Here we see how appropriate, how delightful the Gospel is to the true Christian. It is his strength in weakness, his light in darkness, and his greatest joy under all the opposition arising from his various enemies. He receives Jesus as his wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. To him the Saviour appears as altogether lovely. He glories in his cross, experiences the love of God as shed abroad in his heart by the Holy Ghost, and abundantly rejoices in the finished work, and complete atonement made by his Lord and Saviour. 1 Cor. i. 30. Rom. v. 5. Gal. vi. 14. But while he thus embraces the remedy the Gospel affords, and is dependent on free grace alone for salvation, yet he does not think himself at liberty to neglect the divine commands, and make Christ a minister of sin.
