All converted people should labor to adorn the doctrine they profess by humility. If they can do nothing else, they can strive to be humble.

Election is always to sanctification. Where there is no visible fruit of sanctification, we may be sure there is no election.

On the one hand stand salvation by free grace for Christ's sake; but on the other stands renewal of the carnal heart by the Spirit. We must be changed as well as forgiven; we must be renewed as well as redeemed.

If we are true Christians, we must not expect everything smooth in our journey to heaven. We must count it no strange thing, if we have to endure sicknesses, losses, bereavements, and disappointments, just like other men. Free pardon and full forgiveness, grace along the way, and glory at the endall this our Savior has promised to give. But He has never promised that we shall have no afflictions.

It is not hard to deceive ministers, relatives and friends. But it is impossible to deceive Christ.
