There is no death of sin without the death of Christ.

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 did not die for any upon condition, if they do believe; but He died for all God's elect, that they should believe.

Temptation gains power where we see it prevail in others we know and we express neither shock or hatred of them and their ways nor pity and prayer for their deliverance.

Satan's greatest success is in making people think they have plenty of time before they die to consider their eternal welfare.

The love of God is like himself – equal, constant, not capable of augmentation or diminution; our love is like ourselves – unequal, increasing, waning, growing, declining. His, like the sun, always the same in its light, though a cloud may sometimes interpose; ours, as the moon, has its enlargements and straightenings.

So great an advantage is given to sin and Satan by your temper and disposition, that without extraordinary watchfulness, care, and diligence, they will prevail against your soul.
