More quotes by 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
Men cannot expect to do ill and fare well, but to find that done to them which they did to others.
Matthew Henry
We have no sufficient strength of our own. All our sufficiency is of God. We should stir up ourselves to resist temptations in a reliance upon God's all-sufficiency and the omnipotence of his might.
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
We should take heed of pride it is a sin that turned angels into devils.
Matthew Henry
The grace that saves them is the free undeserved goodness and favor of God.
Matthew Henry
Love is the root obedience is the fruit.
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
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
Not lost, but gone before.
Matthew Henry
The more reverence we have for the Word of God, the more joy we shall find in it.
Matthew Henry
It is common for those that are farthest from God, to boast themselves most of their being near to the Church.
Matthew Henry
Those that forget to attend God with their praises may perhaps be compelled to attend him with their prayers.
Matthew Henry
Pure Christianity and serious godliness fear not the scrutiny of a free thought, but despise the impotent malice of a prejudiced one.
Matthew Henry
None are sent empty away from Christ but those who come to him full of themselves.
Matthew Henry
None can know their election but by their conformity to the image of Christ for all that are chosen are chosen to sanctification.
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
When we are calling to God to turn the eye of His favor towards us He is calling to us to turn the eye of our obedience towards Him.
Matthew Henry
ThanksGiving is good but ThanksLiving is better.
Matthew Henry
We must believe that He is able to do what He will, wise to do what is best, and good, according to His promise, to do what is best for us, if we love Him, and serve Him.
Matthew Henry
