I Assert That Nothing Ever Comes To

We Are Dependent On God's Power Through Every Step Of Our Redemption.

Because God Is Not Only Infinitely Greater And More Excellent Than All Other Being, But He Is The Head Of The Universal System Of Existence; The Foundation And Fountain Of All Being And All Beauty; From Whom All Is Perfectly Derived, And On Whom All Is Most Absolutely And Perfectly Dependent; Of Whom, And Through Whom, And To Whom Is All Being And All Perfection; And Whose Being And Beauty Are, As It Were, The Sum And Comprehension Of All Existence And Excellence: Much More Than The Sun Is The Fountain And Summary Comprehension Of All The Light And Brightness Of The Day.

He That Has Doctrinal Knowledge And Speculation Only, Without Affection, Never Is Engaged In The Business Of Religion.

Religion Consists Much In Holy Affection; But Those Exercises Of Affection Which Are Most Distinguishing Of True Religion Are These Practical Exercises. Friendship Between Earthly Friends Consists Much In Affection; But Those Strong Exercises Of Affection That Actually Carry Them Through Fire And Water For Each Other Are The Highest Evidences Of True Friendship.

Your Wickedness Makes You As It Were Heavy As Lead, And To Tend Downwards With Great Weight And Pressure Towards Hell; And If God Should Let You Go, You Would Immediately Sink And Switfly Descend And Plunge Into The Bottomless Gulf, And Your Healthy Constitution, And Your Own Care And Prudence, And Best Contrivance, And All Your Righteousness, Would Have No More Influence To Uphold You And Keep You Out Of Hell, Than A Spider's Web Would Have To Stop A Fallen Rock.
