If God be for us, who can he against us; he who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him freely give us all things? Even his Holy Spirit which he promised us so often, and is purchased already by Christ. Luke 11:5-13. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea, rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Romans 8:31-34. Likewise, the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities, for we know not what to pray for, as we ought, but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings, which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26. See also Romans 8:15-16.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, being for me, nay, mine own, all that belongs to them, even the whole heaven is mine, and he pours down continually the blessing of his grace for the never ceasing intercessions and cryings of Christ’s blood. For through my Mediator and Minister of the true tabernacle, my prayer ascends to God, and all the fulness of God descents to me. O that only my heart was always wide open to receive the same.
Come, let us lift our joyful eyes
Up to the courts above,
And smile to see our Father there
Upon a throne of love.
The peaceful gates of heavenly bliss
Are opened by the Son:
High let us raise our notes of praise
And reach the Almighty throne.
