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 is like a knife, that may either cut the meat or the throat of a man; it may be his food or his poison, his exercise or his destruction

He that hath slight thoughts of sin, never had great thoughts of God.

The natural man "cannot see or discern that divine excellency in the Scripture, without an apprehension whereof no man can believe it aright to be the word of God."

A man preacheth that sermon only well unto others which preacheth itself in his own soul. And he that doth not feed on and thrive in the digestion of the food which he provides for others will scarce make it savoury unto them; yea, he knows not but the food he hath provided may be poison, unless he have really tasted of it himself. If the word do not dwell with power in us, it will not pass with power from us.

It is evident that you contend against sin merely because of how it troubles you.

He that is more frequent in his pulpit to his people than he is in his closet for his people, is but a sorry watchman.
