The seeking of the kingdom of God is the chief business of the Christian life

A truly Christian love, either to God or men, is a humble broken-hearted love. The desires of the saints, however earnest, are humble desires. Their hope is a humble hope; and their joy, even when it is unspeakable and full of glory, is a humble broken-hearted joy, and leaves the Christian more poor in spirit, and more like a little child, and more disposed to a universal lowliness of behaviour.

Resolved, never henceforward, till I die, to act as if I were any way my own, but entirely and altogether God's.

To mark all that I say in conversation, merely to beget in others, a good opinion of myself, and examine it.

If there be ground for you to trust in your own righteousness, then, all that Christ did to purchase salvation, and all that God did to prepare the way for it is in vain.

Christ gives peace to the most sinful and miserable that come to Him. He heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds.

There are two sorts of hypocrites: ones that are deceived with their outward morality and external religion; and the others are those that are deceived with false discoveries and elevation; which often cry down works, and men's own righteousness, and tlak much of free grace, but at the same time make a righteousness of their discoveries and of their humiliation, and exalt themselves to heaven with them.
