You will never enjoy “Christ in you” unless you enioy you “in Christ”. And how did l get into that place? He took me in! He forgave my sins, He gives me help day by day in the exercises that come up,
Satan tempting me at every quarter, but l have a place in Christ, that
nothing, dear brethren, – nothing – can disturb. lt is a settled place of
favour in Christ. Then if l dwell on that the Holy Spirit is here that there
may be an expression of Christ in me. l think that is the great work of
the Holy Spirit, to form Christ in our affections.
