It is the saint's duty, and should be their care, not only to believe that God is Almighty, but also to strongly believe that His almighty power is engaged for our defense and help in all of our straits and temptations.

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

Blind zeal is soon put to a shameful retreat, while holy resolution, built on fast principles, lifts up its head like a rock in the midst of the waves.

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.

We must not confide in the armour of God, but in the God of this armour, because all our weapons are only mighty through God.

Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.

As you love your peace, Christian, be plain-hearted with God and man, and keep the king's highway.
