It is God the Holy Spirit, who is the immediate source of all holiness, 1 Pet. i. 2. The Father has the glory of electing love, the Son has the glory of redeeming mercy. But let the people of God ever remember, that it is the glory of the Holy Spirit to administer the riches of the Saviour's grace to the souls of His people. As the precious gift of the Son, while the Son is the precious gift of the Father, the Spirit leads the soul to Christ, and through Christ to the Father, administers of that fulness of grace which the Father has treasured up in the Son, and thus meetens it for the present enjoyment of both the Father and the Son, in holy communion, and walking with them on earth, and for the everlasting enjoyment of them in heaven.
