“Happy were it, if puzzled & perplexed Christians would turn their eyes from the defects that are in their obedience, to the fullness and completeness of Christ’s obedience; and see themselves complete in Him, when most lame and defective in themselves.”
—John Flavel, Works 1.59
“In our struggles with sin, we should trust that God will completely save our wills. We can hope in the ultimate freedom that Christ will give his people when he returns in glory (Isa. 55:12-13).”
— Beeke and Smalley, Essentials of Reformed Systematic Theology, 313.
“If they blend the law with the gospel or, which is the same thing, works with faith, especially in the affair of justification, they will thereby obscure the glory of redeeming grace and prevent themselves from attaining joy and peace in believing.”
— John Colquhoun
“The law and the gospel have their appropriate places in preaching and are not to be mixed or confused.”
–– Christopher J. Gordon (@agradio1), “Pastoring God’s People,” in Remembering the Reformed Confession: Essays on Theology, Piety, and Practice, ed. Harrison Perkins (Escondido, CA: Heidelberg Reformation Association, 2026), 56.

"The promise, 'I will be their God, and they shall be my people,' contains more than has ever entered into the heart of man to conceive. It includes the grand design of God in the creation and redemption of man."
-Charles Hodge

"I testify, in the Lord's name, that gospel-holiness will never flourish among us, or in the generation, till we be more free of a legal spirit; and that we will not live unto God unless we be dead to the law."
- Ralph Erskine

"Alas! Alas for Churches that have given up Prayer Meetings! You shall judge of the Presence of God by the Prayer Meeting as accurately as you shall judge the temperature of the air by the thermometer."
—Charles Spurgeon
“It's significant that the Holy Spirit chose to use in Scripture the metaphors of shepherd or pastor and sheep to describe the church and pastoral ministry.” @RScottClark @heidelcast

"Both law and gospel must be preached to the congregation weekly. Law ("do") guides the believers into proper thinking and behavior, and gospel ("done") gives the animating power to obey the law."

The Reformation was not merely a Great Awakening; it was the Greatest Awakening to the true Gospel since the Apostolic Age.
—RC Sproul
“God’s attributes are His essence, and His essence is His attributes.”
— Joey Tomlinson, Those Things Most Surely Believed, 27.
“Till men get a sight of God in Christ, they cannot tell what the grace of God is.”
— Puritan Robert Traill

“Reformation Day is a fine thing, but we should remember what the Reformation was: the assertion and defense of the truth that justification of sinners is by unmerited divine favor alone; that in the act of justification, faith justifies by receiving and resting and trusting in Christ alone; and that Scripture is the magisterial and unique authority for faith and the Christian life. These things are worth celebrating at any time.” –@RScottClark

— Joey Tomlinson, Those Things Most Surely Believed, 26.
“Grave elders rule with righteousness not rashness, are warm without weakness, personal without being pedantic, and speak truth even if painful.” @JohnStSomething

THE @PatAbendroth of @thepactum does a great job here of showing why Christ's ascension provides such great assurance and ongoing help. This is an excellent starting place on a doctrine that is often overlooked
