More quotes by 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.
Richard Baxter
Image
Is it but right that our hearts should be on God, when the heart of God is so much on us.
Richard Baxter
Image
Death is half disarmed when the pleasures and interests of the flesh are first denied.
Richard Baxter
Image
Is it not enough that all the world is against us, but we must also be against one another? O happy days of persecution, which drove us together in love, whom the sunshine of liberty and prosperity crumbles into dust by our contentions!

If they can see you love them, you can say anything to them.
Richard Baxter
Image
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
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
Image
To be the people of God without regeneration, is as impossible as to be the children of men without generation.
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.
Richard Baxter
Image
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
Image
Suffering so unbolts the door of the heart, that the Word hath easier entrance.
Richard Baxter
Image
Unity in things Necessary, Liberty in things Unnecessary, and Charity in all.
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.
