"The doctrine of the New Birth is the
foundation of all our hopes for the world to come... My experience has
been this -- that if a man is unsound on this doctrine he will be
unsound on almost every other fundamental doctrine in the Bible... To be
born again is the greatest blessing that will ever come to us in this
world." The Gateway Into The

"I have felt the Spirit of God working in my heart just as
really and as truly as I have felt the wind blowing in my face." The

"The only way to get into the kingdom of
God is to be born into it." The

"You may see many countries, but there is one country -- the
land of Beulah, which John Bunyan saw in vision -- you shall never
behold, unless you are born again -- regenerated by Christ." The

"There is not much hope of a man's being
saved until the fear of God comes upon him." The Thief On The Cross
|
"The idea that because a person does a
thing in the dark it will never be brought to light, is fatal -- God
says it shall be brought to light. It is folly for a man who has
covered his sins to think there shall be no resurrection of them and no
final adjudication." When A Man
Sows, He Expects To Reap

"I don't think a man gains much by
loading himself down with weapons to defend himself... The Word of God
is a much better protection than the revolver. We had better take the
Word of God to protect us, by accepting its teaching, and living out its
precepts." Witnessing In Power

"When Jesus Christ enlists a man in His
service, He shows him the dark side; He lets him know that he must live
a life of self-denial. If a man is not willing to go to heaven by the
way of Calvary, he cannot go at all." The
Christian's Warfare

"My experience is that those who pray
most in their closets generally make short prayers in public. Long
prayers are too often not prayers at all, and they weary the people...
We hear a good deal of praying that is just exhorting, and if you did
not see the man's eyes closed, you would suppose he was preaching."
The Prayers Of The Bible

"Is there any one here who hasn't got
eternal life? I don't like to pass over this, and leave any one outside
the kingdom. If you are not in, my friends, take my advice; don't eat,
or drink, or sleep until you get eternal life." The
Ninety-First Psalm
|
"An old writer said that some books are
to be tasted, some to be swallowed, and some to be chewed and digested.
The Bible is one that you can never exhaust. It is like a bottomless
well: you can always find fresh truths gushing forth from its
pages." Bible Marking

"Some people do not believe in SUDDEN CONVERSION. But I will challenge
any one to show a conversion in the New Testament that was not
instantaneous." The Gateway Into The
Kingdom
|
"Although regeneration or the new birth is
taught so plainly in the third chapter of John, I don’t believe there is
any truth in the whole Bible that there is such great darkness about as
this great truth. There are a great many like the man that saw men as
trees walking. Many Christians do not seem to be clear about this new
birth." The New Birth
|
"My friends, don’t build your hope of heaven upon some profession of
your faith, but bear in mind you must be born of God."
The New Birth
|
"Now, I believe this new birth is
instantaneous." The New Birth
|
"God alone is the author of life; and if you have the new birth, it
must be God’s work... You cannot save yourself... Your souls are dead in
trespasses and sins, and only the Lord Jesus Christ can speak life."
The New Birth

"Regeneration is a new creation; and if it is a
new creation it must be the work of God." The Gateway Into The

|
"Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people... Heaven is filled
with a company of those who have been TWICE BORN." The Gateway Into The

|
"Bear in mind that your eye will never rest upon
the river which bursts out from the Throne of God and flows through the
upper Kingdom, unless you are born again. God has said it; and not man." The Gateway Into The
Kingdom
|
"To the actual Christian, the personality of the Holy Spirit is more
real than any theory science has to offer, for so-called science is but
calculation based on human observation, and is constantly changing its
inferences. But the existence of the Holy Spirit is to the child of God a
matter of Scripture revelation and of actual experience."

"Like the Eternal Son, the Eternal Spirit having
life in Himself, is working out all things after the counsel of His own
will, and for the everlasting glory of the Triune Godhead."

"I think the grandest mistake among ministers is that they are talking
to dead men, that they are talking to men in the flesh instead of men born
of God. Now, let us get them into Christ, and then educate them and build
them up to the highest faith. Let us not try to teach men who are not born
of God." Sudden
Conversion
|
"Why, every conversion recorded in the Bible is
instantaneous, and if preachers tell men conversion is a life work they
are keeping men out of the kingdom of God."
