For any holy motion, for any commencement of good, nay, even for any reception of good, I must wholly and solely depend upon "the grace of God that bringeth salvation." I need pardon ; I need healing ; I need One to die for me, and to raise me up, by infusing into my dead soul His life. And I need a provision which will come down to me and meet my case. Most precious is the offer of the gospel, in all its freeness and fulness. But I need more. I have not the power to receive it. I require the grace of the Holy Ghost. And even after I have received that grace, I require the constant aid and support of His Spirit. But all this is provided in His covenant; and all that is so provided is freely placed at my disposal.
