Let this one great, gracious, glorious fact lie in your spirit until it permeates all your thoughts and makes you rejoice even though you are without strength. Rejoice that the Lord Jesus has become your strength and your song - He has become your salvation.

The joys of heaven will surely compensate for the sorrows of earth.

If God requires of the sinner, dead in sin, that he should take the first step, then he requires just that which renders salvation as impossible under the gospel as it was under the law, since man is as unable to believe as he is to obey.

Known to the Lord from the beginning were all your sins. Nevertheless, He still loved you.

You will always know whether you are delivered from the guilt of sin by answering this question: Am I delivered from the love of sin?

There is a general kind of praying which fails for lack of precision. It is as if a regiment of soldiers should all fire off their guns anywhere. Possibly somebody would be killed, but the majority of the enemy would be missed.

God is too good to be unkind, too wise to be mistaken; and when you cannot trace His hand, you can trust His heart.
