Matthew Henry on the wisdom of God

"He went out, not knowing whither he went. He put himself into the hand of God, to send him whithersoever he pleased. He subscribed to God’s wisdom, as fittest to direct; and submitted to his will, as fittest to determine every thing that concerned him. Implicit faith and obedience are due to God, and to him only. All that are effectually called resign up their own will and wisdom to the will and wisdom of God, and it is their wisdom to do so; though they know not always their way, yet they know their guide, and this satisfies them." Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry on Heaven

"This will be to the salvation of all who look for him; he will then perfect their holiness, their happiness; their number shall then be accomplished, and their salvation completed. Observe, It is the distinguishing character of true believers that they are looking for Christ; they look to him by faith; they look for him by hope and holy desires. They look for him in every duty, in every ordinance, in every providence now; and they expect his second coming, and are preparing for it; and though it will be sudden destruction to the rest of the world, who scoff at the report of it, it will be eternal salvation to those who look for it." Matthew Henry

F.F. Bruce on eternal life

“For the Spirit of God, imparted by our Lord to his people, dwells within them as a perennial wellspring of refreshment and life. The soul’s deepest thirst is for God himself, who has made us so that we can never be satisfied without him…The fountain of living waters may thus be found resident in the personal life of men and women; with they may draw water from the wells of salvation (Isaiah 12:3) and know that, as they partake of that saving draught, they are tasting the true heavenly gift, the life of the age to come.” F.F. Bruce

John Piper on faith

"The gospel has unleashed the omnipotent mercy of God so that thousands of other gifts flow to us from the gospel heart of God. I am thinking of a text like Romans 8:32 'He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?' This mean that the heart of the Gospel - God's not sparing His own Son - is the guarantee that 'all things' will be given to us.
All things? What does that mean? It means the same thing that Romans 8:28 means: 'And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.' God takes 'all things' and makes them serve our ultimate good. It doesn't mean we get everything our imperfect hears want. It means we get what's good for us...
The goal of the Gospel is my being so in love with Christ and so passionate about His glory that when my suffering can highlight His worth I will bear it 'gladly (2 Corinthians 12:7-10)'...This goal is not our ease or wealth or safety in this age, but our dependence on Christ and delight in His glory...
'I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, (Ps. 43:4).' So faith has tasted the glory of God in Christ and treasures it enough that the fullness of it is worth waiting for and suffering for. Faith has seen the truth that part of Christ's glory is his trustworthiness. Therefore, faith can cast itself on the promise of Christ and trust that the fullness of glory and the fullness of joy will surely come." John Piper

John Piper on Faith

"Trusting in God to meet our needs breaks the power of sin's promise to make us happier…the essence of faith is being satisfied with all that God is for us in Christ." John Piper

F.F. Bruce on faith

"In Old Testament times, he points out, there were many men and women who had nothing but the promises of God to rest upon, without any visible evidence that these promises would ever be fulfilled; yet so much did these promises mean to them they regulated the whole course of their lives in thier light. The promises related to a state of affairs belonging to the future; but these people acted as if that state of affairs were already present, so convinced were they that God could and would fulfill what he had promised. In other words, they were men and women of faith. Their faith consisted simply in taking God at His word and directing their lives accordingly; things yet future as far as their experience went were thus present to faith and things outwardly unseen were visible to the inward eye, It is in these terms that our author now describes the faith which he has been speaking."
