The weightiest end of the cross of Christ that is laid upon you, lieth upon your strong Savior.

If so be that freewill were our tutor, and we had our heaven in our own keeping, then we would lose all. But because we have Christ for our tutor, and He has our heaven in His hand, therefore the covenant it must be perpetual.

When I look to my guiltiness, I see that my salvation is one of our Saviour's greatest miracles, either in heaven or earth.

I think it is possible on earth to build a young, new Jerusalem, a little, new heaven of this surpassing love. God, either send me more of this love, or take me quickly over the water, where I may be filled with his love.

My dear friend, venture to take the wind on your face for Christ.

Through many afflictions we must enter into the kingdom of God ... It is folly to think to steal to heaven with a whole skin.
