God knew what we were before conversion - wicked, guilty, and defiled; yet He loved us. He knows what we will be after conversion - weak, erring, and frail; yet He loves us.

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

Let us watch against pride in every shape - pride of intellect, pride of wealth, pride of our own goodness. Nothing is so likely to keep a person out of heaven, and prevent them from seeing Christ, as pride. So long as we think we are something we shall never be saved. Let us pray for and cultivate humility; let us seek to know ourselves correctly, and to find out our place in the sight of a holy God.

The devil has more knowledge than any of us, and yet is no better for it.

Without a thorough conviction of sin, men may seem to come to Jesus and follow Him for a season, but they will soon fall away and return to the world.

A tree may always be known by its fruit, and a true Christian may always be discovered by their habits, tastes & affections.

Growth in grace is one way to be happy in our religion. God has wisely linked together our comfort and our increase in holiness.
