If I were but sure that I should live to see the coming of the Lord, it would be the joyfulest tidings in the world. O that I might see His kingdom come! It is the characteristic of His saints to love His appearing, and to look for that blessed hope. "The Spirit and the bride say, Come." "Even so, come, Lord Jesus."

— Richard Baxter

The Saints' Everlasting Rest (1650)

Sinners, hear and consider, if you wilfully condemn your souls to bestiality, God will condemn them to perpetual misery.

When the Son of God comes to rescue us and bring us back to God, He does not find in us the ability to believe.

The Saints' Everlasting Rest (1650)

I preached as never sure to preach again,
And as a dying man to dying men.

Christ leads me through no darker rooms Than He went through before.
