Upon this ground you may rest secure; and, in the strength of an Almighty arm, bid defiance to the open assaults, or secret stratagems of the enemies of your peace. Whilst the SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS continues to impart his chearing beams, and fountains of living water spring up on every side to refresh the weary pilgrim, you may pursue your journey through the VALLEY OF BACA, with peace and confidence; you may "lift up your heads with joy, as the Ransomed of the LORD;" and "proceed from strength to strength, till you appear before the GOD OF GODS in SION." DISCOURSE XVI. The true Knowledge of God internal and practical. JOB, CHAP. xlii. VER. 5, 6. "I HAVE HEARD OF THEE BY THE HEARING OF THE EAR; BUT NOW HATH MINE EYE SEEN THEE: THEREFORE I ABHOR MYSELF, AND REPENT IN DUST AND ASHES." We can scarcely open any part of the Scriptures, but we meet with the following great and leading truths of Religion: viz. that the LOVE OF GOD is universal; that his "GRACE, which bringeth Salvation, hath appeared unto all men;" that he hath given a "manifestation of his Spirit to every man, to profit withal;" that "GOD so loved the world, that he hath given his ONLY-BEGOTTEN SON, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting Life:" that he is "the True Light, that lighteth every man that cometh into the world;" that GOD "wills not the death of a sinner, but rather that he would be converted and live;" that his call has been, and now is to "every man," every where, "to repent;" and that every man may partake of this Universal Love, may be saved by this "Grace which hath appeared," may profit by the manifestation which GOD hath given him. To these great and leading truths we are continually called and exhorted to attend; and that there is a possibility of attending and yielding to them, is implied in the very nature and spirit of the declarations themselves. For, certainly, all is in vain--the call to all in vain, the appearance of Grace to all in vain, the gift and manifestation of the Spirit to every one in vain, and the shining of the Light in vain, if fallen man is not put into a capacity of obeying it, and walking therein.
