Joy Unspeakable

| Friday, June 23, 2006

Calvinism say the papists, make men melancholy.You who fear you shall be abridged of your joys and delights in the world, consider that the duties of religion will not extirpate and nullify your joys, but only regulate them; not remove but raise your delights. Religion is not a mattock to dig up your joys by the roots but a pruning hook to pare and cut off your branches."As the Apostle says: "Believing, ye rejoice, with joy unspeakable and full of glory. It is not spoken of the joy which shall be in Heaven but of the joy which believers have in this world. Love to Jesus Christ fills the souls with joy and glory in this life. You may tell the dimensions of an outward joy, but the joy of a believer is joy unspeakable. [Christopher Love From his sermons on the flesh and the Spirit]
