Jeremiah Burroughs Quotes About Soul

Quotes about: Soul

• My brethren, the reason why you have not got contentment in the things of the world is not because you have not got enough of them-that is not the reason-but the reason is, because they are not things proportionable to that immortal soul of yours that is capable of God himself.

  Jeremiah Burroughs

  Soul, Contentment, World

  Jeremiah Burroughs (2001). “Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment”, p.35, Sovereign Grace Publishers,

• You may think you find peace in Christ when you have no outward troubles, but is Christ your peace when the Assyrian comes into the land, when the enemy comes?...Jesus Christ would be peace to the soul when the enemy comes into the city, and into your houses.

  Jeremiah Burroughs

  Jesus, Thinking, Land

  Jeremiah Burroughs (1651). “The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment ...”, p.71

• When [the saints] perform actions to God, then the soul says: 'Oh! that I could do what pleases God!' When they come to suffer any cross: 'Oh, that what God does might please me!' I labour to do what pleases God, and I labour that what God does shall please me: here is a Christian indeed, who shall endeavour both these. It is but one side of a Christian to endeavour to do what pleases God; you must as well endeavour to be pleased with what God does, and so you will come to be a complete Christian when you can do both, and that is the first thing in the excellence of this grace of contentment.

  Jeremiah Burroughs

  Christian, Please Me, Grace
