Christ is the most perfect image of God, into which we are so renewed as to bear the image of God, in knowledge, purity, righteousness, and true holiness.

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

However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.

By predestination we mean the eternal decree of God, by which He determined with Himself whatever He wished to happen with regard to every man

The whole comes to this, that Christ, when he produces faith in us by the agency of his Spirit, at the same time ingrafts us into his body, that we may become partakers of all spiritual blessings.

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

While all men seek after happiness, scarcely one in a hundred looks for it from God.
