More quotes by Richard Baxter
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.
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
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
This life was not intended to be the place of our perfection, but the preparation for it.
Richard Baxter
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.
Richard Baxter

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
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
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
We are ignorant of things necessary, because we learn things superfluous and unnecessary
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
Life is short, and we are dull, and eternal things are necessary, and the souls that depend on our teaching are precious.
Richard Baxter
Tomorrow is always the sluggard's working day today is his holiday
Richard Baxter
Suffering so unbolts the door of the heart, that the Word hath easier entrance.
Richard Baxter
I preached as never sure to preach again, And as a dying man to dying men.
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
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
You are not likely to see any general reformation, till you procure family reformation.
