Thomas Brooks Grace Quotations

To repent of sin is as great a mark of grace as not to sin.

It is the very nature of grace to make a man strive to be most eminent in that particular grace which is most opposed to his bosom sin.

He who lives up to a little light shall have more light; he who lives up to a little knowledge shall have more knowledge; he who lives up to a little faith shall have more faith, and he who lives up to a little love shall have more love. Verily the main reason why men are such babes and shrubs in grace is because they do not live up their attainments.

Grace is given to trade with; it is given to lay out, not lay up.

Sin is hell, grace is heaven; what madness it is to look more at hell than heaven.

There is no such way to attain to greater measures of grace, as for a man to live up to that little grace he has.

It is not he who knows most, nor he who hears most, nor yet he who talks most, but he who exercises grace most, who has most communion with God.

Faith is the champion of Grace, and Love the nurse; but Humility is the beauty of Grace.

When afflictions arrest us, we shall murmur and grumble and struggle until we see that it is God that strikes.

God hath in Himself all power to defend you, all wisdom to direct you, all mercy to pardon you, all grace to enrich you, all righteousness to clothe you, all goodness to supply you, and all happiness to crown you.

When God's hand is on thy back, let thy hand be on thy mouth, for though the affliction be sharp it shall be but short.
