The more our minds are opened to take in the truth concerning the Person and work of the Redeemer, the more is the soul perfumed therewith, and the more are its faculties influenced thereby. A deeper experimental knowledge of Christ enables us to rest upon Him more simply for the whole of our salvation. It is through the truth that we become more firmly persuaded of the Father’s love to us in His Son, whereby is “the heart established in grace” (Heb 13:9). As our first believing of the gospel had a most powerful effect upon the heart, so our continued apprehensions of other portions of the truth produce beneficial results in the soul. It is because we shall have a perfect knowledge of Christ in heaven that there we shall be perfectly holy (1Jo 3:2).
