The whole life of a Christian should be nothing but praises and thanks to God we should neither eat nor sleep, but eat to God and sleep to God and work to God and talk to God, do all to His glory and praise.

More quotes by Richard Sibbes
It is atheism to pray and not wait on hope.
Richard Sibbes
The love of a wife to her husband may begin from the supply of her necessities, but afterwards she may also love his person: so the soul first loves Christ for salvation, but when it is brought to him, and finds what sweetness there is in him, then the soul loves him for himself, and esteems his person, as well as rejoices in his benefits.
Richard Sibbes
God's truth always agrees with itself.
Richard Sibbes
Death is only a grim porter to let us into a stately palace.
Richard Sibbes
When we go to God by prayer, the devil knows we go to fetch strength against him, and therefore he opposes us all he can.
Richard Sibbes
If we would make it evident that our conversion is sound, we must loathe and hate sin from the heart.
Richard Sibbes
Gospel repentance is not a little hanging down of the head. It's a working of the heart until your sin becomes more odious to you than any punishment for it.
Richard Sibbes
Possibilitas tua mensura tua'(What is possible to you is what you will be measured by).
Richard Sibbes
Let weak Christians know that a spark from heaven, though kindled under green wood that sobs and smokes, yet it will consume all at last.
Richard Sibbes
There are no men more careful of the use of means than those that are surest of a good issue and conclusion, for the one stirs up diligence in the other. Assurance of the end stirs up diligence in the means. For the soul of a believing Christian knows that God has decreed both.
Richard Sibbes
See here, for our comfort, a sweet agreement of all three persons: the Father giveth a commission to Christ the Spirit furnisheth and sanctifieth to it Christ himself executeth the office of a Mediator. Our redemption is founded upon the joint agreement of all three persons of the Trinity.
Richard Sibbes
Therefore, when we find our heart inflamed with love to God, we may know that God hath shined upon our souls in the pardon of sin and proportionally to our measure of love is our assurance of pardon. Therefore we should labour for a greater measure thereof, that our hearts may be the more inflamed in the love of God.
Richard Sibbes
Providence is the perpetuity and continuance of creation.
Richard Sibbes
The tenets of [the Christian life] seem paradoxes to carnal men as first, that a Christian is the only freeman, and other men are slaves that he is the only rich man, though never so poor in the world that he is the only beautiful man, though outwardly never so deformed that he is the only happy man in the midst of all his miseries.
Richard Sibbes
Times are bad, God is good.
Richard Sibbes
When we grow careless of keeping our souls, then God recovers our taste of good things again by sharp crosses.
Richard Sibbes
A man may be a false prophet and yet speak the truth.
Richard Sibbes
Satan gives Adam an apple, and takes away paradise. Therefore in all temptations consider not what he offers, but what we shall lose.
Richard Sibbes
We cannot say this or that trouble shall not befall, yet we may, by help of the Spirit, say, nothing that doth befall shall make me do that which is unworthy of a Christian.
Richard Sibbes
Christ does not choose you because you are good, but to make you good.
