Galatians 5:5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. Our religion is spiritual faith, which speaks after this fashion: "Believe in God; believe in Jesus Christ; believe in your own soul; believe in redemption from sin, from guilt, and from punishment; and believe in the resurrection of the dead and the life everlasting." This is our religion. Infidelity comes and unfolds its little couch and lays it on the ground, and says to my soul, "Rest there." But I have tried, and cannot. The bed is too short for my soul to stretch itself upon it. It only reaches from the cradle there to the grave yonder, while my soul has desires that wander through eternity. No, thank God, here is room: God is, Christ is, thy soul is, redemption is, pardon is, liberty from sin is, and the glorious life eternal is! Stretch thy soul upon that couch and rest for ever.
