ETERNAL LIFE NO. 8

ETERNAL LIFE NO. 8

A dear simple soul said to me, I prefer to share in Christ’s life than to have a life given to myself. As Christ is my life, and as I am of Christ I can never lose it. Nothing of Christ could perish. It distresses me to hear discussions about so great a thing as eternal life before there has been a waiting on the Lord to apprehend the nature of the gift. People turn to some or other writings to learn what it is instead of just learning what it is on one’s knees and through the light of the word.... Eternal life is not a person, but the power to enjoy what a person is. This is simple. We enjoy it in Christ, and by His Spirit. It is very cheering to be here, they are so clear and steadfast. The Lord lead you here some time — about a hundred brothers in the meeting.
