3. The love of God to Believers is a bountiful love, streaming forth continually mercies both innumerable and invaluable to their Souls and Bodies, 2 Pet. 1. 3. Christian, it would quickly weary thine arm, yea, let me say the arm of an Angel; but to write down the thousandth part of the mercies which have already flowed out of this precious fountain to thee; though all thou hast received, or shalt receive in this world, are but the beginnings of mercy, and first-fruits of the love of God to thee; 'tis the love of God which daily loads thee with benefits, as the expression is, Psal. 68. 19. And if thou art daily loaded ⟨p. 254⟩with mercies, what an heap of mercies will the mercies of thy whole life be.
4. The love of God to believers is a distinguishing love, not the portion of all, no, nor yet of many besides thee, 1 Cor. 1. 26.

Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thy self to me, and not to the world.
