Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be done to you.” Matthew 9:29
D.L. MOODYI remember a man telling me he preached for a number of years without any result. He used to say to his wife as they went to church, that he knew the people would not believe anything he said; and there was no blessing. At last, he saw his error; he asked God to help him and took courage, and then the blessing came. “According to your faith be it unto you.” This man had expected nothing, and he got …

Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” John 1:46
D.L. MOODYAfter all, we do not gain much by discussion. Let objectors or inquirers only get one personal interview with the Son of God, and that will scatter all their darkness, all their prejudice, and all their unbelief. The moment that Philip succeeded in getting Nathanael to Christ, the work was done.

For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree. 1 John 5:7–8
D.L. MOODYI find clearly presented in my Bible, that the one God who demands my love, service, and worship, has there revealed Himself, and that each of those three names of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost has personality attached to them. It has been remarked that the Father plans, the Son executes, and the Holy Spirit applies. But I also believe they plan and work together.
ERWIN LUTZERMoody’s comments are drawn from the larger teaching of Scripture. …

The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7
D.L. MOODYYou may pile up your sins till they rise like a dark mountain, and then multiply them by ten thousand, taking into account those you cannot think of: and after you have tried to enumerate all the sins you have ever committed, just let me give you one verse, “The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin,” and that mountain will melt away.
ERWIN LUTZERWe all have within us a sin factory, manufacturing truckload after truckload of sin. Jesus said …

God is love. 1 John 4:8
D.L. MOODYIf I could only make men understand the real meaning of the words of the apostle John—“GOD IS LOVE”—I would take that single text, and would go up and down the world proclaiming the glorious truth. If you can convince a man that you love him, you have won his heart. If we could really make people believe that God loves them, how we should find them crowding into the kingdom of heaven! The trouble is that men think God hates them; and so they are continually turning their backs on Him. …

Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. John 12:24
D.L. MOODYTake a little black flower seed and sow it; after it has been planted some time, dig it up. If it is whole, you know that it has no life; but if it has begun to decay, you know that life and fruitfulness will follow. There will be a resurrected life; and out of that little black seed will come a beautiful, fragrant flower. Here is a disgusting …

I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. John 16:1–2
D.L. MOODYA man said to me some time ago: “Mr. Moody, now that I am converted, have I to give up the world?” “No,” said I, “you haven’t to give up the world. If you give a good ringing testimony for the Son of God, the world will give you up pretty quick; they won’t want you.”

And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly. Luke 22:61–62
D.L. MOODYThe Master might have turned and said to Peter, “Is it true, Peter, that you have forgotten me so soon? Do you not remember when your wife’s mother lay sick of a fever that I rebuked the disease and it left her? Do you not call to mind your astonishment at the draught of fishes so …

For the love of Christ controls us. 2 Corinthians 5:14
D.L. MOODYI am getting sick and tired of hearing the word duty, duty, duty. You hear so many talk about it being their duty to do this and do that. My experience is that such Christians have very little success. Is there not a much higher platform than that of mere duty? Can we not engage in the service of Christ because we love Him? When that is the constraining power it is so easy to work. It is not hard for a mother to watch over a sick …

From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him. Isaiah 64:4These things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:10
D.L. MOODYMost people say, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,” and they stop there. But see what the New Testament says, “God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit.” You see, the Lord has revealed them unto us: “For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”
