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.

Being in Christ, and united to Him, is the fundamental constitution of a Christian.

My brethren, when God first began to love you, He gave you all that He ever meant to give you in the lump, and eternity of time is that in which He is retailing of it out.

Oh despise not election! therein lies all your hope, that there is a remnant who shall infallibly be saved.

Glory in nothing, but only in this, that you are in Christ. For God chose you in him; the being you had was in him before the world was.

When God will have any great matters done, he sets his people's hearts to work at prayer by a kind of gracious instinct. He stirs them up and moves their hearts by the influence of his Holy Spirit.
