The True Labor Day Rest
Peace is the result of justification by faith. The person who relies on his works for justification can have no peace.
Charles Hodge (1797 – 1878) on Romans 5.1
We Live by Faith, Not by Sight
Any faith that must be supported by the evidence of the senses is not real faith.
No Imaginary Jesus
We cannot behold the glory of Christ by conjuring up pictures of him in the mind and by trying to form the shape of a person in heaven in our imaginations. The way to behold the glory of Christ is by the steady exercise of faith on the revelation of this glory of Christ given to us in Scripture. It is our duty, therefore, constantly to meditate on the glory of Christ. This will fill us with joy which will, in turn, move us to meditate on his glory more and more.
John Owen, (ed. by R. J. K Law), The Glory of Christ (Edinburgh: Banner of Truth Trust, 1994), 67.
He Will Hold Me Fast
Your faith will not fail while God sustains it; you are not strong enough to fall away while God is resolved to hold you.

Pray, Believing
Learn that urgency in prayer does not so much consist in vehement pleading as in vehement believing.
Robert Murray McCheyne (1813-1843)

Dare to Believe in God’s Grace
Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man would stake his life on it a thousand times.
Evidences of Faith and Repentance
He that can believe without doubting, suspect his faith; and he that can repent without sorrowing, suspect his repentance.

Doubt Is Not Always Unbelief
Doubt is not always a sign that a man is wrong; it may be a sign that he is thinking.
