Faith does not proceed from ourselves, but is the fruit of spiritual regeneration.

There is no inconsistency in saying that God rewards good works, provided we understand that nevertheless men obtain eternal life gratuitously.

Unless we endeavor to do good to our neighbor, through our cruelty we transgress this law

The answer of our prayers is secured by the fact that in rejecting them God would in a certain sense deny His own nature.

The sum is, that the worship of God must be spiritual, in order that it may correspond with His nature. For although Moses only speaks of idolatry, yet there is no doubt but that by synecdoche, as in all the rest of the law, he condemns all fictitious services which men in their ingenuity have invented.

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

All the blessings we enjoy are Divine deposits, committed to our trust on this condition, that they should be dispensed for the benefit of our neighbors.
