A man who loves you the most is the man who tells you the most truth about yourself.
Most of God’s people are contented to be saved from the hell that is without; they are not so anxious to be saved from the hell that is within.
If Christ justifies you, He will sanctify you! He will not save you and leave you in your sins.
Remember, you are not a tree, that can live or stand alone. You are only a branch. And it is only while you abide in Christ, as the branch in the vine, that you will flourish or even live.
A man cannot be a faithful minister, until he preaches Christ for Christs sake – until he gives up striving to attract people to himself and seeks only to attract them to Christ.
Affliction shows the power of Christ’s blood, when it gives peace in an hour of trouble, when it can make happy in sickness, poverty, persecution and death. Do not be surprised if you suffer, but glorify God.
