Matthew Henry Quotes

God's grace, quite simply, is God's mercy and goodness toward us.

Salvation is all about the grace of God. There is absolutely nothing that you can do to save yourself or earn God's favor.

Grace is not reserved for good people; grace underscores the goodness of God.

Grace is sufficient even though we huff and puff with all our might to try and find something or someone that it cannot cover. Grace is enough.

Grace is a much more accurate word to use when dealing with the state of human existence. God gives us unmerited favor through Jesus Christ, and since Adam and Eve, our lives have depended on it.

The apostle Paul never seemed to exhaust the topic of grace - what makes us think we can? He just kept coming at it and coming at it from another angle. That's the thing about grace. It's like springtime. You can't put it in a single sentence definition, and you can't exhaust it.

I know that God is good, and he saved me from hell and damnation.

Grace is the good pleasure of God that inclines him to bestow benefits on the undeserving.

Most people have settled for a wimpy grace. It's something that doesn't change their lives. There is a difference between grace and mercy. Mercy is the decision of God not to punish us. But grace is the decision of God to save and bless us.

Grace is the love of God shown to the unlovely. It is God reaching downward to people who are in rebellion against him.

This one word 'grace' contains within itself the whole of New Testament theology.

There is no other salvation except that which begins and ends with grace.

God doesn't just give us grace; He gives us Jesus, the Lord of grace.

Those who are in a state of salvation are to attribute it to sovereign grace alone, and to give all the praise to Him who maketh them to differ from others.

God answers our prayers not because we are good, but because He is good.

No matter how good you think yourself to be, you cannot enter heaven unless it is under the terms of sovereign grace.

We are not saved because we're good. We're good because we're saved.

Grace is God doing for us what we could never do and what we will never deserve.

Grace, by definition, is something that God is not required to grant. He owes a fallen world no mercy.

I am throwing all my good works overboard, and lashing myself to the plank of free grace; for I hope to swim to glory on it.

The Gospel is about grace and we all know that grace is about us receiving from God blessings that we don't deserve.

For even these are no less bestowed on him of pure grace, than are righteousness and salvation themselves.

Salvation cannot be bought with the currency of obedience; it is purchased by the blood of the Son of God. Thinking that we can trade our good works for salvation is like buying a plane ticket and then supposing we own the airline. Or thinking that after paying rent for our home, we now hold title to the entire planet earth.

There are things God does for me daily, and it throws me into brain lock, because I know in my heart I don't deserve that kind of grace. I don't deserve that break.

God's grace is amazing! We're saved by grace - God's undeserved favor - and we live by grace, which is also God's power in our lives to do what we could never do in our own strength. And it's all because God is love, and He loves us unconditionally, constantly and completely.
