True conversion means turning not only from sin but also from depending on self-made righteousness. Those who trust in their own righteousness for conversion hide behind their own good works. This is the reason that self-righteous people are so angry with gospel preachers, because the gospel does not spare those who will not submit to the righteousness of Jesus Christ!

No, the religion of Jesus is a social religion.

The Lord Jesus sits in heaven, ruling over all, and causing all things to work for his children's good.

Let my name die everywhere, let even my friends forget me, if by that means the cause of the blessed Jesus may be promoted

All our afflictions, all our temptations are to make heaven more desirable, and earth more loathsome.

And now let me address all of you, high and low, rich and poor, one with another, to accept of mercy and grace while it is offered to you; Now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation; and will you not accept it, now it is offered unto you?

Fight the good fight of faith, and God will give you spiritual mercies.
