More quotes by Thomas Brooks
A man's most glorious actions will at last be found to be but glorious sins, if he hath made himself, and not the glory of God, the end of those actions.
Thomas Brooks
There is no such way to attain to greater measures of grace, as for a man to live up to that little grace he has.
Thomas Brooks
God hath in Himself all power to defend you, all wisdom to direct you, all mercy to pardon you, all grace to enrich you, all righteousness to clothe you, all goodness to supply you, and all happiness to crown you.
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
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
Prayer is nothing but the breathing that out before the Lord, that was first breathed into us by the Spirit of the Lord.
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
The least sin should humble the soul, but certainly the greatest sin should never discourage the soul, much less should it work the soul to despair. Despairing Judas perished, whereas the murderers of Christ, believing on Him, were saved.
Thomas Brooks
True repentance includes sorrow for sin and contrition of heart. It breaks the heart with sighs and sobs and groans.
Thomas Brooks
Secret sins commonly lie nearest the heart.
Thomas Brooks
To repent of sin is as great a mark of grace as not to sin.
Thomas Brooks
Till men have faith in Christ, their best services are but glorious sins.
Thomas Brooks
He that will play with Satan's bait, will quickly be taken with Satan's hook.
Thomas Brooks
In a storm there is no shelter like the wings of God.
Thomas Brooks
Satan promises the best, but pays with the worst he promises honor, and pays with disgrace he promises pleasure, and pays with pain he promises profit, and pays with loss, he promises life, and pays with death. But God pays as he promises all his payments are made in pure gold.
Thomas Brooks
Repentance is the vomit of the soul.
Thomas Brooks
Humility makes a man richer than other men, and it makes a man judge himself the poorest among men.
Thomas Brooks
Carnal reason is an enemy to faith: it is ever crossing and contradicting it. It will never be well with thee, Christian, so long as thou art swayed by carnal reason, and you rely more upon thy five senses, than upon the four Evangelists. As the body lives by breathing, so the soul lives by believing.
Thomas Brooks
Faith is the champion of Grace, and Love the nurse but Humility is the beauty of Grace.
Thomas Brooks
If you would have a clear evidence that little love, that little faith, that little zeal, you have is true? Then live up to that love, live up to that faith, live up to that zeal that you have and this will be evidence beyond all contradiction.
