Sow truth, if thou the truth wouldst reap: Who sows the false shall reap the vain.

Upon a life I did not live, upon a death I did not die; another's life, another's death, I stake my whole eternity.

We are forgiven, that we may be like Him who forgives us.

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

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.

In order to grow in grace, we must be much alone. It is not in society that the soul grows most vigorously. In one single quiet hour of prayer it will often make more progress than in days of company with others. It is in the desert that the dew falls freshest and the air its purest.

...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.
