Quote

Eve was not taken out of Adam's head to top him, neither out of his feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him.

More quotes by Matthew Henry

Image
Christ died. He left a will in which He gave His soul to His Father, His body to Joseph of Arimathea, His clothes to the soldiers, and His mother to John. But to His disciples, who had left all to follow Him, He left not silver or gold, but something far better-His PEACE!
Matthew Henry
Image
The first lesson in Christ's school is self-denial.
Matthew Henry
Image
We should take heed of pride it is a sin that turned angels into devils.
Matthew Henry
Image
It is a sin against God not to pray for the Israel of God, especially for those of them that are under our charge. Good men are afraid of the guilt of omissions ( I Samuel 12).
Matthew Henry
Image
If God and his grace do not rule us, sin and Satan will have possession of us.
Matthew Henry
Image
If therefore our houses be houses of the Lord, we shall for that reason love home, reckoning our daily devotion the sweetest of our daily delights, and our family worship the most valuable of our family comforts. This will sanctify to us all the conveniences of our houses, and reconcile us to the inconveniences of it.
Matthew Henry
Image
Goodness makes greatness truly valuable, and greatness make goodness much more serviceable.
Matthew Henry

Prayer time must be kept up as duly as meal-time.
Matthew Henry
Image
The prayers and supplications that Christ offered up were, joined with strong cries and tears, herein setting us example not only to pray, but to be fervent and importunate in prayer. How many dry prayers, how few wet ones, do we offer up to God!
Matthew Henry
Image
For love is of God. He is the fountain, author, parent, and commander of love it is the sum of his law and gospel.
Matthew Henry
Image
Prayer is the midwife of mercy, that helps to bring it forth.
Matthew Henry
Image
The meek are those who quietly submit themselves to God, to His Word and to His rod, who follow His directions, and comply with His designs, and are gentle toward all men.
Matthew Henry
Image
A man that is endued with the powers of reason, by which he is capable of knowing, serving, glorifying, and enjoying his Maker, and yet lives without God in the world, is certainly the most despicable and the most miserable animal under the sun.
Matthew Henry
Image
As if men did not die fast enough, they are ingenious at finding out ways to destroy one another.
Matthew Henry
Image
All this and heaven too.
Matthew Henry
Image
God is either your worst enemy or your best friend.
Matthew Henry
Image
None shall be saved by Christ but those only who work out their own salvation while God is working in them by His truth and His Holy Spirit. We cannot do without God and God will not do without us.
Matthew Henry
Image
Seducers are more dangerous enemies to the church than persecutors.
Matthew Henry
Image
...When we are waiting upon God to bless us, we should stir up ourselves to bless him.

Not lost, but gone before.
