The Christian is bred by the Word, and he must be fed by it.

Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.

Christ will bear no equal, and Satan no superior; and therefore, hold in with both thou canst not.

The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.

Therefore tremble, O man, at any power thou hast, except thou usest it for God. Art thou strong in body; who hath thy strength? God, or thy lusts?

Truly, hope is the saint's covering, wherein he wraps himself, when he lays his body down to sleep in the grave: "My flesh," saith David, "shall rest in hope."

God is almighty to pardon, but He will not use His power for a shameless sinner. He is able to save and help in time of need, but if you have not repented, how can you expect His aid? The same power God expends on the believer's salvation will be spent on your damnation, for He has bound Himself under oath to destroy every impenitent soul.
