The New Life

God^sGiftofHis Son.
King. Thou, Lord, art All, and Thou art wholly mine.
Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift. • Amen.
1. Ponder much the word Give. God gives in a wonderful
way : from the heart, completely for nothing, to the unworthy.
And He gives effectually. What He gives He will really make
entirely our possession, and inwardly appropriate for us. Believe
this, and you shall have the certitude that Jesus will, to
the full, come into your possession, with all that He brings.
2. Ponder much also that other word Take. To take Jesus,
and to hold Him fast and use Him when received, is our great
work. And that taking is nothing but trusting. He is mine
with all that He has. Take Jesus—the full Jesus—every day as
yours. This is the secret of the life of faith.
Then weigh well also the word Have. " He that hath the
3.
Son hath light." What I have is mine, for my use aud service.
I can dispose of it, and can have the full enjoyment of it. " He
that hath the Son hath life.''
4. Mark especially that what God gives, and what you take,
and what you now have, is nothing less than the living Son of
God.
Do you receive this?
