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.
Fire is quenched by pouring on water or withdrawing fuel; so the Spirit is quenched by living in sin, which is like pouring on water; or not improving our gifts and grace, which is like withdrawing the fuel. —Thomas Manton Works, 9:491.
Who of created intelligences would have thought of any such thing as the eternal and infinitely beloved Son of God being substituted in the room of sinners?
