1. It is better to keep Christ's character than one's cloak.
2. The world never draws towards Christians, and it cannot do so, for its own nature cannot allow it; but Christians may, to their own loss, draw near the world, because the old man is still in them.
3. You cannot be in the truth if you ramble from the person of the Son of Man.
4. The things which God will separate in judgment are already separated in His mind, and they are as much so now as when they will be seen, the one in the lake of fire, and the other in heaven.
5. Christian liberty is never liberty of will: the liberty of the Holy Ghost is absolute.
6. The seventh of Romans presents the legal form of the conflict: the Galatians the Christian form of the conflict. In the seventh of Romans there is nothing about the Spirit; but Galatians speaks of the flesh lusting against the Spirit, and the Spirit lusting against the flesh. In Romans it is about the law, and not about Christ nor the Spirit.
7. There may be great activity of service without its being the service of God in the Spirit.
8. "That we should be holy and without blame before him in love," is that we should be there according to God's nature and character. For He is holy, blameless in His ways, and He is love.
9. The difference between the Holy Ghost's reasoning and the saint's is seen in this, that the Holy Ghost reasons from what God is, to what we shall experience from Him; while the saint reasons from what he is, to what he may expect from God.
10. The question of justification is presented in Romans and Galatians; divine government in the wilderness in Peter; the communication of life in John.
