Christ Is Our Best Friend, And Ere

A Minister May Fill His Pews, His Communion Roll, The Mouths Of The Public, But What That Minister Is On His Knees In Secret Before God Almighty, That He Is And No More.

Hatred Of Sin As Sin, Not Only As Galling Or Disquieting, A Sense Of The Love Of Christ In The Cross, Lie At The Bottom Of All True Spiritual Mortification.

Because He Is; That Is, Because He Is An Infinitely Glorious, Good, Wise, Holy, Powerful, Righteous, Self-subsisting , Self-sufficient , And All-sufficient Being; The Fountain And Author Of All Being And Good; The First Cause, Last End, And Sovereign Lord Of All; Therefore, He Is To Be Worshipped: Therefore, Are We To Admire, Adore, And Love Him; To Praise, To Trust And To Fear Him.

Then Are We Servants Of God, Then Are We The Disciples Of Christ, When We Do What Is Commanded Us And Because It Is Commanded Us.

Christ So Loves His People That He Sings With Joy Over Them.
