Mortification is the soul's vigorous opposition to self, wherein sincerity is most evident.

Nothing shall be lost that is done for God or in obedience to Him.

Christ so loves his people that he sings with joy over them.

The purpose of our holy and righteous God was to save his church, but their sin could not go unpunished. It was, therefore, necessary that the punishment for that sin be transferred from those who deserved it but could not bear it, to one who did not deserve it but was able to bear it.

Without absolutes revealed from without by God Himself, we are left rudderless in a sea of conflicting ideas about manners, justice and right and wrong, issuing from a multitude of self-opinionated thinkers.

There is no true gospel fruit without faith and repentance.

Sin will be always acting, if we be not always mortifying, we are lost creatures.
