"Is it then the believer's desire that he may make swift progress in the habit and exercise of that living faith by which he gives glory to God and receives grace and glory from Him? Let him, in humble reliance on the promise and on the Spirit of faith, read, hear, and meditate frequently on the glorious gospel."

Ch. 5 on The Gospel of Christ is a must-read, even if you don't read the rest of the book.

"There is no possible way in which a sinner can be freed from the perpetual obligation of the law as a covenant but by presenting, in the hand of faith to it, the infinitely perfect and meritorious righteousness of the second Adam as a full answer to its high demands." He "passes from the obligation of the covenant of works & comes under the perpetual obligation of the law as a rule of duty in the covenant of grace"

"The law as a covenant of works, does in the most authoritative manner, demand from every descendant of Adam who is under it perfect holiness of nature, perfect righteousness of life, and complete satisfaction for sin. And none of the race of fallen Adam can ever enter heaven unless he either answers these three demands perfectly in his own person or accepts by faith the consummate righteousness of the second Adam."
