More quotes by Matthew Henry
The first lesson in Christ's school is self-denial.
Matthew Henry
Blushing is the colour of virtue.
Matthew Henry
No creature hath the like resemblance to the divine nature, as light hath. He doth not only dwell in light, but he is light. Light is a pure, bright, clear, spiritual, unmixed substance. God is infinitely so.
Matthew Henry
God's promises are to be our pleas in prayer.
Matthew Henry
Our creature comforts
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
As if men did not die fast enough, they are ingenious at finding out ways to destroy one another.
Matthew Henry
Shallows where a lamb could wade and depths where an elephant would drown.
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
God's favour is happiness.
Matthew Henry
Everlasting life is a jewel of too great a value to be purchased by the wealth of this world.
Matthew Henry
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
The God of Israel is sometimes a God who hides Himself, but never a God who absents Himself sometimes in the dark, but never at a distance.
Matthew Henry
The best we can say to God in prayer, is what He has said to us.
Matthew Henry
They that die by famine die by inches.
Matthew Henry
God's Word must be the guide of your desires and the ground of your expectations in prayer.
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
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
No sooner was the wound given than the remedy was provided and revealed.
Matthew Henry
None live so easily, so pleasantly, as those that live by faith.
Matthew Henry
