What is faith but dependence upon-occupation with – reception from, Another? Self is never faith's object, clearly. Thus, for the "new man, renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him," " Christ is all."

If it be testimony to Christ and fruitfulness in the world that is in question, the accomplishment of it is in this way:" If any man thirst, let him come unto Me and drink; and he that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said, out his belly shall flow rivers of living water." The precepts of the New Testament must be read in the light of passages such as these. If I were to say to a person, "Get yourself warm," he would scarcely think I meant it to be by exercise if he saw my finger pointing to the fire. Thus do the Scriptures point unceasingly to Christ in whom "dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." F. W. G.
