More quotes by Samuel Rutherford
I find it most true that the greatest temptation outside of hell is to live without temptations if water stands, it rots faith is the better for the sharp winter storm in its face and grace withers without adversity. The devil is but God's master fencer to teach us to handle our weapons.
Samuel Rutherford
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
My Lord Jesus has fully recompensed my sadness with his joys, my losses with his own presence. I find it a sweet and rich thing to exchange my sorrows with Christ's joys, my afflictions with that sweet peace I have with himself.
Samuel Rutherford
When the supreme magistrate will not execute the judgment of the Lord, those who made him supreme magistrate, under God, who have under God, sovereighn liberty to dispose of crowns and kingdoms, are to execute the judgment of the Lord, when wicked men make the law of God of none effect.
Samuel Rutherford

Samuel Rutherford
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
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
I urge you a nearer communion with Christ, and a growing communion. There are curtains to be opened in Christ that we have never seen before... Therefore dig deep, and sweat, and labor. Take pains for Him, and set aside as much time as you can in each day for Him.
Samuel Rutherford
Grow as a palm-tree on God's Mount Zion howbeit shaken with winds, yet the root is fast.
Samuel Rutherford
I wonder many times that ever a child of God should have a sad heart, considering what their Lord is preparing for them.
Samuel Rutherford
The bloom fell off my branches and joy did cast off its flower
Samuel Rutherford
Desires going before conversion are not such as can calm a storming conscience.
Samuel Rutherford
Christ seeketh your help in your place give Him your hand.
Samuel Rutherford
Christ chargeth me to believe His daylight at midnight.
Samuel Rutherford
Ye have lost a child--nay, she is not lost to you, who is found to Christ she is not sent away, but only sent before like unto a star, which going out of our sight, doth not die and vanish, but shineth in another hemisphere.
Samuel Rutherford
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
The secret formula of the saints: When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord's choicest wines.
Samuel Rutherford
The devil is but a whetstone to sharpen the faith and patience of the saints.-
