The Apostle Peter preaching on the day of Pentecost of the risen Savior, says, "God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ." And He speaks of Him as the anointed One, exalted at God's right hand. The Gospel is the Gospel of the Risen Christ. There would be no Gospel for sinners if Christ had not been raised. So the apostle says, "If Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins"

If lips and life do not agree, the testimony will not amount to much.

Christ is a substitute for everything, but nothing is a substitute for Christ.

It is well to remember that reading books about the Bible is a very different thing to searching the Word for oneself.

The Christian life is never static. One must either grow in grace, or there will be backsliding and deterioration.

We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction.

God-sent ministry, heeded and bowed to, leads to enlargement and blessing; but the Spirit's testimony rejected increases the guilt of him who hardens himself against it, and makes his condition far worse than before. It is ever the case that light refused makes the darkness all the deeper. Hence the need of a tender conscience, quick to respond to every word from God.
