Faith, Temptation, and the Strait Gate

Reliance is the essence of faith, Christ is the object, the word is the food, and obedience is the proof; so that true faith is a depending upon Christ for salvation in a way of obedience as he is offered in the word.
God will either keep his saints from temptations by his preventing mercy, or in temptations by his supporting mercy, and find a way of escape by his delivering mercy.
The gate which leads to life is a strait gate, therefore we should fear; it is an open gate, therefore we should hope.
