We are dependent on the power of God to convert us and give faith in Jesus Christ and the new nature.

Men will trust in God no further than they know Him; and they cannot be in the exercise of faith in Him one ace further than they have a sight of His fulness and faithfulness in exercise.

Spiritual delight in God arises chiefly from his beauty and perfection, not from the blessings he gives us.

When God is about to bestow some great blessing on His church, it is often His manner, in the first place, so to order things in His providence as to show His church their great need of it, and to bring them into distress for want of it, and so put them upon crying earnestly to Him for it.

The wrath of God burns against them, their damnation does not slumber; the pit is prepared, the fire is made ready, the furnace is now hot, ready to receive them; the flames do now rage and glow.

There is nothing that keeps wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the mere pleasure of God

Haste and escape for your lives, look not behind you, escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.
