What a sure and immutable source of happiness we have-divine and immediate nearness to God! He has adopted us to Himself as children (see Eph. 1), and given a nature capable of enjoying it, and the Holy Ghost as power (unlimited in itself), and that based on a redemption which places us fully in unclouded favor and fully known love, exercised and accomplished towards us in it, in a position as assured as the value of the redemption itself-eternal redemption. 311
