Inspirational Quotes by Warren Wiersbe
“The suretyship of Jesus is the assurance that God will keep his salvation covenant with his people. God has made a covenant of grace with us through the Lord Jesus Christ. “By so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant” (Heb. 7:22). Salvation isn’t the result of some kind of an agreement between sinners and God. It’s the result of an eternal covenant between the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. Because of this eternal covenant, salvation involves all three Persons in the Godhead (Eph. 1:3–14; 1 Peter 1:2).”
“Everything in the Book of the Revelation relates to the Lamb. The throne is the throne of the Lamb (22:1) and the heavenly city is the temple of the Lamb (21:22). The light in the city is the Lamb: “The Lamb is its light” (21:23). The marriage is the marriage of the Lamb (19:7) and the bride is the wife of the Lamb (21:9). The book that has the names of the saved in it is the Lamb’s Book of Life (21:27), and the song that is sung by the victors is the song of Moses and the Lamb (15:3). When we get to heaven, we will not be able to escape the fact that Jesus Christ is God’s Lamb! What a tragedy that many religious people today don’t want to hear about Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. They want Jesus the Teacher, Jesus the Healer, Jesus the Example; but they don’t want Jesus the Savior who shed his precious blood to save a sinful world.”
“Action without promises is presumption, not faith, but when you have God’s promises, you can go forward with confidence.”
“The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). When we read the greatest writings of the ages, our hearts may be stirred and our minds instructed, but when we meditate on the words of Christ, we share in the wonder of his life. His Word feeds the inner person and satisfies. They give much more than enlightenment; they give enablement and help us to live in him.”
“As God’s people walk on this earth and walk in the light, the Lord will guard and guide their steps, but the wicked will walk in spiritual darkness because they depend on their own wisdom and strength. It may seem that the wicked “have it made,” but one day the storm of God’s wrath will burst upon them in fierce judgment. God is long-suffering with those who resist Him, but their day is coming.”
“What is this leadership test? It’s a test of submission, and it revolves around one question: “Will I submit to authority?” Why is this test so critical? Because the willingness to submit to authority reveals a person’s true character, and I believe that successful spiritual leadership is all about character.”
“David did not take matters into his own hands. Instead, he submitted himself to the Lord and His timing. David knew that God would deal with Saul, and he needed to just wait on the Lord.”
“David was a man of godly character who did not take matters into his own hands. Instead, he submitted to the Lord. He said, “Who can lay a hand on the LORD’s anointed and be guiltless? As surely as the LORD lives, the LORD himself will strike him; either his time will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish. But the LORD forbid that I should lay a hand on the LORD’s anointed” (1 Sam. 26:9–11 NIV). Even under immense pressure and given an ideal situation to end Saul’s rampage, David showed the godly character of a spiritual leader: the character of a king.”
“That choice is up to each of us as we decide what to do with our fears. You might wonder, how in the world can I remain faithful to God in the midst of all the challenges in this life? I have a simple answer for you. You can remain faithful if you choose to hold on to the promises of God found in His Word. If you hold fast to God’s promises, you will not give in to fear when it tries to break through the ranks of your faith. Instead, you will stand firm and be counted among the faithful like Caleb and Joshua.”
“a man of godly character, a man after God’s own heart who trusted the Lord and submitted to His will. David understood that God alone was in control of his life. And God honored David’s character with great success.”
“Actually, success is a by-product. “Try not to become a man of success,” wrote Albert Einstein, “but rather try to become a man of value.” Values involve character, which is why Theodore Roosevelt said, “The chief factor in any man’s success or failure must be his own character.” Eli, the priest, and Saul, the king, both had reputations; but David had character. His character and skills were developed in private before they were demonstrated in public.”
“The books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles record many sins and failures on the part of God’s people, but they also remind us that God is on the throne, and when He isn’t allowed to rule, He overrules. He is the Lord of Hosts, and His purposes will be accomplished.”
“Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing, Were not the right Man on our side, The Man of God’s own choosing: Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth, His name, From age to age the same, And He must win the battle.”
“What are all histories but God manifesting Himself,”
“History is His story.”
“She expressed her anguish only to the Lord, and she didn’t create problems for the family by disputing with Peninnah. In everything she said and did, Hannah sought to glorify the Lord.”
“What an example Hannah is in her praying! It was a prayer born out of sorrow and suffering, but in spite of her feelings, she laid bare her soul before the Lord. It was a prayer that involved submission, for she presented herself to the Lord as His handmaiden, to do whatever He wanted her to do (see Luke 1:48). It was a prayer that also involved sacrifice, because she vowed to give her son back to the Lord, to be a Nazirite (Num. 6) and serve the Lord all his life.”
“Gospel means “the good news.” It is the message that Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again, and now is able to save all who trust Him (1 Cor. 15:1–4). It is “the gospel of God” (Rom. 1:1) because it originates with God; it was not invented by humans.”
“It is “the gospel of Christ” (Rom. 1:16) because it centers in Christ, the Savior. Paul also calls it “the gospel of his Son” (Rom. 1:9), which indicates that Jesus Christ is God.”
“Thoreau put it beautifully when he said that we have “improved means to unimproved ends.”
