Proverbs 13:10
Proverbs 13:10
“Only by pride comes contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.”
James 1:13-15
James 1:13-15
“13) Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempts He any man:
14) But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
15) Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death.”
Proverbs 13:5
Proverbs 13:5
“A righteous man hates lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and comes to shame.”
John 8:31-36
John 8:31-36
“31) Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If you continue in My word, then are you My disciples indeed;
32) And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.
33) They answered Him, We are Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how say You, You will be made free?
34) Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin.
35) And the servant abides not in the house for ever: but the Son abides ever.
36) If the Son therefore will make you free, you will be free indeed.”
“No one is too bad to be saved” by J.C. Ryle
“No one is too bad to be saved, or beyond the power of Christ’s grace. The door of hope which the Gospel reveals to sinners is very wide open.
Let us leave it open as we find it. Let us not attempt in narrow-minded ignorance, to shut it.
We should never be afraid to maintain that Christ is ‘able to save to the uttermost,’ and that the vilest of sinners may be freely forgiven if they will only come to Him.
We should offer the Gospel boldly to the worst and wickedest, and say, ‘There is hope. Only repent and believe. Though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson they shall be as wool.’ (Isaiah 1:18.)
Such doctrine may seem to worldly people foolishness and licentiousness. But such doctrine is the Gospel of Him who saved Zacchaeus at Jericho.
