This is Jesus’ cure for heart trouble — 
faith in God.

Henrietta Mears (1890–1963), in What the Bible Is All About

[godtreks]

Let us try to find the secret of Jesus’ optimism.
 The secret is written large across the pages of the Gospel. 
It was a secret too good to keep — 
he gave it to everybody who had ears to hear.
 It was an abiding confidence in God.

Christianity is a rescue religion. 
It declares that God has taken the initiative in Jesus Christ 
to deliver us from our sins.
 This is the main theme of the Bible.

John Stott (1921–2011), in Basic Christianity

[godtreks]

'God loves' is the greatest thing that can be said by lips....
 If we would try to think of what it means,
 the whole truth would flash up into fresh newness, 
and all the miseries and sorrows and perplexities of our lives
 would drift away down the wind,
 and we should be no more troubled with them.

Alexander MacLaren (1826–1910), in Expositions of Holy Scripture

It is the will of Christ that his disciples should have peace within, 
whatever their troubles may be without.

Matthew Henry (1662–1714), in his Commentary on the Whole Bible

[godtreks]

There is nothing to fear. 
I know that the promises of God are true, for they have been fulfilled in my life time and time again. 
Jesus still teaches and guides and protects and heals and comforts, 
and still wins our complete trust and our love.

Peter Marshall (1902–1949)
