2 Consider, if we have Christ we have life, and that in abundance. If you have all the promises, for in him they are yea and a men, 2 G••. 1.20. All the blessings of God are yours, both spiritual, Ephes. 1.3. and temporal, 1 Tim. 4.8. 1 Cor. 3.2. last vers. If you have Christ, the world is yours, all the dealings and carriages shall be serviceable to you, whatever you want, peace, or comforts, or outward things, if you have Christ, you have all things, Rom. 8.32.
