Love is no ingredient in a merely speculative faith, but it is the life and soul of a practical faith.

Wicked people will on the day of judgment see all there is to see of Jesus Christ, except His beauty and loveliness

A man who knows that he lives in sin against God will not be inclined to come daily into the presence of God.

The view of the misery of the damned will double the ardour of the love and gratitude of the saints of heaven.

They who truly come to God for mercy, come as beggars, and not as creditors: they come for mere mercy, for sovereign grace, and not for anything that is due

The door of God’s mercy is thrown wide open, and Christ stands in the door and says to sinners ‘Come.’

As it is with spiritual discoveries and affections given at first conversion, so it is in all subsequent illuminations and affections of that kind; they are all transforming. There is a like divine power and energy in them as in the first discoveries; they still reach the bottom of the heart, and affect and alter the very nature of the soul, in proportion to the degree in which they are given. And a transformation of nature is continued and carried on by them to the end of life, until it is brought to perfection in glory.
