“The primary purpose of the Sermon on the Mount is to set before men the law of the Kingdom.” (Page 70)

“The New Testament rests upon the accuracy of this genealogy because it establishes the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ is of the line of Abraham and of the line of David. Both are very important. The line of Abraham places Him in the nation, and the line of David puts Him on the throne—He is in that royal line.” (Pages xx–21)

“The Kingdom of Heaven is the theme of this Gospel.” (Page xiii)

“Why is it that many of us are having trouble living the Christian life? May I say this very kindly: It is ignorance of the Word of God.” (Page 58)

“The Lord is saying that the strongest relationship today is the relationship between Christ and a believer” (Page 174)
