They who know the power of God, cannot but fear him, and stand in awe of his presence and threatenings; They fear him who is able to cast soul and body into hell, 1Heb. 12. 27, 28. They will depend on him, because there is no want which the Almighty cannot supply, no weakness which he ⟨p. 803⟩cannot remove, no danger which he cannot prevent or support in. Acquaintance with him who is mighty in strength, makes the Christian resolute in Gods cause, and as bold as a Lion at his call and command.

They who know the eternity of God, will choose him before temporal vanities; What are the pleasures of sin for a season in his eye, who seeth the pleasures at Gods right hand for evermore? What are the honours on earth, to him who knoweth the eternal weight of glory? What are temporal relations, in comparison of the everlasting Father? Nay, what is his natural life to eternal life? no good is little that is eternal; how great then is the infinite and eternal God?
