That wonderful dispen sation of the divine love and mercy to us, the Gospel, emphatically tlie grace of God, cannot be really accepted by us as a truth, without awakening thankfulness and endeavour, nor neglected, without gross ingratitude. " The love of Christ " ought, no doubt, " to constrain us to live no longer to our selves, but to him who died for us and rose again. " But mere moral motives are w r eak to resist passion : and gratitude, even when vivified by the aid of the Holy Spirit, ne...eds to be strengthened and reinforced by other principles of action. And as the truth of the omnipresence of God realised by faith, is a powerful motive against sin, and we fear to offend in the presence of Him, or more accurately, in Him, " in whom we live and move and have our being ; " 1 so the belief of the actual presence of the Holy Ghost acting in and with our spirit, the awful conviction that the Divinity Himself is working in the mysterious processes of our inner life, should surely impress us strongly with a dread of sin, of the inward thought, no less than of the outward act, and should lead us (as the Apostle argues from the indwelling of God in His people) " to cleanse ourselves from all filthiness both of the flesh 1 Acts, xvii.
