C. March 1 LONDON, January 30, 1762. When you was justified, you had a direct witness that your sins were forgiven; afterward this witness was frequently intermitted, and yet you did not doubt of it. In like manner, you have had a direct witness that you are saved from sin; and this witness is frequently intermitted, and yet even then you do not doubt of it. But I much doubt if God withdraws either the one witness or the other without some occasion given on our part. I never knew any one receive the abiding witness gradually; therefore I incline to think this also is given in a moment. But there will be still after this abundant room for a gradual growth in grace.","word_count":127,"source_url":null,"themes":["assurance","pneumatology","justifying-grace"],"created_at":"2026-01-29T20:01:51.166733"}]}
