Christ is the most cheap physician, he takes no fee. He desires us to bring nothing to him but broken hearts; and when he has cured us he desires us to bestow nothing on him but our love.
— Thomas Watson
Obedience
God commands nothing but what is beneficial. “O Israel, what doth the Lord require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, and to keep His statutes, which I command thee this day, for thy good?” To obey God is not so much our duty as our privilege.
— Thomas Watson
Ministers
A minister of Christ is both a granary, to hold the corn, and a steward, to give it out; he, then, is an unfaithful servant who does not deal out bountifully the bread of life.
— Thomas Watson
Godliness
Godliness is useful for all things: it fences off all troubles; it supplies all wants; it makes soul and body completely happy.
— Thomas Watson
The Scripture
The Scripture is to be its own interpreter, or rather the Spirit speaking in it; nothing can cut the diamond but the diamond; nothing can interpret Scripture but Scripture.
