“Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings.” -Ephesians 1:3 All the goodness of the past, the present, and the future, Christ bestows upon his people.

“Acquaint now thyself with him.” -Job 22:21 If we would rightly “acquaint ourselves with God, and be at peace,” we must know him as he has revealed himself, not only in the unity of his essence and subsistence, but also in the plurality of his persons. God said, “Let us make man in our own […]
