When I look to my guiltiness, I see that my salvation is one of our Saviour's greatest miracles, either in heaven or earth.
Samuel Rutherford

Christ and His cross are not separable in this life, howbeit Christ and His cross part at heaven's door, for there is no house-room for crosses in heaven. One tear, one sigh, one sad heart, one fear, one loss, one thought of trouble cannot find lodging there.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
He who duly esteemeth Christ, is a noble bidder, and so a noble and liberal buyer.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Consider, it is impossible that your idol sins and you can go to heaven together and that those who will not part with these do not indeed love Christ at the bottom, but only in word and show, which will not do the business.
Samuel Rutherford
