"WE BEING MANY ARE ONE BODY IN CHRIST." And every one members of another. These are the saints whom He has set apart for himself, those who worship Him as their God and Saviour and none other. They believe on His name, surrender at His call, and submit to His will. All Christians, though of low status, though compassed about with infirmities, though often cast down through doubts and fears, they are Christ's and in consequence His Father is theirs, His Spirit is theirs, His righteousness is theirs, His atonement is theirs, His peace is theirs, His wealth is theirs, Himself and all He has is theirs. If they are Christ's, He will defend them as His own, support them as His children, and cherish them as His bride. If we are Christ's, then we should entirely listen to Him when He speaks, cheerfully obey Him when He commands, refuse to believe anything that may be suggested against Him by Satan or men. Always own Him as our Lord and Master. Frequently visit Him at the throne of grace, at His table, and in His house. Live upon Him now, in hope of living with Him for ever and ever. Reader, have you good evidence that you are Christ's?

For Meditation:
All things I want, but One is nigh,
My want of all things to supply;
Pardon and peace and liberty,
My Lord gives me abundantly.
