This is a life of faith, for God will try the truth of our faith, so that the world may see that God has such servants as will depend upon His bare word.
Richard SibbesThe life of a Christian should be a meditation how to unloose his affection from inferior things. He will easily die that is dead before in affection.
Richard SibbesSee here, for our comfort, a sweet agreement of all three persons: the Father giveth a commission to Christ; the Spirit furnisheth and sanctifieth to it; Christ himself executeth the office of a Mediator. Our redemption is founded upon the joint agreement of all three persons of the Trinity.
