For the infinite glorious Creator of all things, to become a creature, is a mystery exceeding all human understanding.

As 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.

Christ's resurrection is the ground-work of our hope. And the new birth is our title or evidence of our interest in it.

The carnal person fears man, not God. The strong Christian fears God, not man. The weak Christian fears man too much, and God too little.

God's unspotted faithfulness never failed any soul that durst trust himself in its arms.

O my soul, I am now addressing myself to the greatest work that ever a creature was employed about - I am going into the solemn presence of God about business of everlasting importance!

When God gives you comforts, it is your great evil not to observe His hand in them.
