Christian, your whole life is to be one continuous following of the Lord.

It is to the dead that the life comes; it is to the unloveable that the love comes; it is to the lost that the salvation comes.

A ministry of power must be the fruit of a holy, peaceful, loving intimacy with the Lord.

All unbelief is the belief of a lie.

The gospel is the proclamation of free love; the revelation of the boundless charity of God. Nothing less than this will suit our world; nothing else is so likely to touch the heart, to go down to the lowest depths of depraved humanity, as the assurance that the sinner has been loved -- loved by God, loved with a righteous love, loved with a free love that makes no bargain as to merit, or fitness, or goodness.

Thus is Jesus in all respects fitted for his mighty work of redeeming. He is very man and very God. He is the seed of the woman, the seed of Abraham, the seed of David, the son of Mary, yet God over all, blessed forever. Thus He can bear our sins; He can sympathize with our sorrows; He can fight our battles; He can love as a man, a fellow man, bone of our bone, and flesh of our flesh.

In all unbelief there are these two things: a good opinion of one's self, and a bad opinion of God.
