Let us think that the Lord himself, who is the very living and eternal God, speaks to us by the scriptures. Let us forevermore praise the name and goodness of him, who has so faithfully, fully, and plainly granted to open to us miserable mortal men, all the means of how to live well and holy.
Heinrich Bullinger

Tell me not of your justification, unless you have also some marks of sanctification.
J.C. Ryle
Holiness, Ch3
How many a young man, never called of God, has been pressed into the ministry by well-meaning friends who had more zeal than knowledge. None may rightly count upon the divine blessing in the service of Christ unless he has been expressly set apart thereto by the Holy Spirit (Ac 13:2)
A.W. Pink
Gleanings from Elisha (18)Quotes on Pride
The proclamation of new discoveries is not always a proof of devotion to the truth, it is sometimes a tribute to self-esteem.Sacred Theology, 577
4 Types of Pride: first is when someone attributes to himself the good which he has; the second, when he believes that the good is given by God, and yet for his own merits; the third, when he boasts that he has what he does not have; the fourth, when he has contempt for all others and wishes to seem unique.Moralia, bk 2, c6, n13
Oh, suffer me not to be wise in mine own eyes, and thereby to turn away mine ears from the words of them that are indued with spiritual wisdom; but cause me to hear counsel, and receive instruction, that I may be wise for my latter end.
God will have nothing to do with proud persons, he will never dwell with them, he will never keep house with them.
He that dwells in the highest heavens, will never dwell in a haughty heart.

Quotes on Sanctification
Tell me not of your justification, unless you have also some marks of sanctification.Holiness, Ch3
The election which is not "unto sanctification" is not of God, but of the devil. The hope that does not make a man holy is no hope at all.
A regeneration that a man can have, and yet live carelessly in sin or worldliness, is a regeneration invented by uninspired theologians, but never mentioned in scripture. Holiness (Chapter 2)
What wise man will despise or deny a mine to be gold, because it hath some dross or bad earth with it? or will throw away a beast, and say it is not good meat, because it hath guts and garbage in it? The vermin of sin may sometimes crawl in a cleanly, holy person, though they be not allowed there. One act will not prove a habit, nor a few bad actions a bad person.

It cannot be denied that in the execution of his duties the ancient "pedagogue" might also impart some elementary and useful instruction on various matters, but that was not his primary function. In the figure here used the "pedagogue" is the man—generally a slave—in whose custody the slave-owner's boys were placed, in order that this trusted servant might conduct them to and from school, and might, in fact, watch over their conduct throughout the day. He was, accordingly, an escort or attendant, and also at the same time a disciplinarian. The discipline which he exercised was often of a severe character, so that those placed under his guardianship would yearn for the day of freedom. And, as has been shown (see the explanation of verses 19, 22, and 23), that was exactly the function which the law had performed. It had been of a preparatory and disciplinary nature, readying the hearts of those under its tutelage for the eager acceptance of the gospel of justificationCommentary
Roman Catholicism is the devil's greatest masterpiece! It is such a departure from the Christian faith and the New Testament teaching, that I would not hesitate with the Reformers of the sixteenth century to describe it as "apostasy. "
We are now by the Spirit at liberty to delight in the law, to make the law our counsellor, to make the Word of God our counsellor. That which terrified and frightened us before is now our direction. A severe schoolmaster to a very young pupil becomes later, as the pupil grows, a wise tutor to guide and direct. So, the law that terrifies and whips us when we are in bondage, till we are in Christ -it scares us to Christ -that law afterward comes to be a tutor, to tell us what we shall do, to counsel us and say this is the best way. And we come to delight in those truths when they are revealed to us inwardly. And the more we know, the more we want to know, because we want to please God better every day.Glorious Freedom, 41
We preach obedience to the law, but not as the Papists do. They preach obedience as a means to justification; we preach justification as a means to obedience.The True Bounds of Christian Freedom, 69
here is the difference; the one saith, 'Do this and live'; and the other saith, 'Live, and do this'; the one saith, do this for life; the other saith, Do this from lifeThe Marrow of Modern Divinity
Those, therefore, whom He has destined to the inheritance of His kingdom, if He does not immediately regenerate, He, through the works of the law, preserves in fear, against the time of His visitation, not, indeed, that pure and chaste fear which His children ought to have, but a fear useful to the extent of instructing them in true piety according to their capacity.Institutes, 2.7.11
Comparison is the thief of joy.
l would define FREEWILL as this: every human being has the freedom to choose whatever sin he wants. That's free will.
And there may be also many others of good and pious inclinations, that have never yet applied themselves to consider the principal and most fundamental grounds of religion, so as to be able to give, or discern, any tolerable reason of them.Works, Vol 1
this is an unaccountable vanity under the sun, that men too generally form such projects, that they are disappointed both when they do not compass them, and when they do. If they do not, they have lost their labour; if they do, they are not worth it.Works, Vol 1

Redeemed from loving God! What a monstrous thought! Redeemed from what is the great active and fruitive principle; the source of obedience and blessedness; the eternal spring, even in the heavenly state, of adoration and fruition!Works, Vol 1
Were we to have been set free from the preceptive obligation of God's holy law, then most of all from that most fundamental precept, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thine heart, soul, might, and mind had this been redemption, which supposes only what is evil and hurtful, as that we are to be redeemed from? This were a strange sort of self-repugnant redemption, not from sin and misery, but from our duty and felicity.Works, Vol 1
When therefore he was to do for us the part of a Redeemer, he was to redeem us from the curse of the law, not from the command of it; to save us from the wrath of God, not from his government, Gal. S. 13, 14. Rom. 8. 3, 4.Works, Vol 1
His power as to every one's death cannot be avoided, or withstood. The act of this key is definitive, and ends the business.Works, Vol 1
Our life on earth is under the constant strict observation of our Lord Christ. He waits when to turn the key, and shut it up. Through the whole of that time, which, by deferring, he measures out to us, we are under his eye as in a state of probation.Works, Vol 1
