Post a Christian Quote

[Papa Smurf]

Hello Everyone, I'm continuing to enjoy reading and being blessed by @Alive's Post a Scripture thread, so I thought that I'd start another, similar one here that focuses on quotes that Christians have made over the years (about God, the Bible, Christian living, etc.) as another means of encouraging one another.

Please don't hesitate to include the Scripture verse or verses that your Christian quote is based on (either the verse/verses themselves, or links to those verses instead), and/or comments about why the quote that you post is particularly meaningful to you (and readers, please don't hesitate to post encouraging thoughts about the quotes, as well, to be a further blessing ).

Finally, if possible, let's try to keep the quotes that we post on the short side. If the quote that you post comes from a larger work (a sermon or a confession or a devotional, etc.), please include a link to the larger work that you've taken it from (if you'd like to) for those who want to read all of it/see where it came from in context/etc.

Thanks

Blessings to all in Christ!!

For just as Jesus was both God and man yet without sin or error, even so the Bible is both divine and human without error.

Proverbs 3:5-6​

 

[ShepherdsPie]

When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

- Psalm 18:2 (NKJV)

[Alive]

Outside of Christ, I am only a sinner, but in Christ, I am saved. Outside of Christ, I am empty; in Christ, I am full. Outside of Christ, I am weak; in Christ, I am strong. Outside of Christ, I cannot; in Christ, I am more than able. Outside of Christ, I have been defeated; in Christ, I am already victorious. How meaningful are the words, "in Christ."
Watchman Nee

 

[Alive]

We think of the Christian life as a ‘changed life’ but it is not that. What God offers us is an ‘exchanged life,’ a ‘substituted life,’ and Christ is our Substitute within.
Watchman Nee

 

[Alive]

Christianity is not a doctrine, not truth as truth, but the knowledge of a Person; it is knowing the Lord Jesus. You cannot be educated into being a Christian.
T. Austin-Sparks

God uses men who are weak and feeble enough to lean on him.

“You contribute nothing to your salvation except the sin that made it necessary.”
― Jonathan Edwards

 

[Carbon]

“The world's theology

The world's theology is easy to define.
It is the view . . .
that human beings are basically good,
that no one is really lost,
that belief in Jesus Christ is not necessary for salvation.

"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools."
Romans 1:22
”
― James Montgomery Boice

"When I look at myself, I don't see how I can be saved. But when I look at Christ, I don't see how I can be lost."
Luther
