"Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord."
- 2 Peter
Faith
"Grace, like water, flows to the lowest part."
- Philip Yancey
Compassion
"A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough today to last him for the next 6 months, nor can he inhale sufficient air into his lungs with one breath to sustain life for a week to come. We are permitted to draw upon God's store of grace from day to day as we need it."
- Dwight L. Moody
Faith
"I am graven on the palms of His hands. I am never out of His mind. All my knowledge of Him depends on His sustained initiative in knowing me. I know Him, because He first knew me, and continues to know me. He knows me as a friend, One who loves me; and there is no moment when His eye is off me, or His attention distracted for me, and no moment, therefore, when His care falters."
- J.I. Packer
Faith
"Grace puts its hand on the boasting mouth, and shuts it once for all."
- Charles Spurgeon
Faith
"Grace does not depend on what we have done for God but rather what God has done for us. Ask people what they must do to get to heaven and most reply, "Be good." Jesus' stories contradict that answer. All we must do is cry, "Help!""
- Philip Yancey
Faith
"Grace comes into the soul, as the morning sun into the world; first a dawning; then a light; and at last the sun in his full and excellent brightness."
- Thomas Adams
Faith
"Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace."
- Jerry Bridges
Faith
"All the grace contained in [the Bible] is owing to Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior; and, unless we consent to Him as our Lord we cannot expect any benefit by Him as our Savior."
- Matthew Henry
Faith
"Certainly we should be very active in seeking God, and Jesus himself called us to 'ask, seek, knock' in order to find him. Yet those who enter a relationship with God inevitably look back and recognize that God's grace had sought them out, breaking them open to new realities."
- Tim Keller
Faith
"Every time you fall down, at the bottom of every hole is grace. Grace waits in broken places. Grace waits at the bottom of things. Grace loves you when you are at your darkest worst, and wraps you in the best light. Grace seeps through the broken places and seeps into the lowest places, a balm for wounds."
- Ann Voskamp
Faith
"The gospel is not just an evangelistic principle; it is a message that gets you out of bed in the morning. The sovereignty of God is not some debatable proposition; it is the assurance that your child’s death is not a meaningless accident. Grace is not simply a word in a hymn; it’s the very thing you rely on when you are so bereaved that you cannot imagine living another day."
- Cameron Cole
Faith
"What else can I do but keep praying to You even when I feel dark; to keep writing about You even when I feel numb; to keep speaking Your name even when I feel alone. Come, Lord Jesus come. Have mercy on me, a sinner."
- Henri Nouwen
Faith
"My faith demands that I face the uncertainty of the future in the confidence that in any meeting of affliction, I am held by the tether of God’s grace. My way is well known to my Master, and therefore I walk in confidence. No testing will come that will not be accompanied by sustaining grace."
- James Means
Faith
"When you pick up the cross of unpopularity, wherever you may be, you will find God’s grace is there, more than sufficient to meet your every need."
- Billy Graham
Faith
"We are living in an age of grace, in which God promises that ‘whosoever will’ may come and receive His Son. But this period of grace will not go on indefinitely. We are even now living on borrowed time."
- Billy Graham
Faith
"Only as we bow in contrition, confession, and repentance at the foot of the cross, can we find forgiveness. There is the grace of God."
- Billy Graham
Faith
"The motive of grace is the infinite, compassionate love of a merciful God, but the work of grace was the death of Christ on the cross."
- Billy Graham
Faith
"Christ did not suffer and die to offer cheap grace. Jesus did not willingly go to the cross so we could have an easy life or offer a faith built on easy-believism. As someone said, ‘Salvation is free, but not cheap.’ It cost Jesus His life."
- Billy Graham
Faith
"Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far and grace will lead me home."
- John Newton
Faith

Faith
"The meaning of life. The wasted years of life. The poor choices of life. God answers the mess of life with one word: 'grace.'"
- Max Lucado
Faith
"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."
- Joyce Meyer
Faith
"Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times."
- Martin Luther
Faith
"Grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected."

- Reinhold Niebuhr
Wisdom
