Nothing can more plainly show us, that it is not religious things or opinions to which we are called upon to give testimony, but to Christ – Christ, in the infinite perfections of His person, work, worth, and coming.
Paul and others, through grace, kept so close to Christ, that the savor of His knowledge was made manifest by them in every place. If he wrote a letter, it was full of Christ; his inspired epistles show this. The Apostle John also tells us that he was banished to the isle of Patmos for the Word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
