Top Highlights

“But, blessed be God, there are some against whom no crimes, no sins, no offences can be found, not even by the omniscient eye of God himself! ‘In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve’ (Jeremiah 50:20).” (Volume 1, Page 292)

“All who are ordained to eternal life, all who were given to Christ and are chosen in him, all for whom he died and obtained eternal redemption, all the children of God by special adoption and grace, sooner or later, shall be taught of God. Read on. ‘Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me’. God’s teaching is always effectual. Our Lord did not say, ‘Every man that hath heard and learned of the preacher comes unto me.’ He said, ‘Every man that hath heard and learned of the Father cometh unto me.’” (Volume 1, Page 362)

“Has the Saviour made you whole? If he has, cease from sin and live unto God by him. ‘I beseech you therefore, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God’ (Romans 12:1, 2).” (Volume 1, Page 279)

“Fallen man has neither the power nor the will to come to Christ. Man is dead in trespasses and in sins. He has no power to give himself life. He is spiritually impotent. Blind, he sees no need to come to Christ. Walking in darkness, he cannot know the way. Unregenerate, his heart is set on other things.” (Volume 1, Page 360)
