There is nothing that will keep a person from Christ like a good opinion of himself.

The law shows the distance that exists between God and man; the Gospel bridges that awful chasm and brings the sinner across it.

When we believe that we ought to be satisfied, rather than God glorified, we set God below ourselves, imagine that He should submit His own honor to our advantage; we make ourselves more glorious than God, as though we were not made for Him, but He made for us; this is to have a very low esteem of the majesty of God.

We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them.
