how richly does he supply us with the means of contemplating his mercy when, as frequently happens, he continues to visit miserable sinners with unwearied kindness, until he subdues their depravity, and woos them back with more than a parent's fondness
Institutes, Book 1 Chapter 6God's Mercy0Institutes, Book 1 Chapter 6
Severity to sin is mercy to the soul.
Sin, Mortification0Grace is not of an equal extent to nature: grace is not native, but donative; not by generation, but by regeneration. It is from the Father of spirits, not fathers of our flesh. Who can bring a clean thing out of filthiness? The new birth is "not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man" (John 1:13).
Grace0There is nothing doth so kindly work repentance as the right apprehension of the mercy and love of God. The beams of that love are more powerful to melt the heart than all the flames of Mount Sinai, all the threatenings and terrors of the law. Sin is the root of our misery, and therefore it is the proper work of this mercy to rescue the soul from it, both from the guilt and the power of it at once.
God's Mercy0Where God multiplies His mercies and men multiply their sins, there God will multiply their miseries.
God's Mercy0God shows more mercy in saving some when He might have condemned all; than justice in judging many when He might have saved none.
God's Mercy0The best God will always take the best time to hand out mercies to His people; there is no mercy so fair, so ripe, so lovely, so beautiful as that which God gives out in His own time. Therefore, hold thy peace; though God delays thee, yet be silent, for there is no possibility of taking a mercy out of God's hand till the mercy be ripe for us, and we ripe for the mercy (Eccl. 3:11).
God's Mercy0One error is a bridge to another.
Error0It teaches us humility. As we were from Adam, so he was from the dust of the earth, and that dust from nothing. Our father was Adam, our grandfather dust, our great-grandfather nothing.

The vessels of mercy shall swim in an ocean of glory.
God's Mercy0Cast yourself into the arms of Christ, and if you perish, perish there. If you do not, you are sure to perish. If mercy is to be found anywhere, it is there.
God's Mercy0God's ear is ever attentive to the cry of the weak and helpless; He delights in showing mercy.
God's Mercy0Do you think he will have mercy on others, and not on you? But are you not sinners? And did not Jesus Christ come into the world to save sinners?
God's Mercy0A smooth, if a false way should not delight us; nor should a rugged, if a right way, dishearten us.
Delight0Gluttony is the sepulchre of the living, and a kind of spiritual drowning of a man.
Gluttony0The more you practice what you know, the more shall you know what to practice.
Obedience0As soon as we think God owes us mercy, we're not thinking about mercy any more.
God's Mercy0Even when God is coming towards his people in ways of mercy, he sometimes takes such methods as that they may think themselves but ill treated.
God's Mercy0God has mercy of all dimensions. He has depth of mercy, it reaches as low as sinners; and height of mercy, it reaches above the clouds.
