What God requires of us he himself works in us, or it is not done. He that commands faith, holiness, and love, creates them by the power of his grace going along with his word, that he may have all the praise.

More quotes by Matthew Henry
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.
Matthew Henry
Come, and see the victories of the cross. Christ's wounds are thy healings, His agonies thy repose, His conflicts thy conquests, His groans thy songs, His pains thine ease, His shame thy glory, His death thy life, His sufferings thy salvation.
Matthew Henry
So great was the extremity of his pain and anguish, that he did not only sigh but roar.
Matthew Henry
That which God plants he will take care to keep watered.
Matthew Henry
What harrowing is after sowing, the same is meditation after hearing--it hides the word.
Matthew Henry
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
Tears are a tribute to our deceased friends. When the body is sown, it must be watered. But we must not sorrow as those that have no hope for we have a good hope through grace both concerning them and concerning ourselves.

Conscience is that candle of the Lord which was not quite put out.
Matthew Henry
Those that go gold into the furnace will come out no worse.
Matthew Henry
Man takes a great deal of pains to heap up riches, and they are but like heaps of manure in the furrows of the field, good for nothing unless they be spread.
Matthew Henry
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
Those, and those only, can expect to be taught by God, who are ready and willing to do as they are taught... Those who go up to the house of the Lord with an expectation that He will teach them His ways, must go with a humble resolution that they will walk in His paths.
Matthew Henry
The service of sin is perfect slavery.
Matthew Henry
Do nothing till thou hast well considered the end of it.
Matthew Henry
Our creature comforts
Matthew Henry
Though we cannot by our prayers give God any information, yet we must by our prayers give him honor.
Matthew Henry
Take Jesus for your king, and by baptism swear allegiance to him take him for your prophet, and hear him take him for your priest, to make atonement for you.
Matthew Henry
Scriptures were written, not to satisfy our curiosity and make us astronomers, but to lead us to God, and make us saints.
Matthew Henry
There is a burden of care in getting riches fear in keeping them temptation in using them guilt in abusing them sorrow in losing them and a burden of account at last to be given concerning them.
Matthew Henry
