“It is not merely that we “glory in the cross” (Gal 6:14), but we draw strength from it.”
― Horatius Bonar, God's Way of Holiness

“The first true touch of that Cross has secured for me the eternal blessing. I am in the hands of Christ, and none shall pluck me out (Joh 10:28).”

“Our desires are to mature, so that our souls, brought to life by the Spirit, move us to pursue real treasure and eternal glory with passion.”
― Peter Leithart, The Ten Commandments: A Guide to the Perfect Law of Liberty

“Love is not a rule, but a motive. Love does not tell me what to do; it tells me how to do it. Love constrains me to do the will of the Beloved One; but to know what the will is, I must go elsewhere. The Law of our God is the will of the Beloved One, and were that expression of His will withdrawn, love would be utterly in the dark; it would not know what to do. It might say, I love my Master, and I love His service, and I want to do His bidding, but I must know the rules of His house, that I may know how to serve Him.”
― Horatius Bonar, God's Way of Holiness
