My chief desire in all my writings, is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and make Him beautiful and glorious in the eyes of men; and to promote the increase of repentance, faith, and holiness upon earth.

It will not profit us to read about Christ, if we are not joined to Him by living faith. Once more then let us test our religion be this question; “What think we of Christ?”

Faith like light, should always be simple and unbending; while love, like warmth, should beam forth on every side and bend to every necessity of our brethren.

A great faith is like an oak that spreads its roots deep and is not easily blown down, Colossians 2:7. A great faith is like the anchor or cable of a ship that holds it steady in the midst of storms. A Christian who is steeled with this heroic faith is settled in the mysteries of religion.
The Spirit of God has so firmly printed heavenly truths upon his heart that you may as well remove the sun out of the firmament as remove him from those holy principles he has imbibed. Behold here a pillar in the temple of God, Revelation 3:12.
– Thomas Watson –
from the book The Lords Supper, 1665

Praying without faith is like trying to cut with a blunt knife—much labor expended to little purpose.
