Monday Morning Flavel

I'm reviewing the Flavel manuscript that I wrote about here, and I think it would be just selfish of me not to share this lovely paragraph with you:


"In the same day your heart opens by faith to Christ, all the treasures of Christ are unlocked and opened to you. In the same hour God turns the key of regeneration to open your soul, the key of free grace is also turned to open unto you the unsearchable riches of Christ. Then the righteousness of Christ becomes yours to justify you, the wisdom of Christ to guide you, the holiness of Christ to sanctify you; in a word, He is that day made of God unto you, “wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption (1 Cor. 1:30). All is yours, for you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s (1 Cor. 3:23)."

~John Flavel, from England's Duty under the Present Gospel Liberty: Eleven Sermons on Revelation  3:20

Good news for a Monday morning!
