“Acquaint now thyself with Him.” — Job 22:21

If we would rightly “acquaint ourselves with God, and be at peace,” we must know Him as He has revealed Himself, not only in the unity of His essence and subsistence, but also in the plurality of His persons. God said, “Let us make man in our own image” — let not man be content until he knows something of the “us” from whom his being was derived. Endeavour to know the Father; bury your head in His bosom in deep repentance, and confess that you are not worthy to be called His son; receive the kiss of His love; let the ring which is the token of His eternal faithfulness be on your finger; sit at His table and let your heart make merry in His grace. Then press forward and seek to know much of…

the Sonof God who is the brightness of His Father’s glory, and yet in unspeakablecondescension of grace became man for our sakes; know Him in thesingular complexity of His nature: eternal God, and yet suffering, finiteman; follow Him as He walks the waters with the tread of deity, and as Hesits upon the well in the weariness of humanity. Be not satisfied unlessyou know much of Jesus Christ as your Friend, your Brother, yourHusband, your all. Forget not the Holy Spirit; endeavour to obtain a clearview of His nature and character, His attributes, and His works. Beholdthat Spirit of the Lord, who first of all moved upon chaos, and broughtforth order; who now visits the chaos of your soul, and creates the order ofholiness. Behold Him as the Lord and giver of spiritual life, the Illuminator,the Instructor, the Comforter, and the Sanctifier. Behold Him as, like holyunction, He descends upon the head of Jesus, and then afterwards restsupon you who are as the skirts of His garments. Such an intelligent,scriptural, and experimental belief in the Trinity in Unity is yours if youtruly know God; and such knowledge brings peace indeed.
