A sinner’s peace cannot come from himself, nor from the knowledge of himself, nor from thinking about his own acts and feelings, nor from the consciousness of any amendment of his old self.

Whence, then, is it to come? How does he get it?
It can only come from God; and it is in knowing God that he gets it. God has written a volume for the purpose of making himself known; and it is in this revelation of his character that the sinner is to find the rest that he is seeking.

God himself is the fountainhead of our peace; his revealed truth is the channel through which this peace finds its way into us; and his Holy Spirit is the great interpreter of that truth to as: “Acquaint thyself now with God, and be at peace.”Yes, acquaintanceship with God is peace!

ABOUT THE CHURCH FATHERS

The Church Fathers, generally influential Christians, some eminent teachers and preachers of old who took the world for God with the power of the Holy Spirit and the word of God.

Today though they might have gone to be with the Lord yet their voices are here with us through their writings.

I hope through these Quotes you will feel the fire of the old men of the cross.
