Grace Quotes
-
We do not make friends with God; God makes friends with us, bringing us to know him by making his love known to us... The word know, when used of God in this way, is a sovereign-grace word, pointing to God's initiative in loving, choosing, redeeming, calling and preserving.
J. I. Packer
-
When God has not taken away our trouble or temptation yet, with His grace in our lives, we are content.
T. B. Joshua
-
Grace is always natural, though that does not prevent its being often used to hide a lie. The rude shocks and uncomfortably constraining influences of life disappear among graceful women and poetical men; they are the most deceptive beings in creation; distrust and doubt cannot stand before them; they create what they imagine; if they do not lie to others, they do to their own hearts; for illusion is their element, fiction their vocation, and pleasures in appearance their happiness. Beware of grace in woman, and poetry in man -- weapons the more dangerous because the least dreaded!
Marquis De Custine
-
I really do believe that God is love, one of deep affection and grace and forgiveness and inspiration.
William P. Young
-
But the tender grace of a day that is dead Will never come back to me.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
-
Beauty, alone, may please, not captivate; if lacking grace, 'tis but a hookless bait.
Bill Vaughan
-
When the Bible uses the words salvation, Savior, and save, it's speaking of the total work of God in bringing people from a state of death - hopeless separation from God - to a state of everlasting life through the forgiveness of sin, based on the merits of Christ Jesus who died and rose again. Saving us is the greatest and most concrete demonstration of God's love, the definitive display of His grace throughout time and eternity.
David Jeremiah
-
We'll fill our lives with what we cultivate the most. Plant grace by the acre.
Bob Goff
-
Beauty without grace is the hook without the bait.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
-
Only through repentance do we gain access to the atoning grace of Jesus Christ.
D. Todd Christofferson
-
Acquire the art of detachment, the virtue of method, and the quality of thoroughness, but above all the grace of humility.
William Osler
-
So, the gods don't hand out all their gifts at once, not build and brains and flowing speech to all. One man may fail to impress us with his looks but a god can crown his words with beauty, charm, and men look on with delight when he speaks out. Never faltering, filled with winning self-control, he shines forth at assembly grounds and people gaze at him like a god when he walks through the streets. Another man may look like a deathless one on high but there's not a bit of grace to crown his words. Just like you, my fine, handsome friend.
Homer
