THE life and spiritual energy of a saint depends on his faith in what is proper to his own dispensation. This is so true, that if Le only believed what belonged to the last, it would not be life to him—it has ceased to be the test of faith to him. To Abraham, faith in Almighty God was living faith. Is that what living faith consists in now, though living faith surely owns it? A Jew not owning Jehovah would have failed from the covenant. And it is true of power too. If the Holy Ghost be not fully owned-if the proper, heavenly place of the Church be not fully owned-no general ideas of salvation, however true, will give the power, nor form and guide for Christ's glory those who neglect the former. What is special to the dispensation is the power and testimony of the dispensation, and not what is said to be common to all.
