John Newton: Who Are We?

"Who are we, that the Most High should thus notice us; should visit us every morning, and water us every moment? It is an astonishing thought, that God should dwell thus with men; that He, before whom the mightiest earthly potentates are less than nothing and vanity, should thus stoop and accommodate himself to the situation, wants, and capacities of the weakest, meanest, and poorest of his children."

John Newton: His Glory, Our Safety

"His own glory is most displayed, and our safety best secured, by keeping us quite poor and empty in ourselves, and supplying us from one minute to another, according to our need."

John Newton: Bounty

"The believer lives, like Israel in the wilderness, upon mere bounty; but then it is a bounty unchangeable, unwearied, inexhuastible, and all-sufficient."

John Newton: The Privilege of a Believer

"How great and honourable is the privilege of a true believer! That he has neither wisdom nor strength in himself is no disadvantage; for he is connected with infinite wisdom and almighty power."
