God has one destined end for mankind - holiness! His one aim is the production of saints. God is not an eternal blessing-machine for men. He did not come to save men out of pity. He came to save men because He had created them to be holy.

God always ignores the present perfection for the ultimate perfection.

Forgiveness is the divine miracle of grace. The cost to God was the Cross of Christ.

Theology must work itself out in the most practical relationships.

Faith is unutterable trust in God, trust which never dreams that He will not stand by us.

There is nothing attractive about the gospel to the natural man; the only man who finds the gospel attractive is the man who is convicted of sin.

We are apt to think that everything that happens to us is to be turned into useful teaching; it is to be turned into something better than teaching, into character. We shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us something but to make us something.
