The whole gospel is contained in Christ.

I exhort all, who reverence the Word of the Lord, to read it, and diligently imprint it on their memory.

The Scriptures should be read with the aim of finding Christ in them. Whoever turns aside from this object, even though he wears himself out all his life in learning, he will never reach the knowledge of the truth.

The sufferings of Christ are the means of forgiveness of sin and eternal glory

In forming an estimate of sins, we are often imposed upon by imagining that the more hidden the less heinous they are.

No one will calmly and quietly submit to bear the cross except those who have learned to seek their happiness beyond this world.

To have a proper understanding of the gospel, we must recognise that we need to lean entirely upon the Lord Jesus Christ and his mercy alone as our only hope of salvation. ... No one can be justified by the law; justification is through faith alone.
