When the sight of our righteousness or justified state in Christ returns to us, our comforts return.
When the sight of our righteousness or justified state in Christ returnes to us, our comforts returne.
We may be justified or in a justified state, and not rejoice. But if we know we are in a state of justification, we cannot but rejoice. It will make a man rejoice to purpose, when he seeth the righteousness of justification is clearly his (Isa: 45.25.) Surely shall one say in the Lord have I righteousness and strength: One shall say this: He shall not only have righteousness in the Lord, but he shall say he hath; that is, he shall be able to make it out; he shall have the light of it upon his spirit, and then as it followeth in the Prophet; In him shall all the seed of Israel be justified and shall glory. When they are able to say this, then they shall not only rejoice but glory. Glorying is the height of joy, or joy is in its full strength. The Apostle saith (Rom: 14.17.) The kingdom of God is not meat and drink (What is it then?) but righteousness (and what else?) peace and joy in the holy Ghost.
