Coming To Christ: Quotations from Burning Words

It is not to come in any particular way, or with any particular experience, but to arise and come to your Father, and say unto Him, "Father I have sinned against heaven and before Thee, and am no more worthy to be called Thy son; make me as one of Thy hired servants."— H. W. BEECHER

- When you do what the poor weary dove did - when you just betake yourself to the one only ark for safety, the infinite Love will put forth His hand, and draw you in! Into union with Christ! Into renewing grace and supporting strength ! Into peace! Oh! wondrous peace; oh! sweet, satisfying peace; oh! peace of God that passeth understanding!— T. L. CUYLER

"No man can come to Christ except the Father draw him." If he comes asking, that proves he comes drawn.— C. S. ROBINSON

No obstacle can close the kingdom of heaven against him who desires to enter it. ま

No, there are no long stages of preparation through which you must pass; all things are now ready; there is nothing to hinder you from becoming a Christian this very hour. And, if any of you have been trying to make yourself better until you are weary and discouraged in the work, all you have to do is to put it into stronger hands.— W. GLADDEN

Our very unworthiness is our highest preparation for coming to Christ. A starving man can stretch out his hand, and receive the food that is offered to him, just as well as the man who is only a little hungry; and the greatest sinner can take of the water of life, just as well as the man who can say of all the commandments of the Decalogue, "All these have I kept from my youth up."— HENRY DARLING

You are not to come to Christ because you are qualified, but that you may be qualified with whatever you want; and the best qualification you can bring is a deep sense that you have no worth or excellency at all in you.— JOHN FLAVEL

Come, come to Him who made thy heart; Come weary and oppressed; To come to Jesus is thy part; His part, to give thee rest.— GEORGE MACDONALD,

Christ died for the ungodly. And if you turn to Him at this moment with an honest heart, and receive Him simply as your Saviour and your God, I have the authority of His word for telling you that He will in no wise cast out.— D. L. MOODY

153 And, oh, the blessing of "exceeding joy," after following in vain - after inquiring of the great men and learning nothing of the religious men and finding little - to see the star at last resting over the place where "the young child" lies - after groping the way alone, to see the star stand still - to find that religion is a thing far simpler than we thought - that God is near us - that to kneel and adore is the noblest posture of the soul.— F. W. ROBERTSON

No man ever sought Christ with a heart to find Him who did not find Him.— D. L. MOODY

If I ask Him to receive me, Will He say me nay? Not till earth, and not till heaven Pass away.— ST. STEPHEN THE SABAITE

Take the lost sinner's place, and claim the lost sinner's Saviour.— W. PMACKAY

If you would know Christ at all, you must go to Him as a sinful man, or you are shut out from Him altogether.— ALEXANDER MACLAREN

When a man goes thirsty to the well, his thirst is not allayed by merely going there. On the contrary, it is increased by every step he goes. It is by what he draws out of the well that his thirst is satisfied. And just so it is not by the mere bodily exercise of waiting upon ordinances that you will ever come to peace, but by tasting of Jesus in the ordinances, whose flesh is meat indeed, and His blood drink indeed.— ROBERT MCCHEYNE

I saw from that saying, "He that cometh to me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst," that believing and coming was all one; and that he that came, that is, that ran out in his heart and affections after salvation by Christ, he indeed believed in Christ. Then the water stood in mine eyes, and I asked further, "But, Lord, may such a great sinner as I am, be indeed accepted of Thee, and be saved by Thee?" and I heard Him say, "Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." Then I said, "But how, Lord, must I consider of Thee in my coming to Thee, that my faith may be placed aright upon Thee?" Then He said, "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." "He is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." " He died for our sins, and rose again for our justification." "He loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood." "He is Mediator between God and us." "He ever liveth to make intercession for us." From all which I gathered, that I must look for righteousness in His person, and for satisfaction for my sins by His blood; that what He did in obedience to His Father's law, and in submitting to the penalty thereof, was not for Himself, but for him that will accept it for his salvation, and be thankful.— JOHN BUNYAN

You must take a house beside the Physician. It will be a miracle if ye be the first sick that Christ hath put away uncured.— RUTHERFORD

We are to come to Christ. This is the primal duty. The doctrines are but highways that lead to Him. But when we come to Christ we must receive Him as our Saviour.— D. L. MOODY

I know whom I have believed.— BIBLE

What right has a man to ask Jesus to forgive him, when his heart is still burning with hatred or festering with grudges against a fellow-creature ? Confession, to be of any avail, must let go of its hold on the sin confessed.— T. L. CUYLER

Return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.— BIBLE
