spiritual discovery of their own wretchedness, and the excellency of Jesus.
John Newton
If we seem to get no good by attempting to draw near to Him, we may be sure we will get none by keeping away from Him.
John Newton
By affliction prayer is quickened, for our prayers are very apt to grow languid and formal in a time of ease.
John Newton
Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home.
John Newton
My grand point in preaching is to break the hard heart, and to heal the broken one.
John Newton
God often takes a course for accomplishing His purposes directly contrary to what our narrow views would prescribe. He brings a death upon our feelings, wishes, and prospects when He is about to give us the desire of our hearts.
John Newton
How Sweet the name of Jesus... the rock on which I build, my shield and hiding place, my never failing treasury, filled with boundless stores of grace.
John Newton
God sometimes does His work with gentle drizzle, not storms.
John Newton
Experience is the Lord's school, and they who are taught by Him usually learn by the mistakes they make that in themselves they have no wisdom and by their slips and falls, that they have no strength.
John Newton
Whether men are pleased or not, we will, we must, worship the Lamb that was slain.
John Newton
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear.
John Newton
A minister full of comforts & free from failings as an angel, though he would be happy, wouldn't be a good or useful preacher
John Newton
I make it a rule of Christian duty never to go to a place where there is not room for my Master as well as myself.
John Newton
The art of spreading rumors may be compared to the art of pin-making. There is usually some truth, which I call the wire as this passes from hand to hand, one gives it a polish, another a point, others make and put on the head, and at last the pin is completed.
John Newton
Not only the guilt, but the love of sin, and its dominion, are taken away, subdued by grace, and cordially renounced by the believing pardoned sinner.
John Newton
Zeal without knowledge is like expedition to a man in the dark.
John Newton
As to myself, if I were not a Calvinist, I think I should have no more hope of success in preaching to men, than to horses or cows.
