Quotations for gospel

All is not gospel that comes out of his mouth. [ Proverb ]

The law is what we must do; the gospel what God will give. [ Luther ]

The law discovers the disease. The gospel gives the remedy. [ Martin Luther ]

A true life is at once interpreter and proof of the gospel. [ Whittier ]

The latest gospel in this world is, know thy work and do it. [ Carlyle ]

Christ's gospel could never have been delivered by one who was diseased. [ John McC. Holmes ]

God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers, and clouds and stars. [ Luther ]

The poets fabulously fancied that the giants scaled heaven by heaping mountain upon mountain. What was their fancy is the gospel truth. If you would get to heaven you must climb thither by putting Mount Sion upon Mount Sinai. [ Bishop Hopkins ]

Seek such union to the Son of God as, leaving no present death within, shall make the second death impossible, and shall leave in all your future only that shadow of death which men call dissolution, and which the gospel calls sleeping in Jesus. [ James Hamilton ]

It is the saying of an old divine, Two things in ray apparel I will chiefly aim at - commodiousness and decency; more than these is not commendable, yet I hate an effeminate spruceness as much as a fantastic disorder. A neglected comeliness is the best ornament. It is said of the celebrated Mr. Whitfield that he always was very clean and neat, and often said pleasantly that a minister of the gospel ought to be without a spot. [ J. Beaumont ]
