More quotes by Thomas Brooks
Our sins are debts that none can pay but Christ. It is not our tears, but His blood it is not our sighs, but His sufferings, that can testify for our sins. Christ must pay all, or we are prisoners forever.
Thomas Brooks
Secret sins commonly lie nearest the heart.
Thomas Brooks
It is not he who knows most, nor he who hears most, nor yet he who talks most, but he who exercises grace most, who has most communion with God.
Thomas Brooks
He that will play with Satan's bait, will quickly be taken with Satan's hook.
Thomas Brooks
God's hearing of our prayers doth not depend upon sanctification, but upon Christ's intercession not upon what we are in ourselves, but what' we are in the Lord Jesus both our persons and our prayers are acceptable in the beloved [Eph 1.6].
Thomas Brooks
Nothing humbles and breaks the heart of a sinner like mercy and love. Souls that converse much with sin and wrath, may be much terrified but souls that converse much with grace and mercy, will be much humbled.
Thomas Brooks
Every thing that a man leans upon but God, will be a dart that will certainly pierce his heart through and through. He who leans only upon Christ, lives the highest, choicest, safest, and sweetest life.
Thomas Brooks
Every man obeys Christ as he prizes Christ, and no otherwise.
Thomas Brooks
God hears no more than the heart speaks and if the heart be dumb, God will certainly be deaf.
Thomas Brooks
Repentance is the vomit of the soul.
Thomas Brooks
Saints spring and thrive most internally, when they are most externally afflicted. Afflictions are the mother of virtue.
Thomas Brooks
It is the very nature of grace to make a man strive to be most eminent in that particular grace which is most opposed to his bosom sin.
Thomas Brooks
Grace and glory differ very little the one is the seed, the other is the flower grace is glory militant, glory is grace triumphant.
Thomas Brooks
Humility makes a man richer than other men, and it makes a man judge himself the poorest among men.
Thomas Brooks
When God's hand is on thy back, let thy hand be on thy mouth, for though the affliction be sharp it shall be but short.
Thomas Brooks
It is better to have a sore than a seared conscience.
Thomas Brooks
There is no such way to get much grace, as to be thankful for a little grace. He who opens his mouth wide in praise, shall have his heart lled with graces. Ingratitude stops the ear of God, and shuts the hand of God, and turns away the heart of the God of grace and therefore we had need to be thankful for a little grace.
Thomas Brooks
Deliver me, O Lord, from that evil man, myself.
Thomas Brooks
Satan often paints sin with virtue's colors.
Thomas Brooks
Christ is the sun, and all the watches of our lives should be set by the dial of his motion.
