More quotes by 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
We are ignorant of things necessary, because we learn things superfluous and unnecessary
Richard Baxter
Image
A man pleaser cannot be true to God, because he is a servant to the enemies of his service the wind of a man's mouth will drive him about as the chaff, from any duty, and to any sin.
Richard Baxter
Image
Hell is paved with infants skulls.
Richard Baxter
Image
This life was not intended to be the place of our perfection, but the preparation for it.
Richard Baxter
Image
An ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow.
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.

Tomorrow is always the sluggard's working day today is his holiday
Richard Baxter
Image
If family religion were duly attended to and properly discharged, I think the preaching of the Word would not be the common instrument of conversion.

Richard Baxter
Image
Christ leads me through no darker rooms than He went through before.
Richard Baxter
Image
I have pain there is no arguing against sense, but I have peace, I have peace.
Richard Baxter
Image
Such is the depth of the Christian Scriptures, that even if I were attempting to study them and nothing else from early boyhood to decrepit old age, with the utmost leisure, the most unwearied zeal, and talents greater than I have, I would be still daily making progress in discovering their treasures.
Richard Baxter
Image
To be the people of God without regeneration, is as impossible as to be the children of men without generation.
Richard Baxter
Image
The very design of the gospel doth tend to self-abasing and the work of grace is begun and carried on in humiliation. Humility is not a mere ornament of a Christian, but an essential part of the new creature: it is a contradiction to be a sanctified man, or a true Christian, and not humble.
Richard Baxter
Image
Do not mathematics and all sciences seem full of contradictions and impossibilities to the ignorant, which are all resolved and cleared to those that understand them?
Richard Baxter
Image
You shall find this to be God's usual course: not to give his children the taste of his delights till they begin to sweat in seeking after them.
Richard Baxter
Image
God takes men's hearty desires and will, instead of the deed, where they have not power to fulfill it but he never took the bare deed instead of the will.
Richard Baxter
Image
Do not waste your time on light, weak, milk­toast ministries and books
Richard Baxter

Death is half disarmed when the pleasures and interests of the flesh are first denied.
