More quotes by Matthew Henry
Blushing is the colour of virtue.
Matthew Henry
He that is in haste may contract much guilt in a little time. What we say or do unadvisedly when we are hot, we must unsay or undo again when we are cool, or do worse.
Matthew Henry
Wherever the fear of God rules in the heart, it will appear both in works of charity and piety, and neither will excuse us from the other.
Matthew Henry
Peace is such a precious jewel that I would give anything for it but truth.
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
Nothing can make a man truly great but being truly good, and partaking of God's holiness.
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
No sooner was the wound given than the remedy was provided and revealed.
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
Meekness is calm confidence, settled assurance, and rest of the soul. It is the tranquil stillness of a soul that is at rest in Christ. It is the place of peace. Meekness springs from a heart of humility, radiating the fragrance of Christ.
Matthew Henry
...When we are waiting upon God to bless us, we should stir up ourselves to bless him.
Matthew Henry
It is not enough for us to be where God is worshipped, if we do not ourselves worship him.
Matthew Henry
Love is the root obedience is the fruit.
Matthew Henry
Those who have a heart to do good, never need complain for want of opportunity.
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
Holy joy will be oil to the wheels of our obedience.
Matthew Henry
To wait on God is to live a life of desire toward Him, delight in Him, dependence on Him, and devotedness to Him.
Matthew Henry
We best oppose error by promoting a solid knowledge of the word of truth, and the greatest kindness we can do to children, is to make them early to know the Bible.
Matthew Henry
What we count the ills of life are often blessings in disguise, resulting in good to us in the end. Though for the present not joyous but grievous, yet, if received in a right spirit, they work out fruits of righteousness for us at last.
Matthew Henry
Whatever we have of this world in our hands, our care must be to keep it out of our hearts, lest it come between us and Christ.
Matthew Henry
