He Who Does Not Know Him, Knows

Consider That As A Principle Of Love Is The Main Principle In The Heart Of A Real Christian, So The Labor Of Love, Is The Main Business Of The Christian Life.

As It Is With Spiritual Discoveries And Affections Given At First Conversion, So It Is In All Subsequent Illuminations And Affections Of That Kind; They Are All Transforming. There Is A Like Divine Power And Energy In Them As In The First Discoveries; They Still Reach The Bottom Of The Heart, And Affect And Alter The Very Nature Of The Soul, In Proportion To The Degree In Which They Are Given. And A Transformation Of Nature Is Continued And Carried On By Them To The End Of Life, Until It Is Brought To Perfection In Glory.

There Is Nothing That Keeps Wicked Men At Any One Moment Out Of Hell, But The Mere Pleasure Of God

God Is The Highest Good Of The Reasonable Creature. The Enjoyment Of Him Is Our Proper; And Is The Only Happiness With Which Our Souls Can Be Satisfied. To Go To Heaven, Fully To Enjoy God, Is Infinitely Better Than The Most Pleasant Accommodations Here. Better Than Fathers And Mothers, Husbands, Wives, Or Children, Or The Company Of Any, Or All Earthly Friends. These Are But Shadows; But The Enjoyment Of God Is The Substance. These Are But Scattered Beams; But God Is The Sun. These Are But Streams; But God Is The Fountain. These Are But Drops, But God Is The Ocean.

All Truth Is Given By Revelation, Either General Or Special, And It Must Be Received By Reason. Reason Is The God-given Means For Discovering The Truth That God Discloses, Whether In His World Or His Word. While God Wants To Reach The Heart With Truth, He Does Not Bypass The Mind.
