In praying for His enemies not only did Christ set before us a perfect example of how we should treat those who wrong us an hate us, but He also taught us never to regard any as beyond the reach of prayer.

Grace can neither be bought, earned, or won by the creature. If it could be, it would cease to be grace.

Growing in grace is a deepening realization of our nothingness; it is a heartfelt recognition that we are not worthy of the least of God's mercies.

God has often given His people favor in the sight of heathen masters (as Joseph and Daniel), and has magnified the sufficiency of His grace by preserving their souls in the midst of the most unpromising environments. His saints are found in very unlikely places.

Prayer is the way and means God has appointed for the communication of the blessings of His goodness to His people.

Where sin had brought men, love brought the Saviour.

Christ is the Divine answer to the Devil's overthrow of our first parents.
