If our principal treasure be as we profess, in things spiritual and heavenly, and woe unto us if it be not so! on them will our affections, and consequently our desires and thoughts, be principally fixed.

What do we want? What would we be at? What do our souls desire? Is it not that we might have a more full, clear, stable comprehension of the wisdom, love, grace, goodness, holiness, righteousness, and power of God, as declared and exalted in Christ unto our redemption and eternal salvation?

A man may easier see without eyes, speak without a tongue, than truly mortify one sin without the Spirit.

Indwelling sin always abides whilst we are in this world; therefore it is always to be mortified.

...but let it suffice us to know that it became God, who is the supreme Ruler, Governor and Judge of all that sin should be punished with death in the sinner or his surety; and therefore if God would bring many sons to glory, the Captain of their salvation must undergo sufferings and death, to make satisfaction for them.

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

Christ's blood is the great sovereign remedy for sin-sick souls.
