@Toneskeee The Spirit applieth to us the redemption purchased by Christ, by working faith in us, and thereby uniting us to Christ in our effectual calling.
@Toneskeee Christ executeth the office of a priest, in his once offering up of himself a sacrifice to satisfy divine justice and reconcile us to God, and in making continual intercession for us.
So if we desire strong faith and powerful love, which gives us rest, peace, and satisfaction, we must seek them by diligently beholding the glory of Christ by faith. In this duty I desire to live and to die.
John Owen, The Glory of Christ, 7.
It is by beholding the glory of Christ by faith that we are spiritually edified and built up in this world, for as we behold his glory, the life and power of faith grows stronger and stronger. It is by faith that we grow to love Christ.
The assurance of salvation is an important aspect of faith; it is the conviction that we are loved by God and that we belong to Him, based not on our feelings but on His promises.
