A Christian life is an unending engagement on the battlefield.
The attitude of saints toward their possessions most assuredly signifies whether they continue to preserve their self life or whether they have consigned it to death.
To secure one’s freedom the Christian must experience God’s light which is God’s truth.
The right attitude is this: that I have my own will, yet I will the will of God.
Victory is the normal experience of a Christian; defeat should be the abnormal experience.
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith.
Do not be impatient for impatience is of the flesh. Do not try different methods because they are useful solely in helping the flesh. We must distrust the flesh entirely.
One gains by losing self for others and not by hoarding for oneself.
The Christian life from start to finish is based upon this principle of utter dependence upon the Lord Jesus.
For God to reveal His Son in us is not the result of research or searching; it is entirely a matter of mercy and revelation. It is an inward seeing, an inner knowing.
The burden imparted by God is lifted once we have prayed, but the heaviness from the enemy cannot be raised unless we fight and resist in prayer.
By the time the average Christian gets his temperature up to normal, everybody thinks he has a fever!
All we have-ourselves-to Him, and if that be all, that is enough.
Our old history ends with the Cross; our new history begins with the resurrection.
Baptism is faith in action.
It is a fact that the Lord Jesus has already died for you. It is also a fact that you have already died with the Lord Jesus. If you do not believe in your death with Christ, you will not be able to receive the effectiveness of death with Him – freedom from sin.
The child of God should not be overanxious to make new gains; what he essentially requires is to keep what he already has, for not losing is itself a gain. The way to retain what he possesses is to engage it.
Since this life is God’s and cannot die, it follows that everyone born anew into possessing this life is said to have eternal life.
Whatever the mind sets itself on is what the man walks after.
Genuine spiritual knowledge lies not in wonderful and mysterious thoughts but in actual spiritual experience through union of the believer’s life with truth.
