On Christian Joy, Worship, and Happiness

"And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment." Luke 7:37-38

On Christian Truth and Living

Christ Jesus fully embodies the truth and love aspect. Not just in his actions and what He taught but also in that He fully reveals to us the Father and that we are to be made like Him through the Spirit's work.
Essentially what I am saying Knowing who He really is that He  is the great proposition to be taught and understood and that also to be like Him is the end of life.

The freedom from God's condemnation and of the gracious Discipline of God

"I speak of believers only; they do not bear one lash of that deserved wrath, that is poured out for sin, not one lash or stroke; Christ trod it alone himself. Yea, but you will say unto me, Doth not God afflict his children and believers? All the world seeth and knoweth he doth; therefore, why speak you against this? Beloved, give me leave to ask you, Is there not a great deal of difference between God's afflicting believers, and punishing believers for sin?" Tobias Crisp

On the only way to have Peace with God

"Christ is a way to take away the effect of God's displeasure; Christ is the only way to take it away. 'Shall I give the fruit of my body,' saith the prophet Micah, 6.7, 'for the sin of my soul? thousands of rams, or ten thousand rivers of oil?' No, alas! this will not buy out the penance of one sin, when he hath sinned; it is all too mean a price: there must be a better to take away that wrath; that is, the heavy punishment of God from a believer. I say a better price than this; not a dearer price to us poor men, but yet a more dear and acceptable price unto God; a price, in its nature, infinite and invaluable; but, of this price, not a farthing goes out of our purse; there is the greatness. Christ is a way to take away all wrath, in respect of the heavy hand of God, which is the fruit of man's sin." - Tobias Crisp

Imputation and the effectual justification of the atonement

"Beloved, these two are contradictions, for a person to be reckoned a faulty person, and yet that person to be reckoned a just or an innocent person; if he be faulty, he is not innocent; if he be innocent, he is not faulty. Now it is the main stream of the whole gospel, that Christ justifies the ungodly. If he himself justifies him, there is no fault to be cast upon him; mark it well, as that wherein consists the life of your soul and the joy of your spirits. I say, it holds forth the Lord Christ as freely tendering receiving him; you have no sooner received him, but you are instantly justified by him, and, in this justification, you are discharged from all the faults that may be laid to your charge. There is not one sin you commit, after you received Christ, that God can charge upon your person." - Tobias Crisp, Christ Alone Exalted

On the End of the Christian Life by Tobias Crisp

"But you will say further to me (for, except a man be a mere Papist, I am sure he cannot deny but that the righteousness by which I stand righteous before GOD, is the righteousness Christ doth for me, and not that I do for myself, you will ask me, I say, Doth not this take off all manner of obedience and all manner of holiness?
I answer, and thus much I say, It takes them off from those ends which they aim at in their obedience: namely, The end for which Christ’s obedience served: as much as to say, Our standing righteousness, by what Christ hath done for us, concerns us in point of justification, consolation, and salvation. We have our justification, our peace, our salvation, only by the righteousness Christ hath done for us: but this doth not take away our obedience, nor our services, in respect of those ends for which such are now required of believers. We have yet several ends for duties and obedience, namely, That they may glorify God, and evidence our thankfulness, that they may be profitable to men, that they may be ordinances wherein to meet with God, to make good what he hath promised." Tobias Crisp (Found this one on a website)

Some might say that Tobias Crisp was Antinomian. I do not think so. But again I have not read his works as of yet. I recently bought his Christ Alone Exalted. So I am looking forward to that.

On Gospel, Justification, and Reconciliation by Robert Traill

"There can be no justification without a righteousness; no righteousness can suffice but that which answers fully and perfectly the holy law of God; no such righteousness can be performed but by a divine person; no benefit can accrue to a sinner by it unless it is in some way his and applied to him; no application can be made of this but by faith in Jesus Christ." - Robert Traill, Justification Vindicated

On Justification, and the Free Gift of God from Robert Traill

"Shall we tell men that unless they are holy they must not believe on Jesus Christ? That they must not venture on Christ for salvation till they are qualified and fit to be received and welcomed by him? This would be to forbear preaching the gospel at all, or to forbid all men to believe on Christ. For never was any sinner qualified for Christ. He is well qualified for us (1 Cor. 1:30); but a sinner out of Christ has no qualification for Christ but sin and misery. Whence should we have any better, but in and from Christ? Nay suppose an impossibility, that a man were qualified for Christ; I boldly assert, that a such a man would not, nor could ever, believe on Christ. For faith is a lost, helpless condemned sinner's casting himself on Christ for salvation; and the qualified man is not such a person." - Robert Traill

On Right, and salvation

God does not have to save anybody. Salvation is a prerogative right belonging to God alone to do as He pleases for His glory. Salvation is not a right that man has. If anything man is a creature of God responsible to Him alone as Creator who created all things and created man especially in His image. In as much as God created man for His glory alone that man would live to represent God and to honor God, man however rebelled in Adam and after the fall All men are lost and depraved. If anything man who sinned against an infinite, holy and just God deserves punishment and condemnation. If anyone is saved it is due to the free sovereign and gracious elective choice of God to save a particular people in Christ.
