Temptation gains power by persistent solicitations that beget thoughts that make evil less serious

He that loves works out good to those that he loves, as he is able. God's power and will are equal; what He wills He works.

Let our hearts admit, “I am poor and weak. Satan is too subtle, too cunning, too powerful; he watches constantly for advantages over my soul. The world presses in upon me with all sorts of pressures, pleas, and pretences. My own corruption is violent, tumultuous, enticing, and entangling. As it conceives sin, it wars within me and against me. Occasions and opportunities for temptation are innumerable. No wonder I do not know how deeply involved I have been with sin. Therefore, on God alone will I rely for my keeping. I will continually look to Him.

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

Pardon comes not to the soul alone; or rather, Christ comes not to the soul with pardon only! It is that which He opens the door and enters by, but He comes with a Spirit of life and power.
