"O believer, though the arms of thy faith be small and weak, yet they embrace a great Christ, and receive the richest gift that ever God bestowed upon the world. No sooner art thou become a believer, but Christ is in thee the hope of glory; and thou hast the broad seal of heaven to confirm thy title and claim to the privileges of adoption, for 'to as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God.' ...O precious faith! The treasures of ten thousand worlds cannot purchase such privileges as these; all the crowns and scepters of the earth, sold at full value, are no price for such mercies."
