We have to get rid of the bad; and what is strange, the more good we get, the more bad we have to get rid of.

As long as the Lord Jesus was here, He was a solitary Man upon earth; but now He, being raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, forms a new class of men of the same order as Himself; and every believer is of this same class.

The problem for the believer is to live Christ in His body on earth. Nothing explains truth like practice.

When I hear a person say, I do not see the harm of it, I answer, It is just because you have not learned enough good. And that is why a worldly saint will go through the world the easiest, and also do himself the least harm by going through it. It is only the worldly man who can say, I do not find it does me any harm.

The man who knows most of Christ, is always the one who is the most apprehensive of Satan.

The body is the place in which all the evil has been done; but now the Lord says, I have redeemed it; it must now be My place-My garden ; it has been growing all the weeds that Satan could plant in it, but now it must grow flowers for Me.

I do not believe there is any moment of more ecstatic delight to the soul than the one in which it finds that God's place for it is its own. It is a moment of unspeakable delight; it has reached the climax of every thing, and it knows that it is there. It is a wonderful moment; but, I say, woe betide the person who is satisfied with stopping at it! What the Lord warns them about, on their getting into the land, is their state in it.
