Inspirational Quotes on Faith

“Dependence on the Spirit does not mean inactivity, but it does mean activating our faith before we activate our wills.”

“To have a faith, therefore, or a trust in any thing, where God hath not promised, is plain idolatry, and a worshipping of thine own imagination instead of God.”

“Faith is a record of great risks taken.”

“Our faith is based on facts, not fiction.”

“When you put your hand in God's hand, you will never walk alone.”

“God can make the very worst things that ever happened in your life to work for your very best, if you have faith.”

“It is by doctrine (through the power of the Spirit) that believers are nourished and edified, and where doctrine is neglected, growth in grace and effective witnessing for Christ necessarily cease. How sad then that doctrine is now decried as "unpractical" when, in fact, doctrine is the very base of the practical life.”

“All Scripture is profitable for "doctrine"! The same order is observed throughout the Epistles, particularly in the great doctrinal treatises of the apostle Paul. Read the Epistle of "Romans" and it will be found that there is not a single admonition in the first five chapters. In the Epistle of "Ephesians" there are no exhortations till the fourth chapter is reached. The order is first doctrinal exposition and then admonition or exhortation for the regulation of the daily walk.”

“The substitution of so-called "practical" preaching for the doctrinal exposition which it has supplanted is the root cause of many of the evil maladies which now afflict the church of God. The reason why there is so little depth, so little intelligence, so little grasp of the fundamental verities of Christianity, is because so few believers have been established in the faith, through hearing expounded and through their own personal study of the doctrines of grace.”

“Faith is the one condition on which all divine power can enter into man and work through him.”

“By faith you became partakers of the initial grace; by that same faith you can enjoy the continuous grace of abiding in Him.”

“We repent in proportion to our belief in the forgiving love of Christ. We rejoice in the fullness of Jesus’ absolution in proportion to our repentance of sin and our hatred of evil. You will never value pardon unless you feel repentance. You will never taste the deepest portion of repentance until you know that you are pardoned. It may seem like a strange thing, and so it is. The bitterness of repentance and the sweetness of pardon blend in the flavor of every gracious life and make up an incomparable happiness.”

“The cross which is the object of faith, is also, by the power of the Holy Spirit, the cause of it. Sit down and watch the dying Savior till faith springs up spontaneously in your heart. There is no place like Calvary for creating confidence. The air of that sacred hill brings health to trembling faith. Many a watcher there has said: 'While I view Thee, wounded, grieving, Breathless on the cursed tree, Lord, I feel my heart believing That Thou suffer'dst thus for me.”

“I wonder whether I shall be wrong if I say that we never do anything except through faith of some sort. If I walk across my study it is because I believe my legs will carry me. A man eats because he believes in the necessity of food; he goes to business because he believes in the value of money; he accepts a check because he believes that the bank will honor it.”

“A man told me a while ago he could not believe a thing he had never seen. I said, “Man, did you ever see your brain?”

“That sin will never stand firm which is heartily prayed against....We must spread out all our case before our heavenly Physician, if He is to give us daily relief.”

“আমি তো হয়েই গেছি একজন নিশিরাত সাথী। হেঁটেছি বৃষ্টিতে ভিজে– বৃষ্টিতেই ফিরেও এসেছি। পার হয়ে গেছি আমি শহরের দূরতম বাতি। সর্বাধিক দুঃখক্লিষ্ট গলি আমি স্বচক্ষে দেখেছি দায়িত্বপালনকারী দারোয়ানে কাটিয়েছি পাশে। চোখের দু’পাতা ফেলে, ব্যাখ্যা সব গোপন রেখেছি। থমকে দাঁড়িয়ে গেছি পদশব্দ যদি কিছু নাশে কান্নার শব্দের তুল্য– কোনো কান্না দূর থেকে হয়, পাশের সড়ক থেকে বাড়ির উপর দিয়ে আসে, কিন্তু কেউ ডাকেনি তো, বিদায় বচনটিও নয়; আরো দূরে, বহু দূরে অপার্থিব কোনো উচ্চতায়, আলোকিত ঘড়ি এক আকাশের উল্টো থেকে কয় না-শুভ বা না-অশুভ এই কাল আজিকার বাতি। আমি তো রয়েই গেছি একজন নিশিরাত সাথী।”

He seeks also for purity, and by faith is it preserved. All these things does the faith demand that is based on the rock of the true Stone, that is Christ. These works are required for Christ the King, Who dwells in men that are built up in these works.”

“If I were a blind man and were told by you that you possess a faculty called sight, I should be unreasonable if I railed at you as a conceited enthusiast.”
