The Promises of Grace Quotes

“The promise of perseverance substitutes concern for self-preservation with love for God’s purposes.”

“There is no incentive to climb closer to God unless we are sure his love will not let us go. His Word assures us we will not fall, because his affection for us is fixed.”

“In an attic somewhere I have a newspaper given to me by my mother. She saved it when World War II ended. In large, six-inch type the paper’s headline declares, “PEACE.” When the word spread in her Tennessee town that the dying was over, she told me, the people poured out of their homes and businesses to dance in the streets. My mom danced in the streets! Now, that must have been something, because she was raised an old-school Methodist, and they just didn’t do that sort of thing. The explanation is easy. When there was life and peace after so much dying, spontaneous joy had to flow. Overflowing, wondrous, beautiful joy always flows when a war is over.”

“The afflictions we experience do not evidence the absence of divine love, because God uses even this pain for higher purposes in our behalf. The proof is in the cross itself.”
