“This security realised by those who are in Christ is an answer to the prayer of the blessed Lord, in John 17:11: ‘Holy Father, keep through Thy own name those whom Thou hast given Me.’ The fidelity of God is pledged to keep them. He is not only able but faithful to preserve them to the end. None are safe, but such as are in Christ. They are kept and preserved in Him.” (Page 14)
“There are a large class of men who neither deny the existence of God, nor refuse to worship Him. They claim to be religious, they put themselves down as a part of the religious world, but who, like Cain, refuse to confess that they are sinners. They will not allow that they need the blood of atonement as the ground of their confidence. In their pride and self-sufficiency, they ignore the truth that without the shedding of blood there is no remission, no approach to God, no acceptable worship.” (Pages 27–28)
“They call themselves priests, in contrast with the people, distinguished by titles and dress from others. They profess to act on behalf of others, assuming priestly functions which only belong to Christ Himself.” (Page 35)
