...the cross saves completely, or not at all. Our faith does not divide the work of salvation between itself and the cross. It is the acknowledgment that the cross alone saves, and that it saves alone. Faith adds nothing to the cross, nor to its healing virtue.

The believed gospel saves; but it is the believed promise that assures us of this salvation.

Think truly, and thy thoughts shall the world's famine feed.

Faith does not come to Calvary to do anything. It comes to see the glorious spectacle of all things done, and to accept this completion without a misgiving as to its efficacy. It listens to the It is finished! of the Sin-bearer, and says, Amen.

In religion faith does not spring out of feeling, but feeling out of faith. The less we feel the more we should trust. We cannot feel right till we have believed.

Out of His fulness we receive, and grace for grace, — like wave upon wave.

Thy way, not mine, O Lord, however dark it be; lead me by thine own hand; choose out the path for me.
