Holiest of All: Meditations on the Book of Hebrews "What teaching is needed to give health and vigor to the Christian life in order that, through all adverse circumstances, it may hold fast from the beginning, firm until the end?

salvation.<br />

Let us try and grasp this. God is the blessedness <strong>of</strong> the<br />

creature. When God is all to the creature, when He is allowed
