It is the never-failing characteristic of true religion, to prompt its professor, in imitation of the great apostle of the Gentiles, forgetting the things that are behind, to press forward towards the prize of his high and heavenly calling; and to be continually advancing in his Christian course, and never to be satisfied with his actual attainments, but to be striving to root out every remaining corruption, and to perfect every Christian grace, that he may bring every thought and feeling into the obedience of Christ;—to live more habitually under the influence of that divine Spirit, of which Christians are said, in Scripture, to be the temples;—and to feel more constantly and more powerfully the life and force of this blessed principle.
