The 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.
Richard SibbesWhen we go to God by prayer, the devil knows we go to fetch strength against him, and therefore he opposes us all he can.
