A Habitual Sight of Him: The by Thomas Goodwin

Added by Postmilstill archive ·

The Indwelling of Christ by faith'is to have Jesus Christ continually in one's eye, a habitual sight of Him. I call it so because a man actually does not always think of Christ; but as a man does not look up to the sun continually, yet he sees the light of it'. So you should carry along and bear along in your eye the sight and knowledge of Christ, so that at least a presence of Him accompanies you, which faith makes. 'Thomas Goodwin, Works, 2:411
