I am still in the land of the dying; I shall be in the land of the living soon. (his last words) John Newton More Quotes by John Newton More Quotes From John Newton I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I want to be, I am not what I hope to be in another world; but still I am not what I once used to be, and by the grace of God I am what I am John Newton gracewantworld Although my memory's fading, I remember two things very clearly: I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior. John Newton religiousmemoriesjesus When people are right with God, they are apt to be hard on themselves and easy on other people. But when they are not right with God, they are easy on themselves and hard on others. John Newton selfgodattitude When I was young, I was sure of many things; now there are only two things of which I am sure: one is, that I am a miserable sinner; and the other, that Christ is an all-sufficient Saviour. He is well-taught who learns these two lessons. John Newton taughtlessonstwo I compare the troubles which we have to undergo in the course of the year to a great bundle of sticks, far too large for us to lift. But God does not require us to carry the whole at once. He mercifully unties the bundle, and gives us first one stick, which we are to carry today, and then another, which we are to carry tomorrow, and so on. This we might easily manage, if we would only take the burden appointed for us each day; but we choose to increase our troubles by carrying yesterday's stick over again today, and adding tomorrow's burden to our load, before we are required to bear it. John Newton yesterdaygivingyears If the Lord be with us, we have no cause of fear. His eye is upon us, His arm over us, His ear open to our prayer - His grace sufficient, His promise unchangeable. John Newton eyegraceprayer Whoever is truly humbled — will not be easily angry, nor harsh or critical of others. He will be compassionate and tender to the infirmities of his fellow-sinners, knowing that if there is a difference — it is grace alone which has made it! He knows that he has the seeds of every evil in his own heart. And under all trials and afflictions — he will look to the hand of the Lord, and lay his mouth in the dust, acknowledging that he suffers much less than his iniquities have deserved. John Newton dustknowingheart Christ has taken our nature into Heaven to represent us; and has left us on earth, with His nature, to represent Him. John Newton takenearthheaven May we sit at the foot of the cross; and there learn what sin has done, what justice has done, what love has done. John Newton donefeetjustice Amazing grace! how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost but now am found, Was blind but now i see. John Newton gracesoundsweet We can easily manage if we will only take, each day, the burden appointed to it. But the load will be too heavy for us if we carry yesterday's burden over again today, and then add the burden of the morrow before we are required to bear it. John Newton attitudelifepast Our work is great; our time is short; the consequences of our labors are infinite. John Newton our-timeinfinitelabor Though troubles assail And dangers affright, Though friends should all fail And foes all unite; Yet one thing secures us, Whatever betide, The scripture assures us, The Lord will provide. John Newton scripturefailingtrouble Thou art coming to a King, large petitions with thee bring, for His grace and power are such none can ever ask too much. John Newton gracekingsart All shall work together for good; everything is needful that He sends; nothing can be needful that He withholds. John Newton working-togethertogether I am persuaded that love and humility are the highest attainments in the school of Christ and the brightest evidences that He is indeed our Master. John Newton humilityschoolchrist This is faith: a renouncing of everything we are apt to call our own and relying wholly upon the blood, righteousness and intercession of Jesus. John Newton righteousnessbloodjesus Assurance grows by repeated conflict, by our repeated experimental proof of the Lord's power and goodness to save; when we have been brought very low and helped, sorely wounded and healed, cast down and raised again, have given up all hope, and been suddenly snatched from danger, and placed in safety; and when these things have been repeated to us and in us a thousand times over, we begin to learn to trust simply to the word and power of God, beyond and against appearances: and this trust, when habitual and strong, bears the name of assurance; for even assurance has degrees. John Newton safetystrongnames My grand point in preaching is to break the hard heart, and to heal the broken one.
