Christ bounds and terminates the vast desires of the soul; He is the very Sabbath of the soul.
John FlavelAs the blood of Christ is the fountain of all merit, so the Spirit of Christ is the fountain of all spiritual life; and until he quicken us and infuse the principle of the divine life into our souls, we can put forth no hand, or vital act of faith, to lay hold upon Jesus Christ.
John FlavelDid Christ finish His work for us? Then there can be no doubt but He will also finish His work in us.
John FlavelHow often has providence convinced its observers, upon a sober recollection of the events of their lives, that if the Lord had left them to their own counsels they had as often been their own tormentors, if not executioners!
