- EDWARDS, JONATHAN 1703-1758
"Christian Knowledge"
"Every Christian should make a business of endeavoring to grow in knowledge in divinity.-This is
indeed esteemed the business of divines and ministers: it is commonly thought to be their work,
by the study of the Scriptures, and other instructive books, to gain knowledge; and most seem to
think that it may be left to them, as what belongeth not to others. But if the apostle had
entertained this notion, he would never have blamed the Christian Hebrews for not having
acquired knowledge enough to be teachers. Or if he had thought, that this concerned Christians in
general only as a thing by the by, and that their time should not in a considerable measure
be taken up with this business; he never would have so much blamed them, that their proficiency
in knowledge had not been answerable to the time which they had had to
learn."
- EDWARDS, JONATHAN 1703-1758
"Christians A Chosen Generation. A Royal Priesthood, A Holy Nation, A Peculiar
People"
"As God distinguished the people of Israel of old from all other nations, so he distinguishes
true Christians."
- EDWARDS, JONATHAN 1703-1758
"God Glorified In Man's Dependence"
"'God is glorified in the work of redemption in this, that there appears in it so absolute and
universal a dependence of the redeemed on him.' -- Here I propose to show, 1st, That
there is an absolute and universal dependence of the redeemed on God for all their good. And,
2dly, That God hereby is exalted and glorified in the work of
redemption."
- EDWARDS, JONATHAN 1703-1758
"True Saints, When Absent From The Body, Are Present With The Lord"
"Among the many useful observations there might be raised from the text, I shall at this time
only insist on that which lies most plainly before us in the words, viz., this: The souls of true
saints, when they leave their bodies at death, go to be with Christ."
- HODGE, CHARLES 1797-1878
"Christianity Without Christ"
"In another sense, Christianity is that state of one's mind produced by faith in the truths revealed
concerning Christ. In this sense, Christianity without Christ is an impossibility. It would be an
effect without its proximate cause. Nevertheless, there is a form of religion, widespread and
influential, which is called Christianity, in which Christ fails to occupy the position assigned to him
in the Bible."
- MacARTHUR, JOHN F. 1939
"The Believer And Indwelling Sin"
Sermon 1 - Romans 7:14-17
Sermon 2 - Romans 7:18-25
"I believe that when an individual comes to Jesus Christ, there is planted
within that individual a new creation, a new nature, a new essence, a new self,
a new man. And that the great heartbeat and passion and cry of that new
creation is a longing for the things of God. And over against that, a
resentment and a hatred of sin. And that indeed is the spirit of the Apostle
Paul as he writes in our text, look at it, beginning at verse 14..."
- MACHEN, J. GRESHAM 1881-1937
"What Is Christianity?"
"Was Christianity at the beginning in that sense a life as distinguished from a doctrine? At this
point we desire to be perfectly clear. Christianity at the beginning certainly was a life, about that
there can be no manner of doubt. The first Christians led lives very different from the lives of the
people about them, and everything that did not conform to that peculiarly Christian type of life
was rigidly excluded from the early Church. Let us be perfectly plain about that."
- OWEN, JOHN 1616-1683
"Gospel Grounds And Evidences Of The Faith Of God's Elect"
"Now, the root whereon all real comforts do grow, whence they spring and arise, is true and
saving faith, the faith of God's elect. What are the principal acts and operations of faith, whereby
it will evidence its truth and sincerity in the midst of all temptations and storms that may befall
believers in this world?"
URSINUS, ZACHARIAS 1534-1583
"Christian Perfectionism - Whether The Regenerate Can Keep The Law
Perfectly"
"But the law is impossible to the regenerate in respect to God, or the perfect internal and external
obedience which it requires. 1. Because the regenerate do not fulfill the law perfectly, but do
many things in opposition to it. 2. Because even those things which they do according to the law,
are imperfect; for there are still many sins remaining, in the regenerate, as original sin, and many
actual sins, neglects, omissions and infirmities, which sins the godly acknowledge and bewail in
themselves."
WARFIELD, BENJAMIN B. 1851-1921
"Faith & Life" - Theological Distinctions
"The truth is that the world, even in this generation, is made up of a good many people; and a
good many varying points of view may be found represented among them. Some are very
impatient of theological distinctions, and some are very patient of them: the most are patient to a
fault with those they themselves wish to make, and quite impatient of those made by others. The
fact is, of course, that everybody makes and must make theological distinctions. Men differ only
as they make sound or unsound distinctions, and through these distinctions embrace and live by
truth or error.
WHITEFIELD, GEORGE 1714-1770
"The Indwelling Of The Spirit, The Common Privilege Of All
Believers"
"Judge ye then, whether it is not high time for the true ministers of Jesus, who have been made
partakers of this heavenly gift, to lift up their voices like a trumpet; and if they would not have
those souls perish, for which the Lord Jesus has shed his precious blood, to declare, with all
boldness, that the Holy Spirit is the common privilege and portion of all believers in all ages; and
that we as well as the first Christians, must receive the Holy Ghost, before we can be truly called
the children of God."
WHITEFIELD, GEORGE 1714-1770
"Marks Of A True Conversion"
The Lord, therefore, plainly tells us, what great change must be wrought in us, and what must be
done for us, before we can have any well grounded hopes of entering into the kingdom of heaven.
Hence, he tells Nicodemus, "that unless a man be born again, and from above, and unless a man
be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of
God."
WHITFIELD, GEORGE 1714-1770
"Marks Of Having Received The Holy Ghost"
It is not, indeed, necessary that we should have the Spirit now given in that miraculous manner, in
which he was at first given to our Lord's Apostles, by signs and wonders, but it is absolutely
necessary, that we should receive the Holy Ghost in his sanctifying graces, as really as they did:
and so will it continue to be till the end of the world.
