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

Whether God has decreed all things that ever come to pass or not, all that own the being of a God, own that He knows all things beforehand. Now, it is self-evident that if He knows all things beforehand, He either doth approve of them or doth not approve of them; that is, He either is willing they should be, or He is not willing they should be. But to will that they should be is to decree them.

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

If you long to be more like Christ, then act like Him, and walk as He walked.

Resolved, never to speak evil of anyone, so that it shall tend to his dishonor, more or less, upon no account except for some real good.

Jesus Christ is both the only price and sacrifice by which eternal redemption is obtained for believers.

Why should not He had made all things, still having something immediately to do with the things that He has made? Where lies the great difficulty, if we own the being of a God, that He created all things out of nothing, I'll be allowing something immediate influence of God on creation still?
