If you profess to be a child of God, leave it to the Lord Jesus to sanctify you in His own way.

If Christ had not gone to the cross and suffered in our stead, the just for the unjust, there would not have been a spark of hope for us. There would have been a mighty gulf between ourselves and God, which no man ever could have passed.

Nothing perhaps affects man's character more than the company he keeps

In Christ alone God’s rich provision of salvation for sinners is treasured up: by Christ alone God’s abundant mercies come down from heaven to earth. Christ’s blood alone can cleanse us; Christ’s righteousness alone can cleanse us; Christ’s merit alone can give us a title to heaven. Jews and Gentiles, learned and unlearned, kings and poor men--all alike must either be saved by the Lord Jesus, or lost forever.

If God has given His Son to die for us, let us beware of doubting His kindness and love in any painful providence of our daily life.

But if there is one thing clearly and plainly laid down about election, it is this: that elect men and women may be known and distinguished by holy lives.

No doubt men may easily think too little of God the Father, and God the Spirit, but no man ever thought too much of Christ.
