13. Dost thou believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, God _over all blessed for ever_? Is he _revealed in_ thy soul? Dost thou _know Jesus Christ and him crucified_? Does he _dwell in thee, and thou in him_? Is he _formed in thy heart by faith_? Having absolutely disclaimed all thy own works, thy own righteousness, hast thou _submitted thyself unto the righteousness of_ God, _which is by faith in Christ Jesus_? Art thou _found in him, not having thy own righteousness, but the righteousness which is by faith_? And art thou, thro’ him, _fighting the good fight of faith, and laying hold of eternal life_? 14. Is thy faith ἐνεργουμένη δι’ ἀγάπης. Filled with the energy of love? Dost thou love God? I do not say, _above all things_; for it is both an unscriptural and an ambiguous expression: but _with all thy heart, and with all thy mind, and with all thy soul and with all thy strength_? Dost thou seek all thy happiness in him alone? And dost thou find what thou seekest? Does thy soul continually _magnify the Lord, and thy spirit rejoice in_ God _thy Saviour_? Having learned _in every thing to give thanks_, dost thou find, _it is a joyful and a pleasant thing to be thankful_? Is God the center of thy soul? The sum of all thy desires? Art thou accordingly _laying up thy treasure in heaven_, and _counting all things else dung and dross_? Hath the love of God cast the love of the world out of thy soul? Then thou art _crucified to the world_. Thou _art dead_ to all _below and thy life is hid with Christ in_ God. 15. *Art thou employed in doing _not thy own will, but the will of him that sent thee_? Of him that sent thee down to sojourn here a-while, to spend a few days in a strange land, till having finished the work he hath given thee to do, thou return to thy Father’s house? Is it thy meat and drink _to do the will of thy Father which is in heaven_? Is _thine eye single_ in all things? Always fixt on him? Always _looking unto Jesus_? Dost thou point at him in whatsoever thou dost? In all thy labour, thy business, thy conversation? Aiming only at the glory of God in all? _Whatsoever_ thou dost, either _in word or deed, doing it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks unto_ God, _even the Father thro’ him_? 16. Does the love of God constrain thee to _serve_ him _with fear_? To _rejoice unto him with reverence_? Art thou more afraid of displeasing God, than either of death or hell? Is nothing so terrible to thee as the thought of _offending the eyes of his glory_? Upon this ground dost thou _hate all evil ways_; every transgression of his holy and perfect law? And herein _exercise_ thyself, _to have a conscience void of offence toward_ God _and toward man_?
