More quotes by Richard Baxter

Image
It is not a terrible thing to a wretched soul, when it shall lie roaring perpetually in the flames of hell, and the God of mercy himself shall laugh at them when...God shall mock them instead of relieving them when none in heaven or earth can help them but God, and he shall rejoice over them in their calamity
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
I preached as never sure to preach again, And as a dying man to dying men.

It is a contradiction to be a sanctified man, or a true christian, and not humble.

'Tis hard preaching a stone into tears, or making a rock to tremble.
Richard Baxter
Image
I tell you again, God hath not ordinarily decreed the end without the means and if you will neglect the means of salvation, it is a certain mark that God hath not decreed you to salvation. But you shall find that He hath left you no excuse, because He hath not thus predestined you.

Sinners, hear and consider, if you wilfully condemn your souls to bestiality, God will condemn them to perpetual misery.
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
The longer you delay, the more your sin gets strength and rooting. If you cannot bend a twig, how will you be able to bend it when it is a tree?
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
Suffering so unbolts the door of the heart, that the Word hath easier entrance.
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
Overvalue not therefore the manner of your own worship, and overvilify not other men's of a different mode.
Richard Baxter
Image
I take the love of God and self-denial to be the sum of all saving grace and religion.
Richard Baxter
Image
Prayer is the breath of the new creature.
Richard Baxter
Image
Death is half disarmed when the pleasures and interests of the flesh are first denied.
Richard Baxter
Image
It is not the reading of many books which is necessary to make a man wise or good but well reading of a few.
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.
