1. Christs spirit extols the Scriptures; It is written, saith Christ against Satan. Have ye not read in the Scriptures, saith Christ against the Sadducees, Matth. 22. Search the Scriptures, saith Christ, they bear witness of me. He taught the multitude and disciples, as its written in the Scriptures. He rebukes them, Luke 24. v. 25. as fools and slow of heart, for not believing the Scriptures. When he would carry in real influences of grace to the heart, he carries them along by the Scripture, and opens the understanding that they may understand the Scripture, Luke 24. 45. that is the spirit of Satan in some, who boast that they are beyond and above the word of the Kingdom, and such must be beyond and on the other side of heaven.
