When the Holy Spirit sanctifies believers, he does a complete work in them. He puts into their minds, wills and hearts a gracious, supernatural principle which fills them with a holy desire to live to God. The whole life and being of holiness lies in this. This is the new creation.

There is a state of perfect peace with God to be attained under imperfect obedience.

As a tender and loving friend is grieved at the unkindness of his friend... so is it with this tender and loving Spirit, who hath chosen our hearts for a habitation to dwell in.

The custom of sinning takes away the sense of it, the course of the world takes away the shame of it.

God never intended for us to be left to pray on our own. God never changes His purpose, but He often does purpose a change.

Christ by his death destroying the works of the devil, procuring the Spirit for us, hath so killed sin, as to its reign in believers, that it shall not obtain its end and dominion.

All other ways of mortification are vain, all helps leave us helpless; it must be done by the Spirit.
