"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

"And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know H im that is true, and we are in H im that is true, even in H is Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life." - I JOHN 5:20 [KJV] When the Lord Jesus is pleased in some solemn hour to reveal Himself to our soul, when He graciously condescends to take the veil from off our heart that we may behold His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth, when He kindly favours us with some manifestation and discovery of Himself as the Son of God, the brightness of the Father's glory and the express image of His Person, then we know that the Son of God is come. How do you know that the sun rose this morning? By the light which rose with it. So we may say, spiritually, "How do you know that the Son of God is come?"

Pink (1886-1952 A.D.)
