And therefore you must know that you can forfeit the grace and help of God by your willful sinning or negligence, though you cannot, without grace, turn to God. If you will not do what you can, it is just with God to deny you that grace by which you might do more.

Richard Baxter

The very design of the gospel doth tend to self-abasing; and the work of grace is begun and carried on in humiliation. Humility is not a mere ornament of a Christian, but an essential part of the new creature: it is a contradiction to be a sanctified man, or a true Christian, and not humble.

Richard Baxter

I take the love of God and self-denial to be the sum of all saving grace and religion.

Richard Baxter

As holy zeal is the fervency of our grace, so sinful zeal is the intention and fervency of sin.
