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.

More quotes by Richard Sibbes
When we grow careless of keeping our souls, then God recovers our taste of good things again by sharp crosses.
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
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
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
If we would make it evident that our conversion is sound, we must loathe and hate sin from the heart.
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
Death is only a grim porter to let us into a stately palace.
Richard Sibbes
It is better to go bruised to heaven than sound to hell.

Christ does not choose you because you are good, but to make you good.
Richard Sibbes
God knows we have nothing of ourselves, therefore in the covenant of grace he requires no more than he gives, but gives what he requires, and accepts what he gives.
Richard Sibbes
that which is begun in self-confidence will end in shame.
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
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
A curse lies upon those that, when the truth suffers, have not a word to defend it.
Richard Sibbes
The way to cover our sin is to uncover it by confession.
Richard Sibbes
The depths of our misery can never fall below the depths of mercy.
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
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.
Richard Sibbes
See a flame in a spark, a tree in a seed. See great things in little beginnings.
Richard Sibbes
Possibilitas tua mensura tua'(What is possible to you is what you will be measured by).
