That Bible is read best, which is practised most.

The beginning of the way to heaven, is to feel that we are on the way to hell.

The heart that has really tasted the grace of Christ, will instinctively hate sin.

God does not look at riches, titles, education, or beauty. There is only one thing that God does look at, and that is the soul.

The cross is the foundation of the Bible: If you have not yet found out that Christ crucified is the foundation of the whole volume, you have hitherto read your Bible to very little profit. Your religion is a heaven without a sun, an arch without a keystone, a compass without a needle, a clock without a spring or weights, a lamp without oil. It will not comfort you; it will not deliver your soul from hell.

The true Christian regards all Christ's friends as his friends, members of the same body, children of the same family, soldiers in the same army, travelers to the same home. When he meets them, he feels as if he had long known them. He is more at home with them in a few minutes, than he is with many worldly people after an acquaintance of several years. And what is the secret of all this? It is simply affection to the same Savior and love to the same Lord.

In justification the word to be addressed to man is believe - only believe; in sanctification the word must be 'watch, pray, and fight.'
