“Many hold faith as an opinion. Saving faith is a transaction, by which those who receive Christ join themselves in covenant relation with God. A living faith means an increase of vigor, a confiding trust, by which, through the grace of Christ, the soul becomes a conquering power.” The Ministry of Healing, p. 62.
“Abiding peace, true rest of spirit, has but one Source. It was this that Christ spoke when He said, ‘Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.’ (Matthew 11:28). ‘Peace I leave with you. My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.’ (John 14:27). This peace is not something that He gives apart from Himself. It is in Christ, and we can receive it only by receiving Him. . .
“When the sunlight of God’s love illuminates the darkned chambers of the soul, restless weariness and dissatisfaction will cease, and satisfying joys will give vigor to the mind, and health and energy to the body.” The Ministry of Healing, p. 247.
“Christ brings His disciples into a living union with Himself and with the Father. Through the working of the Holy Spirit upon the human mind, man is made complete in Christ Jesus.” Mind, Character and Personality, Vol. 1, p. 30.
“Behold your Helper, Jesus Christ. Welcome Him, and invite His gracious presence. Your mind may be renewed day by day, and it is your privilege to accept peace and rest, rise above worries, and praise God for your blessings. Do not erect barriers of objectionable things to keep Jesus away from your soul. Change your voice; repine not; let gratitude be expressed for the great love of Christ that has been and is still being shown toward you.” Mind Character and Personality, Vol. 1, p. 68.
