Everlasting life is a jewel of too great a value to be purchased by the wealth of this world.
Matthew HenryGod cannot be represented by an image. We ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. We wrong God, and put an affront upon him, if we think so. God honoured man in making his soul after his own likeness; but man dishonours God if he makes him after the likeness of his body. The Godhead is spiritual, infinite, immaterial, incomprehensible, and therefore it is a very false and unjust conception which an image gives us of God.
Matthew HenryFor love is of God. He is the fountain, author, parent, and commander of love; it is the sum of his law and gospel.
Matthew HenryPrayer is the breath of the new man, drawing in the air of mercy in petitions, and returning it in praises; it proves and maintains the spiritual life.
