If we had received our just deserving from God, there is not one among us who would not have been in the very depths of Hell, long, long ago!
Believer! Not so much as a hair can fall from your head but by the divine appointment of your all-loving heavenly Father!
The evil of sin far exceeds all that language can express, or that any finite intelligence can conceive!
In everything we must endeavor to act as in God's immediate presence!
Even though evil is a sweet morsel in your mouth for a season it will at last bite like a serpent, and sting like an adder!
The ungodly often die as insensible of eternal realities as the beasts!
The Word of God is the only standard of right and wrong; and by that we shall be judged in the last day.
Every advance towards Christian maturity, will always be manifested by a proportionate growth in humility.
No mother is so tender towards her newborn child, as God is towards his penitent and believing people.
Can we survey the wonders of redeeming love, and not have our whole souls penetrated with an overwhelming sense of gratitude?
We should always contemplate God's sovereign and saving mercies with overwhelming gratitude and whole-hearted devotion! God is pleased oftentimes to afflict his people, in order to wean them from the love of this present world, and to quicken their souls to a greater delight in him.
Godly principles in the heart always manifest themselves by actions in the life. Real piety is operative and influential on the whole life.
The true Christian knows, that if he were judged by the best act he ever performed, he must forever perish!
All that the blood of Christ could purchase, and all that the love of God can bestow is the portion reserved for every believer in the realms of bliss!
