2. The people of God in a way of believing, have comfortable communion with God: there is a state of communion with God, whereby a believer has a standing interest in the favour, power, wisdom of God, and the righteousness of Christ, and in all his offices: but besides this, there is an actual communion with God, which is sometimes more insensible, sometimes more sensible: sometimes the people of God do enjoy glorious actual communion with God in this world: this is one of those enjoyments that man fell from by his sin: and no man in his natural estate does enjoy. A carnal man may have many internal discoveries of God, and be mightily affected therewith; but they do not properly enjoy any communion with him: but the people of God do, 1 John 1.3. our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ: the fullness of this is reserved in heaven, but there is an inchoation of it here: God had communion with Abraham and others of old in a visible appearance, and now has communion with his Saints, though in a more spiritual manner.
