The Life of true holiness is rooted in the soil of awed adoration

There is tremendous relief in knowing that His love to me is based at every point on prior knowledge of the worst about me.

There is no peace like the peace of those whose minds are possessed with full assurance that they have known God, and God has known them, and that this relationship guarantees God’s favor to them in life, through death and on for ever.

God's love is an exercise of his goodness toward sinners who merit only condemnation.

Repentance, as we know, is basically not moaning and remorse, but turning and change.

Adoption is the highest privilege that the gospel offers: higher even than justification.. . To be right with God the Judge is a great thing, but to be loved and cared for by God the Father is greater.

But that is not because these principles are traditional; it is because they are biblical. There is certainly an arrogant, hide-bound type of traditionalism, unthinking and uncritical, which is carnal and devilish. But there is also a respectful willingness to take help from the Church's past in order to understand the Bible in the present; and such traditionalism is spiritual and Christian.
