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

Your state is not at all to be measured by the opposition that sin makes to you, but by the opposition you make to it.

We all profess that we are bound for heaven, immortality, and glory: but is it any evidence that we really design it if all our thoughts are consumed about the trifles of this world, which we must leave behind us, and have only occasional thoughts of things above?

In or towards whomsoever the Holy Spirit puts forth His power, or acts his grace for their regeneration, he removes all obstacles, overcomes all oppositions, and infallibly produces the intended effect.

He who prays as he ought will endeavor to live as he prays.

There is only one way to be revived and healed from our backslidings so that we may become fruitful even in old age. We must take a steady look at the glory of Christ in His special character, in His grace and work, as shown to us in the Scripture.

To those to whom Christ is the hope of future glory, he is also the life of present grace.
