The first act of religion, therefore, concerns those things which are communicated to us from God. The other concerns those things which we yield to God.

Although the whole man partakes of this grace, it is first and most appropriately in the soul and later progresses to the body, inasmuch as the body of the man is capable of the same obedience to the will of God as the soul.

The will of God is eternal because He does not begin to will what He did not will before, nor cease to will what He willed before.

The efficiency of God may be understood as either creation or providence.

The passive receiving of Christ is the process by which a spiritual principle of grace is generated in the will of man.

The attributes of God tell us what He is and who He is.

The ordinary ministry is that which receives all of its direction from the will of God revealed in the Scriptures and from those means which God has appointed in the church for its continual edification.
