Again, Is it not good and profitable that our prayers should be heard, that God should hear and grant our requests and prayers? Why, look into the Scriptures, and you will find that our love is a help to our prayers; it is a help unto us, whereby to have our prayers heard and answered.
Again, Is it not good and profitable for a man to know that he is a child of God, and that he hath an interest in Christ? Why, look into 1 John 3.14. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren: There is a day of death, of natural death, whereby man shall pass from life to death; and there is likewise a time of spiritual life; when a man passeth from death to life. Now ⟨p. 111⟩how shall I know whether I am passed from death to life? Why, if I love the brethren. Yea saith Christ, Hereby shall all know that you are my disciples, if you love one another; not only your selves shall know it, but others shall know it also; and is it not then very good, and profitable? For hereby you shall know that your prayers are heard; and by this also you shall know that you are passed from death to life; and hereby you shall not only know your selves to be Christs disciples, but others shall know it also: and if it be so, then certainly it must be good and profitable.
