Our nature was created for God, and nothing short of God can be our end. All the faculties of our nature must be gathered together so as to be directed to this one end. Every other aim not only distracts, but destroys. Our will must rule all, so as to present our whole being a living sacrifice to God, that we may give ourselves to Him, and may lay hold upon Him. The service must be complete. It must be continuous. The exercise of the will, in resisting temptations which would draw us away from God, develops an habitual exercise of grace by which we are strengthened to resist the powers of the enemy. As the soul is thus established in grace, it becomes fitted for the changeless fruition of God in eternity.
