Pride is self contending with God for preeminence.

Assurance is the fruit that grows out of the root of faith.

How worthy it is to remember former benefits when we come to beg for new.

In regard of God, patience is a submission to His sovereignty. To endure a trial, simply because we cannot avoid or resist it, is not Christian patience. But to humbly submit because it is the will of God to inflict the trial, to be silent because the sovereignty of God orders it - is true godly patience.

Since nothing but God is eternal, nothing but God is worth the loving.

Unbelief was the first sin, and pride was the first-born of it.

The little time that remains between this moment and our death, should quicken our diligence to inherit the endless and unchangeable eternity of God.
