“Here lies the grace, the love, the peace, the glory; all blessedness in this covenant, and it is sure to all the seed, and God has made it to the end that it might be sure, that those who come thereunto might have strong consolation (Heb. 6:17, 18). This is a covenant in which it is impossible for God to lie: He has covenanted and sworn to it, that we might have strong consolation. Oh, therefore, my beloved friends, I mean you that are interested in this sure, everlasting covenant, let it be your work to be much in the meditation and consideration of the grace, the love, the glory of this covenant. All true believers may truly say with the apostle, so then, brethren, we are not children of the bond-woman, but of the free (Gal. 4:31). Not of the covenant from Mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, but of the covenant from Mount Zion, which is the mother of us all (Gal. 4:24, 26).”

“Those who have come to Jesus have seen a need of Him, and a worth in Him above all the world. They have left all for Him and do account their own righteousness as a filthy cloth, as dung and dross, all their own wisdom to be foolishness, and their own strength to be but weakness. They loath themselves in their own eyes, in the sight and sense of their own vileness, and they are made willing to have all in Christ, and to follow Him (apart from all their vanities and beloved lusts) through all difficulties they encounter. Oh! how few are those that are thus come to Jesus Christ. It is true the world is come to Him in their own fancies and imaginations, but it is but a cheat and delusion. They are ignorant of Him and strangers to Him, and enemies in their minds by wicked works; and indeed the truth is not known to them. They will steal, murder, and commit adultery, etc. and yet come and stand before God as if they were His. They rebel against Him and trample His blood and ordinances under their feet, and yet pretend themselves to be Christians. This is the common state and condition of most of the world.”

“If believers are not in the New Covenant, they are in no covenant, for there are but two: old and new, first and second. Now that the New Covenant is in being is evident, for the apostle makes the application of it to the gospel time (Heb. 8) and proves it to be in force, Because the testator is dead, a covenant or testament is in force when the testator is dead (Heb. 9:16, 17). And in my text, He takes away the first that He may establish the second; and - indeed - to deny this covenant to be in force is to deny the blood of the covenant and death of the testator.”
