“The
growth of grace is like the polishing of metals. There is first an opaque
surface; by and by you see a spark darting out, then a strong light; till at
length it sends back a perfect image of the sun that shines upon it.” -Edward
Payson
“The
motive and purpose behind the law ... is to make it clear exactly how much you
must do and no more. Grace refuses to put a ceiling or a floor on concern for
the neighbor.” -Joseph Fletcher
“Grace
is given to heal the spiritually sick, not to decorate spiritual heroes” -Martin
Luther
“The
grace of the spirit comes only from heaven, and lights up the whole bodily
presence. - Charles Haddon Spurgeon
“Christ
is no Moses, no exactor, no giver of laws, but a giver of grace, a Savior; he
is infinite mercy and goodness, freely and bountifully given to us.” -Martin
Luther
“Grace
can pardon our ungodliness and justify us with Christ's righteousness; it can
put the Spirit of Jesus Christ within us; it can help us when we are down; it
can heal us when we are wounded; it can multiply pardons, as we through frailty
multiply transgressions.” -John Bunyan
“Grace
grows best in winter.” -Samuel Rutherford
“Grace
comes into the soul, as the morning sun into the world; first a dawning, then a
light; and at last the sun in his full and excellent brightness.” -Thomas Adams
