Puritans on Perseverance. Octavius Winslow

By shedding abroad God’s love in the soul—by sprinkling the conscience with the atoning blood—by endearing the Saviour to our hearts—by leading us more simply to rest in His finished work, yes, to rest in Himself—by creating and increasing love to the members of the one family, and fellowship with whatever is holy, heavenly, and useful, He thus testifies to our Divine relationship.
