(2 Corinthians 6:2).) NOW. (2 Cor. 6:2²(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

What a wondrous truth for a child to know, and because God has said it! Ah, that is what makes it so valuable. What comfort to poor doubting souls. God says, Behold! Few, indeed, fix their eyes upon the word which says, “Now are we the sons of God.” O! make room in your hearts for such tidings!

“No condemnation! precious word!

Consider it, my soul,

Thy sins were all on Jesus laid,

His stripes have made thee whole.”
