Zeal
Oh, how I wished that I had a tongue like thunder, that I might make all hear; or that I had a frame like iron, that I might visit everyone, and say, “Escape for thy life!”
— Robert Murray M’Cheyne
Prayer

Spiritual Warfare
A Christian’s peace is peculiar; it flows from Christ, it is heavenly, it is holy peace. His warfare is as peculiar: it is deep-seated, agonizing, and ceases not till death.
— Robert Murray M’Cheyne
Justification
There is something inexpressibly pleasing to a justified mind to know that God has all the honor in our salvation, and we have none; to know that God’s honor is not violated, but on the contrary, shines more illustrious; to know that God’s law is not injured, but magnified and made honorable, to know that we are safe, and God has all the glory.
— Robert Murray M’Cheyne
