Not to His Decrees
It is our duty to look to God’s commands, and not to His decrees; to our own duty & not to His purposes. The decrees of God are a vast ocean, into which many have curiously pried to their own horror and despair...

Beloved by God
Saving faith is a persuasion that we shall have life and salvation by Christ, or a receiving and resting on Him for salvation, included in it a knowledge of ourselves being beloved by God; the former cannot be without the latter.

Union with Christ is Only Way.
God's device for the sanctification of an unholy world is that sinners unite with Christ and derive holiness from him, whom the Father has constituted the head of sanctifying influences.
Union with Christ is the only way to sanctification. Thomas BostonTuesday, December 13, 2022

APPLAUSE IS WORTH NOTHING.
(Do not seek to impress others or your self with your: Chess rating, Bench Press, Cycling Distance. Though exercise for the sake of energy for the sake of serving Christ and telling of His glory and grace -- is a proper motivation to exercise.)

Thomas Boston Good Quote
Thomas Boston, Works, 2:73:
The law is perfect, and requires a full conformity thereto. It requires the utmost perfection in every duty, and forbids the least degree of every sin. So that life and salvation are absolutely unattainable by it, since no man can perform such an obedience to it as it requires. Our salvation is suspended in obedience to the law; which since we cannot perform, let us be induced to betake ourselves to the obedience and satisfaction of Christ, by which the law is magnified and made honourable, and with which God is well pleased; and will be pleased with every sinner that takes the benefit thereof.

REVERENCE HIS HAND
"Affliction does not rise out of the dust or come to men by chance; but it is the Lord that sends it, and we should own and reverence His hand in it." - Thomas Boston

NEW NEW NEW
2 Cor 5:17) "[The regenerated person] gets not only a new head, to know and understand true religion; or a new tongue, to talk of it; but a new heart, to love and embrace it, in the whole of his/her life."

ALL THINGS
"Has God decreed all things that come to pass? Then there is nothing that falls out by chance, nor are we to ascribe what we meet with either to good or ill luck and fortune. There are many events in the world which men look upon as mere accidents, yet all these come by the counsel and appointment of Heaven."

EYE UPWARD AND INWARD
"He who would walk aright must have one eye upward to Jesus Christ, and another inward to the corruption of his own nature. It is not enough that we look about us, we must also look within us."

Enemy
The natural man is an ememy to Christ: 1) An enemy to Christ's Prophetic Office- (Despise His Word) 2) An enemy to Christ's Priestly Office- (Despise His Sacrifice) 3) An enemy to Christ's Kingly Office- (Despise His Rule).
