People will never set their faces decidedly towards heaven, and live like pilgrims, until they really feel that they are in danger of hell.

Blessed are they who feel like pilgrims and strangers in this life, and whose best things are all to come!

O Christian, look up and take comfort. Jesus has prepared a place for you, and those who follow Him shall never perish, neither shall anyone pluck them out of His hands.

Wealth is no mark of God’s favor. Poverty is no mark of God’s displeasure.

The world's idea of greatness is to rule, but Christian greatness consists in serving.

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.

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