“What is faith? It is a holy resting upon the word and promise of God as true and faithful, so that the natural consequence is peace of conscience and spiritual joy; it is a taking of God at His word.” (Page 86)

“Praise is the manifestation of our inward reverence and esteem: it adores and magnifies; but in blessing God we think well of Him, and wish well to Him, and desire that others may do the same.” (Page 4)

“Faith is also a grace which, ‘above all,’ greatly honours God. It is that which leads the soul to forsake every other reliance, and rest solely upon the Divine arm as its helper.” (Page 663)

“What would grieve you more, than to have your child suspect your truthfulness” (Page 451)

“love, brotherly love, love to all the saints. It has its fountain in the love of God as the Father of the whole redeemed family. His love to us produces corresponding love to Him, and in loving the common Father, we necessarily love one another. The bonds, indeed, which bind the saints together are very many and very strong. They are members of the same family, redeemed with the same precious blood, and filled with the same quickening Spirit. They have the same friends and the same enemies, the same hopes and fears, the same promises of good things to come, and the same living Head in heaven. How full, and deep, and strong should be their love to one another! The words of our text are instructive—‘Love to all the saints!’” (Page 86)
