Sida 178 - The natural Man,' saith the Apostle, ' receiveth not the Things of the Spirit of God, 'they are Foolishness unto him. He cannot know them, ' because they are spiritually discerned '; that is, they can only be discerned by that Spirit, which he has not.
Sida 183 - Oh that I had the wings of a dove, that I might flee away and be at rest;" for I felt that there could be no rest for me in the midst of such outrages and pollutions.
Sida 60 - But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise ; Say not in thine heart, who shall ascend into heaven ? that is, to bring down Christ from above ; or, who shall descend into the deep ? that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.
Sida 84 - Thus does this desire do all: it brings the soul to God, and God into the soul; it unites with God, it co-operates with God, and is one life with God. Suppose this desire not to be alive, not in motion either in a Jew or a Christian, and then all the sacrifices, the service, the worship, either of the Law or the Gospel, are but dead works that bring no life into the soul, nor beget any union between God and it. Suppose this desire to be awakened, and fixed upon God, though in souls that never heard...
Sida 208 - This we are assured of from these words of truth itself; blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. But this blessedness could not belong to hungering, if the truly hungry and thirsty could ever be sent empty away. Every spirit necessarily reaps that which it soweth, it cannot possibly be otherwise, it is the unalterable procedure of nature.
Sida 126 - I say unto you, except ye eat the flesh, and drink the blood of the Son of Man, ye have no life in you...
Sida 64 - Christ, are not merely remembered, but inwardly found and enjoyed as the real states of thy soul, which has followed Christ in the regeneration. When once thou art well grounded in this inward worship, thou wilt have learnt to live unto God above time and place ; for every day will be Sunday to thee, and wherever thou goest, thou wilt have a priest, a church, and an altar along with thee.
Sida 31 - See here the deep ground and absolute necessity of that new birth of the word, son, and spirit of God which the scripture speaks so much of. It is because our soul, as fallen, is quite dead to, and separate from the kingdom of heaven, by having lost the light and spirit of God in itself; and therefore is, and must be incapable of entering into heaven, till by this new birth, the soul gets again its first heavenly nature.
Sida 188 - Goods, is at Grass with Nebuchadnezzar, and has one Life with the Beasts of the Field : For earthly Desires keep up the same Life in a Man and an Ox. For the one only Reason, why the Animals of this World have no Sense or Knowledge of God, is this ; it is because they cannot form any other than earthly Desires, and so can only have an earthly Life. When therefore a Man wholly turns his working Will to...
