In Christian work our initiative and motivation are too often simply the result of realizing that there is work to be done and that we must do it. Yet that is never the attitude of a spiritually vigorous saint. His aim is to achieve the realization of Jesus Christ in every set of circumstances.

The greatest competitor of true devotion to Jesus is the service we do for Him. It is easier to serve than to pour out our lives completely for Him.

Measure your growth in grace by your sensitiveness to sin.

If sin rules in me, God's life in me will be killed; if God rules in me, sin in me will be killed.

Sanctification means the impartation of the Holy qualities of Jesus Christ. It is His patience, His love, His holiness, His faith, His purity, His godliness, that is manifested in and through every sanctified soul. Sanctification is not drawing from Jesus the power to be holy; it is drawing from Jesus the holiness that was manifested in Him, and He manifests it in me.

The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service for Him.

We trample the blood of the Son of God underfoot if we think we are forgiven because we are sorry for our sins.
