Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh; and if ministers in their hearts have abundance of knowledge of, and faith in, Jesus, they will doubtless shew this by the nature of their public services: therefore if men are continually entertaining their hearers with discourses on the divine perfections; the works of creation and providence; the nature and fitness of things; and the difference between moral good and evil; but say little or nothing of Christ, and his salvation, there is room to suspect that either they don’t know Christ, or do not believe in him. The Apostle Paul says, we also believe and therefore speak; and John says, that which we have seen and heard (of Christ) declare we unto you.
