CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY
" Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear." — I Peter 3:15 [KJV] When the Lord Jesus is the glory of the soul, it is the soul's glory to sanctify Him, and Him only. How joyful to have one's heart detached from every other object and hope, and its whole delight to glorify our Saviour! How ravishing to dwell on the wonders of His love, the riches of His grace, the greatness of His sufferings, the fulness of His redemption, the perfection of His righteousness, the prevalency of His intercession, and all issuing in the eternal life of such vile sinful wretches as we are! Verily, under such views, most cheerfully does the believer sanctify the Lord Immanuel in his heart. Hence, how powerful is his soul animated with holy boldness against the fear of man! Yea, inflamed with love to the truth, how ready to give a reason of his hope! Perhap
