When we oppose sin out of love to God, and because it strikes at his holiness.
The power that love stirreth up is a greater power than what wrath stirreth up in God.
God loves us through Christ; he hears our prayers through Christ; he forgives us all our sins through Christ. Through Christ he justifies us; through Christ he sanctifies us; through Christ he upholds us; through Christ he perfects us.
Young people, by walking in the ways of Christ and Christian virtue, obtain pleasure of the most excellent kind.
They that spend their youth in the exercise of Christian virtue, they may think of old age with comfort, if they should live to it: and they may think of death with comfort, and may think of eternity with unspeakable joy.
