Spiritually Mindedness - The Object of Our Thoughts (1) Jesus

Faith has continual recourse to Jesus, on the account of what He did and suffered for us in this world; for thereon pardon of sin, justification, and peace with God, do depend. This arises, in the first place, from a sense of our own wants. But love of him is no less necessary unto us than faith in him; and although we have powerful motives unto love from what he did and was in this world, yet the formal reason of our adherence unto him thereby is what he is in himself as he is now exalted in heaven. If we rejoice not at the remembrance of his present glory, if the thoughts of it be not frequent with us and refreshing unto us, how dwelleth his love in us?
