To obtain salvation we must tremble at the thought of being lost, and tremble not so much at the thought of hell, as of sin, which alone can send us thither.

He who acts thus will be saved; but for him who lives not in this manner it is morally impossible to be saved.

Since His delights are to be with you, let yours be found in Him.
