"The worth and excellency of a soul is to be measured by
the object of its love: he who loveth mean and sordid things
doth thereby become base and vile; but a noble
and well placed affection doth advance and improve the spirit
into a conformity with the perfections which it loves."
-Henry Scougal

"Christ was lowly; be humble and mean in your own esteem. Christ was meek; be you gentle, easy to be entreated, and not easily provoked. Christ loved God; let God be the object of your love. Christ hated sin; let sin also be the object of your hatred. Christ contemned the world; get your affections crucified unto it. Christ was compassionate to those that were in distress; labor for the like bowels yourself. Christ used to worship publicly in the synagogues, to pray with His disciples, and to spend time also in secret prayer—give yourself to attendance in the public assemblies of God’s people, worship God in your families, and be often upon your knees at the throne of grace in secret. Christ’s mind was a heavenly mind—let the same mind be in you as was in Christ. Christ’s will was submissive to His Father’s will—let the same will be in you as was in Christ. Christ’s words were gracious and edifying—let your speech be always with grace, savory, and which may be for edification. Christ’s life was an active life, He was always doing good, and He was exactly holy in all His actions—be you active and diligent in the service of God by doing good to others, and be holy as Christ was holy in all manner of conversation.”
-Thomas Vincent

“Men will trust in God no further than they know Him.”
-Jonathan Edwards

“Holy Scripture has a mighty convincing power. When men soak in it, it soon penetrates into their souls ... Does anyone suppose that he knows all about the gospel and does not need further hours of study, thought, and prayer? Poor miserable fool! Angels, who are vastly superior to us in intelligence, desire to learn and know more. As the angels are deep students of the things of God, let us try to be the same.”
-C.H. Spurgeon

"A man growing in grace is this—that his sense of sin is becoming deeper, his faith stronger, his hope brighter, his love more extensive, his spiritual-mindedness more marked. ”
-JC Ryle

“Spiritual maturity is not reached by the passing of the years, but by obedience to the will of God. Some people mature into an understanding of God’s will more quickly than others because they obey more readily; they more readily sacrifice the life of nature to the will of God."
-Oswald Chambers

“Growth in grace is growth downward. It is the forming of a lower estimate of ourselves. It is a deepening realization of our nothingness. It is a heartfelt recognition that we are not worthy of the least of God’s mercies.”
-A.W. Pink

"Do you want your faith to grow? Then let the Bible begin to saturate your mind and soul."
-Billy Graham
