"The Holy Spirit operates on the human character to produce a new heart and a new life. By this operation the affections and faculties of the man receive a new impulse....his dark understanding is illuminated, his rebellious will is subdued, his irregular desires are rectified;his judgment is informed, his imagination is chastised, his inclinations are sanctified; his hopes and fears are directed to their true and adequate end. Heaven becomes the object of his hopes, and eternal separation from God the object of his fears. His love of the world is transformed into the love of God." - HANNAH MORE

"Let us get love to Christ. Love is a holy transport. It fires the affections, steels courage, and carries a Christian above the love of life, and the fear of death. "Many waters cannot quench love" (Song of Solomon 8:7). Love made Christ suffer for us. If anyone ask what Christ died of, it may be answered, He died of love. If we love Christ, we will own him in the worst times, and be like that virgin of whom Basil speaks who, not accepting deliverance upon sinful terms, cried out, 'Let life and money go, welcome Christ!'" - Thomas Watson The Great Gain of Godliness, pg. 10

"Do you mortify; do you make it your daily work; be always at it whilst you live; cease not a day from this work; be killing sin or it will be killing you. Your being dead with Christ virtually, your being quickened with him, will not excuse you from this work. And our Saviour tells us how His Father deals with every branch in Him that bears fruit, every true and living branch 'He purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit' (John 15:2) He prunes it, and that not for a day or two, but whilst it is a branch in this world. - John Owen The Mortification of Sin in Believers (Vol. 6, pg. 9-10)
