Have confidence in Christ
that he will fulfil in you all his great and precious promises,
that he will work in you all the good pleasure of his goodness,
and all the work of faith with power. Cleave to Christ, till
his blood have cleansed you from all pride, all anger, all
evil desire. Let Christ do all. Let him that has done all
for you, do all in you. Exalt Christ as a Prince to give
repentance; a Saviour both to give remission of sins, and to
create in you a new heart, to renew a right spirit within you. This is the gospel, the pure, genuine gospel; glad tidings of
great salvation. Not the new, but the old, the everlasting
gospel, the gospel not of Simon Magus, but of Jesus Christ. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ give you,
“according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with
might by his Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell
in your hearts by faith; that, being rooted and grounded in
love, ye may be able to comprehend with all saints, what is the
length, and breadth, and depth, and height; and to know
that love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be
filled with all the fulness of God!”
