More quotes by Richard Baxter

Richard Baxter
Is it but right that our hearts should be on God, when the heart of God is so much on us.
Richard Baxter
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
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
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

Richard Baxter
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
A foolish physician he is, and a most unfaithful friend, that will let a sick man die for fear of troubling him and cruel wretches are we to our friends, that will rather suffer them to go quietly to hell, then we will anger them, or hazard our reputation with them.
Richard Baxter
You are not likely to see any general reformation, till you procure family reformation.
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
Prayer must carry on our work as much as preaching he preacheth not heartily to his people that will not pray for them.
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
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
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
We must study as hard how to live well as how to preach well.
Richard Baxter
Suffering so unbolts the door of the heart, that the Word hath easier entrance.
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.
Richard Baxter
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
'Tis hard preaching a stone into tears, or making a rock to tremble.
Richard Baxter
