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
Image
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
Image
We are ignorant of things necessary, because we learn things superfluous and unnecessary
Richard Baxter

Overvalue not therefore the manner of your own worship, and overvilify not other men's of a different mode.
Richard Baxter

When the Son of God comes to rescue us and bring us back to God, He does not find in us the ability to believe.
Richard Baxter
Image
Make careful choice of the books which you read: let the holy Scriptures ever have the preeminence.
Richard Baxter
Image
I must confess, as the experience of my own soul, that the expectation of loving my friends in heaven principally kindles my love to them while on earth.
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.
