It must be observed, that the best of men, the most holy and spiritually minded, may have, nay, ought to have, their thoughts of spiritual things excited, multiplied, and confirmed, by the preaching of the word.

Nothing shall be lost that is done for God or in obedience to Him.

For to pretend that men may live habitually sinful lives without any attempt by the Spirit to mortify sin in them, nor with any desire for repentance, is to deny the Christian religion.

I do not understand how a man can be a true believer, in whom sin is not the greatest burden, sorrow and trouble.

The mortification of indwelling sin remaining in our mortal bodies, that it may not have life and power to bring forth the works or deeds of the flesh is the constant duty of believers.

Free will is "corrupted nature's deformed darling, the Pallas or beloved self-conception of darkened minds"

A true saving knowledge of sin is to be had only in the Lord Christ: in him may we see the desert of our iniquities.
