Echoes from the Mission field. NOT only justification by God, and its result, peace with God, nor even the privilege of access by faith into this grace, and rejoicing in the hope of the glory:
Not only so, but we glory in tribulations also. We glory in the trials of life, since, by them, we learn God's goodness. If it be asked, how can this be? the answer is " the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts." No one can see into another's heart, but in the broken heart of the believer the love of God is shed abroad, it is so, "by the Holy Ghost who is given unto us."
Not only so, again says the apostle. Not only this rejoicing in the things by the way, but "we also joy in God." Not only do we joy in God's ways with us and for us, but in God Himself, who is blessed forever.
