The Law requires much, but offers no help in the carrying out of its requirements. The Lord Jesus requires just as much, yea even more (Matt. 5:21-48), but what he requires from us he himself carries out in us. The law makes demands and leaves us helpless to fulfill them; Christ makes demands, but he himself fulfills in us the very demands he makes.

Revelation is the first step to holiness, and consecration is the second. A day must come in our lives, as definite as the day of our conversion, when we give up all right to ourselves and submit to the absolute Lordship of Jesus Christ.

A born-again person ought to possess unspeakable peace in the spirit.

God not only wants to break the outer man...He wants our spirit and our soul...our inner man and outer man to be separated from each other.

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

The Christian life from start to finish is based upon this principle of utter dependence upon the Lord Jesus.

God will not give me humility, or patience, or holiness, or love as separate investments of His grace. He has given only one gift to meet our need, His Son Christ Jesus.
