More quotes by Samuel Rutherford

Image
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.

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
No created powers can mar our Lord Jesus' music, nor spill our song of joy. Let us then be glad and rejoice in the salvation of our Lord

The cross of Christ is the sweetest burden that I ever bore it is such a burden as wings are to a bird, or sails to a ship, to carry me forward to my harbor.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
There is nothing that will make you a Christian indeed, but a taste of the sweetness of Christ.
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.
