Winslow: The Patience of God After Grace
Is Greater than His Patience Before Grace

“Oh! the tenderness, the graciousness of the Lord’s patience with His people! How patiently he bears with their ungrateful repinings, with their secret rebellion, with their cold love, with their cruel unbelief, with their continuous and aggravated backslidings! Truly, the patience of God, after grace, is greater than His patience before grace. How should this thought humble us in the dust! How should it subdue our rebellious spirit, break our hard heart, and lead us, in every fresh remembrance, to the blood of Christ, to wash in the fountain open for sin and uncleanness!”

— Octavius Winslow
