If We Believe Not With Faith Divine

Whatever Vices And Corruptions Men See In The Lives Of Their Ministers Will Not Be Attributed To The Depravity Of Their Old Nature Which Still Abides In Them, But To The Gospel.

We Must Not Be Concerned Only With That Which Troubles Us, But With All That Troubles God.

The Scripture Abounds In Commands And Cautions For Our Utmost Diligence In Our Search And Inquiry As To Whether We Are Made Partakers Of Christ Or Not, Or Whether His Spirit Dwells In Us Or Not-which Argue Both The Difficulty Of Attaining An Assured Confidence Herein, As Also The Danger Of Our Being Mistaken, And Yet The Certainty Of A Good Issue Upon The Diligent And Regular Use Of Means To That Purpose.

Hatred Of Sin As Sin, Not Only As Galling Or Disquieting, A Sense Of The Love Of Christ In The Cross, Lie At The Bottom Of All True Spiritual Mortification.

When The Heart Is Once Won To Rest In God, To Repose Himself On Him, He Will Assuredly Satisfy It. He Will Never Be As Water That Fails; Nor Hath He Said At Any Time To The Seed Of Jacob, "seek Ye My Face In Vain." If Christ Be Chosen For The Foundation Of Our Supply, He Will Not Fail Us.
