Often Satan injects pride into the believer's spirit, evoking in him an attitude of self-importance and of self-conceit. He causes him to esteem himself a very outstanding person, one who is indispensable in God's work. Such a spirit constitutes one of the major reasons for the fall of believers.

So we can say, reverently, that God never gave us the Law to keep: he gave us the Law to break! He well knew that we could not keep it.

And it is through conflict that God induces the believer to seek and to grasp total triumph in Christ.

The child of God ought to confess his weakness that he does not know how to pray, and petition the Holy Spirit to teach him.

Just as the right relationship with Christ generates a Christian, so the proper relationship with the Holy Spirit breeds a spiritual man.

Spiritual advancement is measured by faithful obedience.

One gains by losing self for others and not by hoarding for oneself.
