1. The assured Believer knows he is rich in the midst of Poverty, Col. 2.2. Though I cannot say riches are mine, yet I can say Christ is mine, and that is more. Though I cannot say silver and gold is mine, yet I can say grace and glory is mine, and that is better. This believer can look up towards Heaven, and say, yonder is the place, the palace, the Kingdom I have a title to, above yonder Heavens must I for ever dwell; above yonder Sun is a mansion for me, oh I long to be there, where I know I shall for ever be. My heart is filled with joy, while I think on it; oh what joy shall enter into me, when I shall enter into that joyful, blessed place; though now I walk in rags, I shall shortly be clothed with white and glorious Robes. Now a Cottage is my ⟨p. 322⟩house, but a stately building is prepared for me. 2 Cor. 5.1. Joh. 14.2, 3.
