More quotes by Samuel Rutherford

Image
When the race is ended, and the play is either won or lost, and ye are in the utmost circle and border of time, and shall put your foot within the march of eternity, all the good things of your short nightdream shall seem to you like ashes of a blaze of thorns or straw.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
We take nothing to the grave with us, but a good or evil conscience... It is true, terrors of conscience cast us down and yet without terrors of conscience we cannot be raised up again.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Be not cast down. If ye saw Him who is standing on the shore, holding out His arms to welcome you to land, ye would wade, not only through a sea of wrongs, but through hell itself to be with Him.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
See that you buy the field where the Pearl is sell all, and make a purchase of salvation. Think it not easy: for it is a steep ascent to eternal glory: many are lying dead by the way, slain with security.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Why should I tremble at the plough of my Lord, that maketh deep furrows on my soul? I know He is no idle husbandman, He purposeth a crop.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
There is nothing that will make you a Christian indeed, but a taste of the sweetness of Christ.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Show yourself a Christian by suffering without murmuring. In patience possess your soul - they lose nothing who gain Christ.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
They lose nothing who gain Christ.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
I think it is possible on earth to build a young, new Jerusalem, a little, new heaven of this surpassing love. God, either send me more of this love, or take me quickly over the water, where I may be filled with his love.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
The hope of heaven under troubles is like wind and sails to the soul.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
He who duly esteemeth Christ, is a noble bidder, and so a noble and liberal buyer.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
I assure you by the Lord, your adversaries shall get no advantage against you, except you sin, and offend your Lord, in your sufferings.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
It is in some respect greater love in Jesus to sanctify than to justify, for He maketh us most like Himself, in His own essential portraiture and image in sanctifying us.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
You must take a house beside the Physician. It will be a miracle if ye be the first sick that Christ hath put away uncured.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Since He looked upon me my heart is not my own. He hath runaway to heaven with it.
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
Image
Every man by nature is a freeman born by nature no man cometh out of the womb under any civil subjection to king, prince, or judge.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Set not your heart upon the world, since God hath not made it your portion.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
The weightiest end of the cross of Christ that is laid upon you, lieth upon your strong Savior.
