Severity to sin is mercy to the soul.
Grace is not of an equal extent to nature: grace is not native, but donative; not by generation, but by regeneration. It is from the Father of spirits, not fathers of our flesh. Who can bring a clean thing out of filthiness? The new birth is "not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man" (John 1:13).
How good is God to deny us mercies in mercy.
I must tell you that I never yet knew the man that had but one error. If the devil can but draw you into one, he'll quickly lead you into more, as in logic grant but one absurdity, and a hundred will follow. He that saith yea to the devil in a little shall not say nay when he pleases. He that tumbles down the hill of error will never leave tumbling till he come to the bottom.
Error needs a great deal of defending to keep it from sinking into oblivion, a great deal of equivocation to hide its certain and natural consequences from being detected by honest inquiry, and a great deal of learning and rhetoric to plead its cause. But in order to embrace truth, we need only light to see it by and a heart to love it. Primitive Divinity
Error is a spiritual bastard. The devil is the father, and pride the mother. You never knew an erroneous man, but he was a proud man. Now it is good that such men should be laid open to the intent, first, that God's righteous judgments upon them may be adored (2 Thess. 2:12). Secondly, that others who are free be not infected. Primitive Divinity
It teaches us humility. As we were from Adam, so he was from the dust of the earth, and that dust from nothing. Our father was Adam, our grandfather dust, our great-grandfather nothing.Exposition Epistle of Jude, 299
A smooth, if a false way should not delight us; nor should a rugged, if a right way, dishearten us.
Gluttony is the sepulchre of the living, and a kind of spiritual drowning of a man.
The more you practice what you know, the more shall you know what to practice.
