There is nothing left to us but to see how we may be approved of Him, and how we may roll the weight of our weak souls in well-doing upon Him, who is God omnipotent.
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
Praise God for the hammer, the file, and the furnace. The hammer molds us, the file sharpens us, and the fire tempers us.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Faith's speculations to the worst and hardest, in point of resolution, are sweet.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
The devil is but a whetstone to sharpen the faith and patience of the saints.-
Samuel Rutherford
Image
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
Image
Every day we may see some new thing in Christ. His love hath neither brim nor bottom.
