A MERE speculative knowledge of Christ, and of the great doctrines of the gospel, however laboriously acquired and extensive it may be, is of small importance in itself, and quite vain and ineffectual, if it be not sanctified, and issue in experimental knowledge of Christ, and a real feeling of the beauty and excellency, and efficacy of divine truth on the heart. A man may have a competent, nay, a very extensive acquaintance with the whole doctrines of the Christian religion … yet if you have not the experimental knowledge of Christ, all your knowledge is in vain as to the salvation of your souls.
For the reference, see Thomas Boston on the experimental knowledge of Christ.
