EXTRACTS

Those forming the assembly are all sons according to Paul’s doctrine, and they have the Spirit of God’s Son, and this will give character to the tabernacle in which God will dwell. Divine affection will pervade the whole position; the love of Christ for the assembly, and the love of the assembly for Christ will be there, and the Father’s love pervading all. Everything will radiate these affections—the Father’s for Christ and all the sons, and Christ’s affections for the bride, the assembly, and they will never grow dim, they will always be fresh and new.

J. Taylor (N.S. Vol. 49, p.483)

Christianity does not consist in the holding of doctrine, but in living association with Christ.

There is nothing more important than that Christ is chosen of God and at the same time precious to us. He will not be otherwise than precious; if He is not precious to us we are nothing, but if He is precious we have everything in Him. I venture to say that there is only One who is indispensable to us down here, and that is Christ; a man might be bereft of everything down here, but if he had Christ he could get on.
