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

We ought as much to pray for a blessing upon our daily rod as upon our daily bread.

Sin also carries on its war by entangling the affections and drawing them into an alliance against the mind. Grace may be enthroned in the mind, but if sin controls the affections, it has seized a fort from which it will continually assault the soul.
