Sit not down without assurance. Get alone, and bring thy heart to the bar of trial force it to answer the interrogatories put to it set the qualifications of the saints on one side, and the qualifications of thy soul on the other side, and then judge what resemblance there is between them.

Tomorrow is always the sluggard's working day today is his holiday
Richard Baxter
Image
Despair of ever being saved, except thou be born again, or of seeing God without holiness, or of having part in Christ except thou love him above father, mother, or thy own life. This kind of despair is one of the first steps to heaven.
Richard Baxter
Image
It is true, that men may have Christ whenever they are willing to comply with His terms. But if you are not willing now, how can you think you shall be willing hereafter?

Richard Baxter
Image
O what a blessed day that will be when I shall . . . stand on the shore and look back on the raging seas I have safely passed when I shall review my pains and sorrows, my fears and tears, and possess the glory which was the end of all!
Richard Baxter
Image
Above all be much in secret prayer and meditation. By this you will fetch the heavenly fire that must kindle your sacrifice: remember you cannot decline and neglect your duty to your own hurt alone, many will be losers by it as well as you.
Richard Baxter
Image
It is as hard a thing to maintain a sound understanding, a tender conscience, a lively, gracious, heavenly spirit, and an upright life in the midst of contention, as to keep your candle lighted in the greatest storms.
Richard Baxter
Image
Is it but right that our hearts should be on God, when the heart of God is so much on us.
Richard Baxter
Image
If you do not see yourselves and all things as living, moving, and having their being in God, you see nothing, whatever you may think you see.
Richard Baxter
Image
For it was thy sin, and the sin of all the world, that lay upon our Redeemer, and his sacrifice and satisfaction is sufficient for all, and the fruits of it are offered to one as well as another, but it is true that it was never the intent of his mind to pardon and save any that would not by faith and repentance be converted.
Richard Baxter
Image
That which once was, will be no more. Yesterday will never come again. To-day is passing, and will not return. You may work while it is day but when you have lost that day, it will not return for you to work in. While your candle burns, you may make use of its light, but when it is done, it is too late to use it.
Richard Baxter
Image
If I were but sure that I should live to see the coming of the Lord, it would be the joyfulest tidings in the world. O that I might see His kingdom come! It is the characteristic of His saints to love His appearing, and to look for that blessed hope. The Spirit and the bride say, Come. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

It is a contradiction to be a sanctified man, or a true christian, and not humble.
Richard Baxter
Image
If life be long, I will be glad, Tthat I may long obey If short, yet why should I be sad, To soar to endless day?
