Do I as a Christian understand myself? Do I know my own real identity? My own real destiny? I am a child of God, God is my Father; heaven is my home; every day is one day nearer. My Saviour is my brother; every Christian is my brother too.

He has in effect resolved that henceforth for all eternity his happiness shall be conditional upon ours.
