George Whitefield — The Almost Christian (Acts 26:28)

Though it is the very hinge on which the salvation of each of us turns, and a point too in which all sincere Christians, of every denomination, agree; yet it is so seldom considered, and so little experimentally understo…

Few, very few acknowledge [religion] to be, what it really is, a thorough inward change of nature, a divine life, a vital participation of Jesus Christ, an union of the soul with God.

It is the very breath of the new creature, the fan of the divine life, whereby the spark of holy fire, kindled in the soul by God, is not only kept in, but raised into a flame.

As I have often told you, so I tell you again, an unapplied Christ is no Christ at all.

Our senses are the landing ports of our spiritual enemies.

Every cross has a call in it, and every particular dispensation of divine providence has some particular end to answer in those to whom it is sent.
