Selected quotes by Robert McCheyne
When I stand before the throne, Dressed in beauty not my own, When I see Thee as Thou art, Love Thee with unsinning heart, Then, Lord, shall I fully know— Not till then—how much I owe.
The sea ebbs and flows, but the rock remains unmoved.
When a man goes thirsty to the well, his thirst is not allayed by merely going there. On the contrary, it is increased by every step he goes. It is by what he draws out of the well that his thirst is satisfied. And just so it is not by the mere bodily exercise of waiting upon ordinances that you will ever come to peace, but by tasting of Jesus in the ordinances, whose flesh is meat indeed, and His blood drink indeed.
There cannot be a secret Christian. Grace is like ointment hid in the hand; it betrayeth itself. If you truly feel the sweetness of the cross of Christ, you will be constrained to confess Christ before men.
When this passing world is done, When has sunk yon, glowing sun, When we stand with Christ in glory, Looking o'er life's finished story, Then, Lord, shall I fully know— Not till then how much I owe.
Break my hard heart, Jesus my Lord; In the inmost part Hide Thy sweet word.
We must not close with Christ because we feel Him, but because God has said it, and we must take God's word even in the dark .
Remember, you are not a tree, that can live or stand alone. You are only a branch. And it is only while you abide in Christ, as the branch in the vine, that you will flourish or even live.
