It is faith alone that justifies, but faith that justifies can never be alone.

Let us fall before the majesty of our great God, acknowledging our faults, and praying that he will make us ever more conscious of them.

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.

Joy and patience are far above our strength... We must persevere in prayer that he may not permit our hearts to faint... Prayer and perseverance are necessary in our daily conflicts. The best remedy to the weariness is diligence in prayer.

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

We are surrounded by God’s benefits. The best use of these benefits is an unceasing expression of gratitude.

Only those who have learned well to be earnestly dissatisfied with themselves, and to be confounded with shame at their wretchedness truly understand the Christian gospel.
