The friend of God must not spend a day without God, and he must undertake no work apart from his God.

No matter how good you think yourself to be, you cannot enter heaven unless it is under the terms of sovereign grace.

You never hear Jesus say in Pilate's judgement hall one word that would let you imagine that He was sorry that He had undertaken so costly a sacrifice for us. When His hands are pierced, when He is parched with fever, His tongue dried up like a shard of pottery, when His whole body is dissolved into the dust of death, you never hear a groan or a shriek that looks like Jesus is going back on His commitment.
