Never was sin seen to be more abominably sinful and full of provocation than when the burden of it was upon the shoulders of the Son of God...Would you, then, see the true demerit of sin?-take the measure of it from the mediation of Christ, especially his cross.

Then are we servants of God, then are we the disciples of Christ, when we do what is commanded us and because it is commanded us.

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

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.

There is not a day but sin foils or is foiled, prevails or is prevailed on; and it will be so whilst we live in this world.

Ignorance of God and of ourselves is the great principle and cause of all our disquietments; and, this ariseth mostly not from want of light and instruction, but for want of consideration and application.

We need to attend diligently to the state of our soul, and to deal fervently and effectively with God about it.
