“Not I, but Christ which liveth in me, and the life that I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.’ ‘I have not only spiritual life, everlasting life, the life of the heaven born soul, but I have divine life, I have the Christ life, I have God Himself to live within me.’” (Page 5)
“But the resources of grace are equal to all these tests and the love of Christ is able to triumph over people as well as over Satan and sin.” (Page 77)
“But its fulfilment is dependent at every step upon our response and our faithfulness. There is a peace that passeth all understanding, but the condition must be met, ‘Be careful for nothing.’ There is a ‘rest’ unto our souls that we may find, but again the condition is, ‘Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me.’ There is a ‘great peace’ that ‘nothing can offend,’ but it is given to them that love His law. We may be kept in ‘perfect peace,’ but our mind must be stayed on Him.” (Page 17)
“The great peril of men and women is that they do not realize the sacredness and solemnity of life. They treat it as a pleasant holiday rather than a great probation and a supreme opportunity. Oh, that God would impress upon every reader of these lines the solemnity of having only one life to live and that life fraught with all the possibilities of endless joy or misery.” (Page 12)
“Dear friend, are you trying the hopeless experiment of living an ideal Christian life on mere ethical principles? Are you attempting to translate the Sermon on the Mount into your experience by mere force of will and habit? Are you endeavoring to live up to the example of the Lord Jesus Christ by simply putting your feet in His footprints and trying to copy His example?” (Pages 23–24)
