More quotes by Richard Baxter
Prayer is the breath of the new creature.
Richard Baxter
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.
Richard Baxter
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
To be the people of God without regeneration, is as impossible as to be the children of men without generation.
Richard Baxter
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
It is a contradiction to be a sanctified man, or a true christian, and not humble.
Richard Baxter
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
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?
Richard Baxter
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
Make careful choice of the books which you read: let the holy Scriptures ever have the preeminence.
Richard Baxter
I have pain there is no arguing against sense, but I have peace, I have peace.
Richard Baxter
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
Sinners, hear and consider, if you wilfully condemn your souls to bestiality, God will condemn them to perpetual misery.
Richard Baxter
Paganism attributes the creation of the world to blind chance.
Richard Baxter
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
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
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
An ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow.
Richard Baxter
Never does sin so reign in the Church or State, as when it has gained reputation,or, at least, is no disgrace to the sinner,nor is a matter od offence to we who behold it.
Richard Baxter
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.
