Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.John 5:24
D.L. MOODYI would a thousand times rather stand on that verse than all the frames and feelings I ever had. I took my stand there twenty years ago. Since then, the dark waves of hell have come dashing up against me; the waves of persecution have broken all around me; doubts, fears, and unbelief, in turn, have assailed me; but I have been able to …

So [Zacchaeus] hurried and came down and received [Jesus] joyfully. Luke 19:6
D.L. MOODYDid you ever hear of anyone receiving Christ in any other way? Zacchaeus received Him joyfully. Christ brings joy with Him. Sin, gloom, and darkness flee away; light, peace, and joy burst into the soul.
ERWIN LUTZERChrist does bring joy, but sin causes the cup of joy to spring a leak. If we are troubled by our consciences, if we find ourselves in conflict with the world, our joy can turn into guilt or grief.As believers, we find ourselves beset with many different kinds …

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9
D.L. MOODYWhen we are weak, then we are strong. People often think they have not strength enough; the fact is, we have too much strength. It is when we feel that we have no strength of our own that we are willing that God should use us and work through us. If we are leaning on …

And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only. Mark 9:8
D.L. MOODYWhat a dark night it would have been if our Lord and Master had been caught up with Moses and Elijah, and no Christ had died for our sins. Oh, how Jesus Christ has lit up this world! But suppose He had gone up to heaven on the other side of Calvary and had never finished His work. Suppose that God, in His love for His Son, had said: “I can’t let those men spit upon you and smite you; I will …

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
D.L. MOODYI like to have a text like this because it takes us all in. “Come unto me, all ye that labour.” That doesn’t mean a select few—refined ladies and cultured men. It doesn’t mean good people only. It applies to saint and sinner. Do you think that Christ would shut the door in any one’s face, and say, “I did not mean all; I only meant certain ones”? If you cannot come as a saint, come as a sinner. Only …

There is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents. Luke 15:10
D.L. MOODY“Joy in the presence of angels?” Perhaps the friends who have left the shores of time may be looking down upon us; and when they see someone they prayed for while on Earth turning to God, it sends a thrill of joy to their very hearts. Even now, some mother who has gone up yonder may be looking down upon a son or daughter, and if that child should say: “I will meet that mother of mine; I will decide for God,” the …

And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” Mark 16:15
D.L. MOODYI can imagine Jesus saying: “Go search out the man who put that crown of thorns on my brow; tell him I will have a crown for him in my kingdom if he will accept salvation; and there shall not be a thorn in it. Find out that man who took the reed from my hand and smote my head, driving the thorns deeper into my brow. Tell him I want to give him a scepter. Go, seek …

I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.” Luke 15:18
D.L. MOODYOne of the greatest battles ever fought was being fought in the heart of the prodigal. Everything holy and heavenly was beckoning him home. The powers of darkness were trying to keep him from returning.“You go back and they’ll all laugh at you. What’ll they say?” said the devil.No doubt there was an angel hovering over him, watching for the decision, and when he said, “I will arise,” the angel bore …

But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 1 Timothy 6:9
D.L. MOODYThink of Balaam. He is generally regarded as a false prophet, but I do not find that any of his prophecies that are recorded are not true; they have been literally fulfilled. He stepped over a heavenly crown for the riches and honors that Balak promised him. He went to perdition backward. His face was set toward God, but he backed into hell. He wanted to die the death …

When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. Psalm 91:15
D.L. MOODYIf we call on God for deliverance and for victory over sin and every evil, God will not turn a deaf ear to our call. I don’t care what the past record has been, I don’t care how disobedient or how one may have backslidden and wandered, if one really wants to come back, God accepts the willing mind, God will hear prayer, and answer.Some people say they can’t call. Perhaps you …
