I was upon the brink of hell',

Back to John Flavel's "The Method of Grace"

---

Acceptance with God brings you to heaven hereafter, 
but assurance will bring heaven into your souls now!
O, what a life of delight and pleasure does the assured 
believer live! What pleasure is it to him to look back 
and consider where he once was—and where he now is; 
to look forward, and consider where he now is—and 
where shortly he shall be! 

"I was in my sins—I am now in Christ! I am in Christ 
now—I shall be with Christ, and that forever, after a 
few days! I was upon the brink of hell—I am now 
upon the very borders of heaven!"
