When the Lord Jesus Christ gives a man remission of sins, He also gives him repentance.

A converted man will not wish to go to heaven alone

No prayers can be heard which do not come from a forgiving heart.

A sin...consists in doing, saying, thinking, or imagining anything that is not in perfect conformity with the mind and law of God

A right knowledge of sin lies at the root of all saving Christianity.

No doubt a man may be saved, like the penitent thief, without having received the Lord's Supper. It is not a matter of absolute and indispensable necessity, like repentance, faith, and conversion. But it is impossible to say that any professing Christian is in a safe, healthy, or satisfactory condition of soul, who habitually refuses to obey Christ and attend the Lord's Table.

We are all so sunk in sin, and so wedded to the world, that we would never turn to God and seek salvation, unless He first called us by His grace. Without a divine call, no one can be saved.
