Just as one gets the firstfruits of spiritual salvation in the life that now is, so we get the firstfruits of our physical salvation in the life that now is.
R. A. Torrey -
If we think of the Holy Spirit only as an impersonal power or influence, then our thought will constantly be, how can I get hold of and use the Holy Spirit; but if we think of Him in the biblical way as a divine Person, infinitely wise, infinitely holy, infinitely tender, then our thought will constantly be, 'How can the Holy Spirit get hold of and use me?'

Every Christian who does not study, really study, the Bible every day is a fool.
R. A. Torrey -
We are not saved by denying self, or taking up our cross, or doing anything else, we are saved by simply believing in Jesus.
R. A. Torrey -
The Spirit, when He prays through us, or helps us to meet the mighty "ougthness" of right praying, trims our praying down to the will of God.
R. A. Torrey -
If you make a great deal of Christ, He will make a great deal of you; but if you make but a little of Christ, Christ will make but a little of you.
R. A. Torrey -
There are two ways of reaching the people. One way is to invite them to come to you, the other way is to go to them.
R. A. Torrey -
We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power.
R. A. Torrey

The truly wise man is he who believes the Bible against the opinions of any man. If the Bible says one thing, and any body of men says another, the wise man will decide, "This book is the Word of him who cannot lie".
R. A. Torrey -
If we would pray aright, the first thing we should do is to see to it that we really get an audience with God, that we really get into His very presence. Before a word of petition is offered, we should have the definite consciousness that we are talking to God, and should believe that He is listening and is going to grant the thing that we ask of Him.
R. A. Torrey -
I prayed fifteen years for the conversion of my oldest brother. When he seemed to be getting further and further away from any hope of conversion, I prayed on.
