Every Christian who seeks to advance in holiness should remember this: there may be intense consecration and fervent zeal, and if the Lord himself does not step in, there may be unconscious self-exalation. Let us learn the lesson that the greatest holiness comes in the deepest humility.

A believer may pass through much affliction, and yet secure very little blessing from it all. Abiding in Christ is the secret of securing all that the Father meant the chastisement to bring us.

As health expels disease, light swallows up darkness, and life conquers death, the indwelling Christ through the Spirit is the health, light, and life of the soul.

(chapter: “Humility and Sin”)
Absolute, unceasing humility must be the core disposition of every prayer and approach to God as well as every relationship with our fellowmen.

Jesus the Holy One is the humble One: the holiest will always be the humblest. There is none holy but God: we have as much holiness as we have God. And according to what we have of God will be our real humility, because humility is nothing but the disappearance of self in the vision that God is all. The holiest will be the humblest.

Your Christian life is to be a continuous proof that God works impossibilities.

Agape love is a fire that will burn through every difficulty.

Never read God’s will concerning you without honestly giving up yourself to do it at once, and asking grace to do so. God has given us His Word, to tell us what He wants us to do and what grace He has provided to enable us to do it: how sad to think it a pious thing just to read that Word without any earnest effort to obey it! May God keep us from this terrible sin! Let us make it a sacred habit to say to God, ‘Lord, whatever I know to be Thy will, I will at once obey.‘ Ever read with a heart yielded up in willing obedience.
