the Son with the salvation which is given in the promises. Pray
see to it that you never separate the word and the living God
from each other.
2. See to it also that you apprehend thoroughly the distinction
betwixt the reception of the word " as the word of man " and
" as the word of God, which works in you that believe."
3. I think that you now know what is necessary to become
strong in faith. Exercise as much faith as you have. Take a
promise of God. Say to yourself that it is certainl}' true. Go
to God and say to Him that you rely on Him for the fulfilment.
Ponder the promise, and cleave to it in converse with God.
Rely upon Him to do for you what He says. He will surely do it.
4. The Spirit and the word always go together. I can be sure
concerning all of which the word says that I must do it, that I
also can do it through the Spirit. I must receive the word and
also the command in the confidence that it is the living word of
the living God which also works in us who believe.
