Calvin 13 Spurgeon 12 Matthew Henry 9 Alexander MacLaren 9 Jonathan Edwards 2 John Wesley 2 John Flavel 1

“How unbecoming is the worldly ambition of being the greatest, to the character of a follower of Jesus, who took upon him the form of a servant, and humbled himself to the death of the cross! In the way to eternal happiness, we must expect to be assaulted and sifted by Satan. If he cannot destroy, he will try to disgrace or distress us. Nothing more certainly forebodes a fall, in a professed follower of Christ, than self-confidence, with disregard to warnings, and contempt of danger. …”
