More quotes by Samuel Rutherford
Set not your heart upon the world, since God hath not made it your portion.
Samuel Rutherford
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
Every day we may see some new thing in Christ. His love hath neither brim nor bottom.
Samuel Rutherford
Christ seeketh your help in your place give Him your hand.
Samuel Rutherford

Samuel Rutherford
We are as near to heaven as we are far from self, and far from the love of a sinful world.
Samuel Rutherford
If Christ Jesus be the periode, the end and the lodging-home at the end of your journey, there is no fear ye go to a friend . . . ye may look death in the face with joy.
Samuel Rutherford
The night will close the door & fasten my anchor within the veil and I shall go away to sleep.
Samuel Rutherford
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
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
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
The good Husbandman may pluck His rose & gather in His lily.
Samuel Rutherford
Jesus Christ came into my prison cell last night, and every stone flashed like a ruby.
Samuel Rutherford
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
I see Christ's love is so kingly, that it will not abide a marrow it must have a throne all alone in the soul.
Samuel Rutherford
It is certain that this is not only good which the Almighty has done, but that it is best He hath reckoned all your steps to heaven.
Samuel Rutherford
The great Master Gardener, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, in a wonderful providence, with his own hand, planted me here, where by his grace, in this part of his vineyard, I grow and here I will abide till the great Master of the vineyard think fit to transplant me.
Samuel Rutherford
Grow as a palm-tree on God's Mount Zion howbeit shaken with winds, yet the root is fast.
