of grace to pardon,
of grace to regenerate,
of grace to sanctify,
of grace to preserve and
of grace to perfect.

a fulness of guidance in prosperity.

of power,
of love;
a fulness which it were impossible to survey,
much less to explore.
“It pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell.”
Oh, what a fulness must this be of which all receive! Fulness, indeed, must there be when the stream is always flowing, and yet the well springs up as free, as rich, as full as ever.
