The law sends us to Christ to be justified, and Christ sends us to the law to be regulated.

The more afflictions you have been under, the more assistance you have had for this life of holiness.

Surely if He would not spare His own Son one stroke, one tear, one groan, one sigh, one circumstance of misery, it can never be imagined that ever He should, after this, deny or withhold from His people, for whose sakes all this was suffered, any mercies, any comforts, any privilege, spiritual or temporal, which is good for them.
