Set faith at work on Christ for the killing of thy sin. His blood is the great sovereign remedy for sin-sick souls. Live in this, and thou wilt die a conqueror; yea, thou wilt, through the good providence of God, live to see thy lust dead at thy feet.

Did you never run for shelter in a storm, and find fruit which you expected not? Did you never go to God for safeguard, driven by outward storms, and there find unexpected fruit?

The person who understands the evil in his own heart is the only person who is useful, fruitful, and solid in his beliefs and obedience.

A true saving knowledge of sin is to be had only in the Lord Christ: in him may we see the desert of our iniquities.
