Moreover, as God respects no persons, so He respects no conditions upon which He gives salvation to us.

God works with power, and can make the unwilling willing; if He undertakes the conversion of a soul, it will be converted. All the pious workings of our heart towards God are the fruit and consequence of the powerful working of His grace in us.

Our prayers are granted as soon as we have prayed, even though the process of fulfilling our requests has not yet begun.

Those blessings are sweetest that are won with prayers and won with thanks.

What is the cause of all God's purposes towards us? Himself. There is no other cause.

If I were to go to heaven, and find that Christ was not there, I would leave immediately; for heaven without Christ would be hell to me.

Heaven would be hell to me without Christ.
