Truth Is The Agreement Of Our Ideas

True Virtue Never Appears So Lovely As When It Is Most Oppressed; And The Divine Excellency Of Real Christianity Is Never Exhibited With Such Advantage As When Under The Greatest Trials; Then It Is That True Faith Appears Much More Precious Than Gold, And Upon This Account Is "found To Praise And Honour And Glory.

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

Who Will Deny That True Religion Consists, In A Great Measure, In Vigorous And Lively Actings Of The Inclination And Will Of The Soul, Or The Fervent Exercises Of The Heart? That Religion Which God Requires, And Will Accept, Does Not Consist In Weak, Dull, And Lifeless, Wishes, Raising Us But A Little Above A State Of Indifference.

We Must View Humility As One Of The Most Essential Things That Characterizes True Christianity.

Religion, In Its Purity, Is Not So Much A Pursuit As A Temper; Or Rather It Is A Temper, Leading To The Pursuit Of All That Is High And Holy. Its Foundation Is Faith; Its Action, Works; Its Temper, Holiness; Its Aim, Obedience To God In Improvement Of Self, And Benevolence To Men.
