We must come back to the soul and to God who made it. We were made for Him, we are meant for Him, we have a correspondence with Him, and we will never come to rest until, like that needle on the compass, we strike that northern point, and there we come to rest - nowhere else.

It was God's hand that laid hold of me, and drew me out, and separated me to this work.

Knowing God in Christ

Knowing God in Christ
“Whenever you get one inch above the ground in your own esteem, you are that inch too high!”—1895, Sermon #2395
“No one knows the true God in the real sense of knowledge except through Jesus Christ, for no man comes unto the Father but by
the Son. But even if he could know God, in a measure, apart from the Revelation of Him in Christ Jesus, it would be a knowledge
of terror that would make him flee away and avoid God! It would not be life to our souls to know God apart from His Son, Jesus
Christ! We must know the Christ whom He has sent or our knowledge does not bring eternal life to us.”—1895, Sermon #2396
“In the greatness of our troubles there may often be space for the greater display of the goodness of God!”—1895, Sermon #2408
“All the fear in the world that is worth having is the result of pardoned sin.”—1895, Sermon #2422
