More quotes by Sinclair B. Ferguson
Every day we need our gaze redirected from ourselves to God.
Sinclair B. Ferguson
Remember that you are not saved by increased levels of holiness, however desirable it is that you should reach them. ...It is Christ who saves us-through faith. Your faith is a poor and crumbling thing, as is your spiritual service. Jesus Christ alone is qualified and able to save you because of what He has done.
Sinclair B. Ferguson
The determining factor of my existence is no longer my past.
Sinclair B. Ferguson
God's guidance will require patience on our part. His leading is not usually a direct assurance, a revelation, but His sovereign controlling of the circumstances of our lives, with the Word of God as our rule. It is therefore, inevitable that the unfolding of His purposes will take time - sometimes a very long time.

Regeneration, however it is described, is a divine activity in us, in which we are not the actors but the recipients.
Sinclair B. Ferguson
God made everything else but man after its kind' - that is, according to the purpose and destiny he envisaged for it. But he made man in His own image. Man is patterned on God! He was made to represent God - in created, human form.
Sinclair B. Ferguson
You do not become a master musician by playing just as you please, by imagining that learning the scales is sheer legalism and bondage! No, true freedom in any area of life is the consequence of regular discipline. It is no less true of the life of prayer.
Sinclair B. Ferguson
The jewels of spiritual service are always quarried in the depths of spiritual experience. Never is this more true than in revival. Bend the church and save the people.
Sinclair B. Ferguson
The foundation of worship in the heart is not emotional...it is theological.
Sinclair B. Ferguson
The fear of the Lord tends to take away all other fears... This is the secret of Christian courage and boldness.
Sinclair B. Ferguson
When I look at the cross, I learn to say: 'The Son of God loved me, and gave Himself for me' (Galatians 2:20). I begin to believe with Paul that if God did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up to the cross for me, then He loves me so much He will always give me only what will bring me blessing (Romans 8:32).
Sinclair B. Ferguson
Inerrancy matters because it honors the Spirit, who wants to honor the Son, who wants to honor the Father.
