“No affliction, however severe, however long continued, however apparently disastrous, and even ruinous, but shall be made to contribute to his spiritual improvement and everlasting salvation.” (Page 247)

“The ‘all things’ refer plainly to the whole of the things the apostle is speaking of—‘the sufferings of the present time.’ Whatever befals the Christian contributes, directly or indirectly, to the promoting and the securing of his final happiness. Every thing will ultimately prove to be beneficial to him.” (Page 247)

“Legality is the great enemy to sanctification; and it is the realization, by faith, of the state of freedom from law and subjection to grace, which can alone sustain under, and give ultimately complete victory in, these painful struggles.” (Page 158)

“Their Justifier is the ultimate authority in the universe—the supreme and universal Judge: He whose law they had violated, whose displeasure they had excited, whose curse they had incurred—He has justified them.” (Page 260)

“All who obey the call, believe the Gospel; and it is by the faith of the Gospel that men are justified. The Divine method of justification is ‘by faith;’ it takes effect on ‘all them that believe.’” (Page 252)
