The first experience of faith must be toward God in Christ Jesus and not toward the blessings themselves. The Scripture says, “Let Israel hope in the lord, for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption” (Ps. 130:7). The sinner is not to set his thoughts on the blessings and the promises that he wants; but he is to look to, go to, and embrace the Lord Jesus Christ; for He, himself, is the source of mercy and the fountain of redemption. If we have him, we have all that he is!
