Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.

Intend to live in continual mortification, and never to expect or desire any worldly ease or pleasure.

All the fruits of the Spirit which we are to lay weight upon as evidential of grace, are summed up in charity, or Christian love; because this is the sum of all grace. And the only way, therefore, in which any can know their good estate, is by discerning the exercises of this divine charity in their hearts; for without charity, let men have what gifts you please, they are nothing.

A true love for God must begin with a delight in His holiness, and not with a delight in any other attribute; for no other attribute is truly lovely without this.

From love arises hatred of those things which are contrary to what we love, or which oppose and thwart us in those things that we delight in.

Every Christian that goes before us from this world is a ransomed spirit waiting to welcome us in heaven.

Truth is the agreement of our ideas with the ideas of God.
