As whilst a man is an Unbeliever, all God is against him; All the Power of God, the Wisdom of God, the Justice of God is against him: so if one be a Believer, all is for him. Faith makes all God ours; his Mercy ours, his Power, his Justice, &c. As Jehoshaphat said to Ahab. — I am as thou art, and my people as thy people, 2 Chron. 18.3. So God to a believing soul, all he is, or hath, is for its use.
