“It is fitting, after all, that we should suffer; nor can what the Lord wills ever in any instance be unjust; because on the one hand we are sinners and have to be scourged; and on the other, even if we were just, we would need to be tested.” (Page 29)

“God is waiting for them; he allows these things to prod them into seeking medical treatment, so that when they suffer the painful consequences of their lusts, they may learn what they should really ask for. Because they are the ones who are told, Do you not know that God’s patience is leading you toward repentance? (Rom 2:4). He was giving them over to the desires of their hearts, and they were doing what they liked; and yet he was sparing them, not removing them from this life in which there is still room for repentance; and he was all the time inviting them to repent, just as he still is doing, and he will never stop doing so with the human race until the final day of judgment.” (Page 32)

“So he alone was undeserving of death. We, however, are all deserving of it, because we have all of us together contracted the liability to die. He contracted no liability to die, and yet he accepted death on our behalf. So he paid what he did not owe, he liberated the debtors, he cancelled the ancient bill, he drew up a new set of papers. What need is there for us any more to settle accounts with the old papers? He has burnt them with the fire of the Holy Spirit.” (Pages 99–100)

“Insofar as ills are healed, to that extent the heavenly bread is enjoyed; we enjoy the bread of life which came down from heaven (Jn 6:51), to the extent that our ills are healed.” (Page 122)
