No repentance, obedience, self-denial, prayers, tears, reformation or ordinances, without the new creation, avail any thing to the salvation of thy soul.

As God did not at first choose you because you were high, He will not now forsake you because you are low.

Jesus, our head, is already in heaven; and if the head be above water, the body cannot drown.

One word of God can do more than ten thousand words of men to relieve a distressed soul.

If God has given you but a small portion of the world, yet if you are godly He has promised never to forsake you (Heb. 13:5).

If you had more of the world than you have, your heads and hearts might not be able to manage it to your advantage.
