Christian

No one can come unto Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him.

I have loved thee with an everlasting love, therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee.

If I be lifted up on the Cross, will draw all men unto Me.

Therefore He said, “I will also draw with My cords and My net.”

The man who abides in the will of God wills nothing else than what God is, and what He wills.

If he really abides in God’s will, all pain is to him a joy, all complication, simple: yea, even the pains of hell would be a joy to him.

The man who abides in God’s love must be dead to himself and all created things, and regard himself as a mere unit among a thousand million.

May God and the Eternal Wisdom grant us to remain equally immovable and unalterable with Himself. Amen.

Men, why seek ye outside you what is inside you—salvation?

No one can come unto Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him.

Never did our Lord Jesus Christ display such great love as when He suffered the torture of the Cross when He gave His life for us, and washed our sins with His precious Blood.

Thus, with the heat of His love, from which nothing could be hidden, so intense was it—He drew the whole world to Himself.

Deadly sin is a breach of nature, a death of the soul, a disquiet of the heart, a weakening of power, a blindness of the sense, a sorrow of the spirit, a death of grace, a death of virtue, a death of good works, an aberration of the spirit, a fellowship with the devil, an expulsion of Christianity, a dungeon of hell, a banquet of hell, an eternity of hell.

Therefore, whosoever is to turn from sin and come to God in His heavenly kingdom, must be drawn by the heavenly Father with the might of His divine power.

The Father also draws the Son who comes to help us with His grace, by stimulating our free will to turn away from, and hate sin, which has drawn us aside from God, and from the immutable goodness of the Godhead.

To serve God with fear is good; to serve Him out of love is better; but to fear and love Him together is best of all.

The heavens are everywhere alike remote from earth, so should the soul be remote from all earthly things alike so as not to be nearer to one than another.

If the soul is to know God, it must know Him outside time and place, since God is neither in this or that, but One and above them.

If the soul is to see God, it must look at nothing in time; for while the soul is occupied with time or place or any image of the kind, it cannot recognize God.

Only he knows God who recognizes that all creatures are nothingness.
