The eternal life pledged to me in Thy Son, my God! that is what I have got; and that eternal life entirely changes death and the grave to me. The life of the body is corruptible, every day tending to corruption. What grace it is on Christ's part to sever the soul from it! But I have a life which is altogether new, a life born of incorruptible seed, which nothing has power to corrupt. It is not only like pure water gushing out of a rock, but water of such purity and brightness, that you can neither color nor corrupt it. But let us ask ourselves, " Has this eternal life been marking the life we are leading?" To-day, for instance, have we been passing with it through every duty? A saint has no business to do anything unless he can recognize Christ in it. If to-day you have been living a life in the body, indulging its lusts, wishing for this thing and that, you have not been walking as one who possesses the eternal life.
