The love of the Bible will show itself in a believer's actions.

True repentance is no light matter. It is a thorough change of heart about sin, a change showing itself in godly sorrow and humiliation - in heartfelt confession before the throne of grace - in a complete breaking off from sinful habits, and an abiding hatred of all sin. Such repentance is the inseparable companion of saving faith in Christ.

The nearer we live to God while we live, the more ready we will be to dwell forever in His presence when we die.

Every fresh act of sin lessens fear and remorse, hardens our hearts, blunts the edge of our conscience, and increases our evil inclination.

Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just. Such a God is an idol of your own.

The minister who keeps back hell from his people in his sermons is neither a faithful nor a charitable man.

True faith will always show itself by its fruits . . . I suspect that, with rare exceptions, men die just as they have lived.
