More quotes by Richard Sibbes
Possibilitas tua mensura tua'(What is possible to you is what you will be measured by).
Richard Sibbes
A man may be a false prophet and yet speak the truth.
Richard Sibbes
What is the gospel itself but a merciful moderation, in which Christ's obedience is esteemed ours, and our sins laid upon him, wherein God, from being a judge, becomes our Father, pardoning our sins and accepting our obedience, though feeble and blemished? We are now brought to heaven under the covenant of grace by a way of love and mercy.
Richard Sibbes
God will have the body partake with the soul-as in matters of grief, so in matters of joy the lanthorn shines in the light of the candle within.
Richard Sibbes
Self-emptiness prepares us for spiritual fullness.
Richard Sibbes
If we would make it evident that our conversion is sound, we must loathe and hate sin from the heart.
Richard Sibbes
that which is begun in self-confidence will end in shame.
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
The life of a Christian is wondrously ruled in this world, by the consideration and meditation of the life of another world.
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
Poverty and affliction take away the fuel that feeds pride.
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
What coward would not fight when he is sure of victory?
Richard Sibbes
Times are bad, God is good.
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
Providence is the perpetuity and continuance of creation.
Richard Sibbes
Whatsoever God takes away from His children, He either replaces it with a much greater favor or else gives strength to bear it.
Richard Sibbes
God's truth always agrees with itself.
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
In the godly, holy truths are conveyed by way of a taste gracious men have a spiritual palate as well as a spiritual eye. Grace alters the spiritual taste.
Richard Sibbes
