Grace is more than mercy and love. It super-adds to them. It denotes, not simply love, but the love of a sovereign, transcendent Superior. One that may do what He will. That may wholly choose whether He will love or no. Now God, who is an infinite Sovereign, who might have chosen whether ever He would love us or no; for Him to love us, this is Grace.

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

It was both Abraham's and the Jews' privilege also that they should have this promise to all generations.

The children of believing parents, at least their next and immediate seed, even of us Gentiles now under the gospel, are included by God within the covenant of grace.

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

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

The most thankful person is the most fully human.
