Whatever call a man may pretend to have, if he has not been called to holiness, he certainly has not been called to the ministry.

The verb 'highly favored' (Luke 1:28) is the same as 'made us accepted' in Ephesians 1:6, referring to all of God's children. All true believers have been 'highly graced' by the Lord.

Repentance and desires after holiness never be separated.

You say, 'On the off chance that I had somewhat more, I ought to be exceptionally fulfilled.' You commit an error. On the off chance that you are not content with what you have, you would not be fulfilled in the event that it were multiplied.

Repentance will not make you see Christ; but to see Christ will give you repentance.

Our best performances are so stained with sin, that it is hard to know whether they are good works or bad works.

May your convictions be deep, your love real, and your desires earnest
