The Gospel of John (Arthur Pink Collection Book 29)

by Arthur W. Pink

Law manifested what was in Man-sin; Grace manifests what is in God-Love.

Law sentences a living man to death; Grace brings a dead man to life.

there is no unacceptable time for a sinner to seek the Savior.

It is only the grace of God which can subdue the old nature; and it is only the Word of God which can feed the new nature.

Faith is occupied not with the manner in which you held out your hand to receive God’s gift, but with Christ Himself! But unbelief is occupied with the "how" rather than with the "whom."

An orthodox creed, intellectually apprehended, counts for nothing if it fails to mould the life of the one professing it.

Resurrection can be displayed only where death has come in, and what is so much emphasized here is the desolation which death brings and man’s helplessness in the presence of it.

Our daily contact with the evil all around causes the dust of defilement to settle upon us so that the mirror of our conscience is dimmed and the spiritual affections of our heart are dulled.

We need to come afresh into the presence of Christ in order to learn what things really are, surrendering ourselves to His judgment in everything,

The faith by which we are saved does not destroy the necessity for an obedient walk.

When love for the Savior shall lead us to keep His holy Word—lead us to an immediate, unreserved, unhesitating obedience—lead us to say, in the spirit of entire self-surrender and sacrifice, ‘Thy will, not mine, be done,’ then, farewell to doubt and darkness, to loneliness and sorrow!

Dwelling upon our poor, fluctuating love for Him, will make us miserable; but having the heart fixed upon His wondrous love, that love which "passeth knowledge,"

If we cease to pray, we are likely to cease to rejoice—we must ‘pray without ceasing’ that we may ‘rejoice evermore’: and were we, instead of being anxious, careful, and troubled about many things, to ‘be anxious about nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, make our requests known unto God,

The Father does not love us because Christ intercedes for us; but Christ intercedes for us because we are the objects of the Father’s special love.
