QUOTE - John Brown
“The mad man who has mistaken his tattered garments for the flowing robes of majesty, and his manacles for golden bracelets studded with jewels, has not erred so widely as the man who has mistaken carnal license for Christian liberty.”

QUOTE - Tim Keller
“The gospel tells us that God is so holy that nothing short of complete payment for sins and the perfect righteousness of Christ can satisfy Him. On the other hand, the gospel tells us that God is so loving that we can receive this perfect righteousness now and stand complete in God’s sight. The gospel therefore neither leads us to live a guilty life (since God has lovingly accepted us), nor an unholy life (since the God who has accepted us is perfectly holy). To forget the first is to fall into the mistake that Paul deals with in verse 1 [of chapter 5], and lose our freedom; to forget the second is to make the verse 13 error, and abuse our freedom. Both mean we lose grasp of the gospel.”

QUOTE - Martin Lloyd-Jones
“We see them now, no longer as hateful people who are trying to rob us of our rights, or trying to beat us in the race for money, or position or fame; we see them, as we see ourselves, as the victims of sin and of Satan, as the dupes of “the god of this world,” as fellow-creatures who are under the wrath of God and hell-bound. We have an entirely new view of them. We see them to be exactly as we are ourselves, and we are both in a terrible predicament. And we can do nothing; but both of us together must run to Christ and avail ourselves of his wonderful grace. We begin to enjoy it together and we want to share it together. That is how it works. It is the only way whereby we can ever do unto others as we would that they should do unto us. It is when we are really loving our neighbour as ourselves because we have been delivered from the thraldom of self, that we being to enjoy “the glorious liberty of the children of God.””

QUOTE - John Calvin
“…when the devil tempts us to disputes, that the disagreement of members within the Church can lead to nothing but the ruin and consumption of the whole body. How unhappy, how mad it is, that we who are members of the same body should voluntarily conspire together for mutual destruction.”
