We are to be strong in faith, and soft in love.

The chief reason people do not know God is not because He hides from them but because they hide from Him.

Without the Holy Spirit, Christian discipleship would be inconceivable, even impossible. There can be no life without the life-giver, no understanding without the Spirit of truth, no fellowship without the unity of the Spirit, no Christlikeness of character apart from His fruit, and no effective witness without His power. As a body without breath is a corpse, so the church without the Spirit is dead.

Circumcision stands for a religion of human achievement, of what man can do by his own good works; Christ stands for a religion of divine achievement, of what God has done through the finished work of Christ.

God does not love us because Christ died for us; Christ died for us because God loved us.

We do not need to wait for the Holy Spirit to come: he came on the day of Pentecost. He has never left the church.

God has clothed His thoughts in words, and there is no way to know Him except by knowing the Scriptures.
