O stand amazed at His free grace!

(Thomas Sherman, "Divine Breathings" or, "A Pious Soul Thirsting after Christ")

O precious saint! Three questions call for your answer:
   1. What were you?
   2. What are you?
   3. What shall you be?

1. What were you?
Dead in your transgressions and sins,
a rebel to your God,
a prodigal to your Father,
a slave to your lust,
the devil's captive,
on the highway to Hell!

2. What are you?
Redeemed by Christ,
a royal child of God,
the spouse of Christ,
the temple of the Holy Spirit,
the heir of a priceless eternal inheritance!

3. What shall you be?
A glorious saint,
a companion of angels,
a triumphant victor,
a crowned king,
an attendant on the Lamb,
a participant in those soul-ravishing and ineffable excellencies that are in God!

You shall behold the King of Glory face to face--and enjoy immediate communion with Jesus Christ!

Nay more, you are made one with Him:
  clothed with His excellencies,
  enthroned with His glories,
  crowned with His eternity,
  and filled with His felicity!

"No eye has seen,
 no ear has heard, and
 no mind has imagined . . .
what God has prepared for those who love Him!" 1 Corinthians 2:9

O stand amazed at His free grace--and render all the glory to God!

Miscellaneous pithy gems

Affliction is good, but not pleasant.
Sin is pleasant, but not good.

    ~  ~  ~  ~

We are not sinners because we sin--we sin because we are sinners.

    ~  ~  ~  ~

We fear man so much, because we fear God so little.
It is only the fear of God, that can deliver us from the fear of man.

    ~  ~  ~  ~

Grace is God giving us what we do not deserve--Heaven.
Mercy is God not giving us what we do deserve--Hell.

    ~  ~  ~  ~

We are:
 Sinners by nature.
 Sinners by birth.
 Sinners by choice.

    ~  ~  ~  ~

Our sins will not keep us from Heaven, but our righteousness will!

    ~  ~  ~  ~

There never was anything of false doctrine brought into the church, but either it was by neglecting the Scripture, or by introducing something above the Scripture.

    ~  ~  ~  ~

The more purely God's Word is preached--the more deeply it pierces the heart.

    ~  ~  ~  ~

A man may as well fill a bag with wisdom, as the soul with the world.

    ~  ~  ~  ~

Consider how foolish it is for the children of Heaven to go licking up the dust of this earth!
The woman's seed should not desire the food of the serpent!

    ~  ~  ~  ~

Some are proud of what they are--others of what they are not.

    ~  ~  ~  ~

All men may be divided into two classes:
  the righteous, who know themselves to be sinners,
  lost sinners, who believe themselves to be righteous.

    ~  ~  ~  ~

A door that is almost shut, is open.
A man that is almost honest, is a thief.
A man that is almost saved, is altogether damned!
