THE Christian, while in common with all men receiving earth’s good things from God, has heavenly good things for his present enjoyment, and of these things the world is utterly ignorant. The love of God is shed abroad in his heart by the Holy Ghost, who is given to him; the love of Christ constrains him; the Holy Ghost continually ministers to his soul, and fills him with joy unspeakable and full of glory. It is not simply that the Christian knows that his future will be happy; his present is inexpressibly blessed. Reader, art thou a Christian?
