God was under no constraint, no obligation, no necessity to create. That He chose to do so was purely a sovereign act on His part, caused by nothing outside Himself, determined by nothing but His own mere good pleasure.

The gospel is not an announcement that God has relaxed his justice or lowered the standard of His holiness.

A consciousness of our powerlessness should cast us upon Him who has all power. Here then is where a vision and view of God's sovereignty helps, for it reveals His sufficiency and shows us our insufficiency.

The Christian life is a life that consists of following Jesus.

It is not the absence of sin but the grieving over it which distinguishes the child of God from empty professors.

Nothing is too great and nothing is too small to commit into the hands of the Lord.

Our first postulate is that because God is God, He does as He pleases, only as He pleases, always as He pleases; that His great concern is the accomplishment of His own pleasure and the promotion of His own glory that He is the Supreme Being, and therefore Sovereign of the universe.
