Brethren, I am going to say nothing but what you all know,
and I do not mean to garnish it with finery of words.
The truth is that there are many who are barely Christians,
and have scarcely enough grace to float them into heaven,
the keel of their vessel grating on the gravel all the way;
my prayer is that we may reach deep waters,
and have so much grace that we may sail like a gallant bark on the broad ocean with a glorious cargo on board and all colors flying,
so that there may be administered unto us an abundant entrance into the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
For this everything is provided.
Christ has not merely placed enough bread on the table to keep us from starving,
his oxen and fatlings are killed, he has spread a royal festival.
He has not provided a scanty garment which may barely hide your nakedness,
but he has brought forth the best robe,
and has procured earrings for your ears jewels for your necks,
and a crown royal for your heads;
for it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell for all his saints.
If you have not these riches the fault lies with yourself.
It is there, you might have it if you had but faith to take it.
I thank God that we can groan, for that is something; but there is a more excellent way, a better gift to be earnestly coveted. In Christ ye are rich to the fullness of riches; get ye up, I pray you, to the high places, and realize for yourselves the fullness of God in Christ Jesus.
From a sermon by Charles Haddon Spurgeon entitled "The Fulness of Christ, The Treasury of the Saints," delivered April 19, 1874.
