The more the soul is conformable to Christ, the more confident it will be of its interest in Christ. 1 John 4. 17. 1Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgement, because as he is, so are we in this world. As he, so are we. The Child is not more like the father, then then we are like our Saviour. The Child is the father multiplied, the father of a second edition. Our Summum bonum consists in our full communion with Christ, and in our full conformity to Christ. Oh if men were more universally conformable to Christ in their affections, ends, designs, and actings, &c. they would have abundantly more clear, full, and glorious evidences of their interest in Christ. A more full conformity to Christ in heart and life, will make your lives a very Heaven, &c.
