“Christ pitied because He loved, because He saw through all the wretchedness, and darkness, and bondage of evil; that there was in every human soul a possibility of repentance, of restoration; a germ of good, which, however stifled and overlaid, yet was capable of recovery, of health, of freedom, of perfection.” HumansSoulEvilChristDarknessSawsPossibilityCapablePerfectionRecoveryRepentanceBondageHuman SoulRestorationGermsWretchedness Author:Arthur Penrhyn Stanley
“Apart from the positive woes of perdition, an eternity of wretchedness grows from the want of love to Christ as naturally as the oak grows from the acorn, or the harvest from the scattered grain. It is not that love to Christ merits heaven; it does far better, it makes heaven. It is, as it were, the organ of sensation that takes note of heaven's blessedness.” WantDoeHeavenGrowsChristEternityNotesMeritSensationsOrgansGrainHarvestWoeOaksWretchednessBlessednessAcornsPerdition Author:Andrew Kennedy Hutchison Boyd
