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

The best of men are only men at their very best. Patriarchs, prophets, and apostles, - martyrs, fathers, reformers, puritans, - all are sinners, who need a Savior: holy, useful, honorable in their place - but sinners after all.

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.

Assurance of hope is more than life, it is health, strength, power, vigor, activity, energy, manliness, beauty.

The chief end for which He lived and died was to provide eternal redemption for mankind.
