Quotes by Stephen Charnock
“God lets men run on so far in sin, that they do unman themselves, that he may proclaim to all the world that we are unable to do anything of ourselves at first towards our recovery without a superior principle.”
“Does not God command thee to come to Christ? and is not thy delay a greater act of disobedience than the complaint of thy sinfulness can be of humility?”
“The spirit of man never riseth to its original glory, till it be carried up on the wings of faith and love to its original copy.”
“And man must acknowledge the wisdom and goodness of his Creator, and act in subserviency to his glory, as other creatures act in subserviency to his good.”
“Sinners may plead for grace upon the account of God's glory, viz., the glory God will have by it.”
“As when a physician comes into an house where many are sick, and cures one that is desperate, it is an encouragement to the rest to rely upon his skill.”
