Herein Would I Live; Herein Would I

When We Have Communion With God In The Doctrine We Contend For-then Shall We Be Garrisoned By The Grace Of God Against All The Assaults Of Men.

For To Pretend That Men May Live Habitually Sinful Lives Without Any Attempt By The Spirit To Mortify Sin In Them, Nor With Any Desire For Repentance, Is To Deny The Christian Religion.

All Other Ways Of Mortification Are Vain, All Helps Leave Us Helpless; It Must Be Done By The Spirit.

I Have Known Some Good Men Who Have Been So Addicted To Their Study, That They Have Thought The Last Day Of The Week Sufficient To Prepare For Their Ministry, Though They Employ All The Rest Of The Week In Other Studies. But Your Business Is To Trade With Your Spiritual Abilities. ... A Man May Preach A Very Good Sermon, Who Is Otherwise Himself; But He Will Never Make A Good Minister Of Jesus Christ, Whose Mind And Heart Are Not Always In The Work. Spiritual Gifts Will Require Continual Ruminating On The Things Of The Gospel In Our Minds.

There Neither Is, Nor Ever Was, In The World, Nor Ever Shall Be, The Least Dram Of Holiness, But What, Flowing From Jesus Christ, Is Communicated By The Spirit, According To The Truth And Promise Of The Gospel.
