It is unpleasing to remark, how few of the number who profess the faith of Christ, and bear the name of Christian, fulfil the sacred obligations of that faith, or live agreeable to the truth and importance of that name. Yet nothing can be more certain, than that the profession of a faith, and the hearing a names without a correspondent life and actions, will be worse than unavailing—will be v pernicious and fatal: a reflection which many Christians seem not much inclined to make. What St. Panl says of the Jew* and his privi- V ges. may be applied to the Chris tian ; u He is not a y?w*vrho is one outwardly ; neither is that circum cision, which is outward in the flesto : but he is a yew.who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God.” Have we not then, in these words, a key to the grand and most essen tial characteristic of the Christian ? He is not one who depends upon ex ternal privileges or ceremonies ; who places his hope of salvation in any outward work or service; pr who fondly thinks that his mere profes sion of faith, or attachment to a pe culiar church, his obedience to en joined modes or forms, or his knowl edge of the great principles of his Religion, will alone recommend him to God, or ensure his future and e ternal felicity convinced, that . God will accept only the heart, he endeavours that /"om * hence, as the tout,tain, may fidw the free and uni form streams of willing obedience. Engaged by the love of God in Christ, he loves him in return ; and this love in his soul is the active and vigorous principle of all both to God and man. Hence it is, in every external ast cf duty to his Father and Redeemer, be is always found zealous, regular, and constant. The same divine love whirh bows his ready knee to private prayer in his with devout cheerfulness, to the assembly of the saints, to the great congrega tion. that he may unite in the prai ses of the Lord ; and if he be master of a family, engages to call together his happy house, that they may pre sent their joint supplications before * the throne of grace. Actuated by the same engaging principle, he o *ni*s no opportunity, which his situa tion. allows, of remembering him in the blessed communion, who forgot the dearest interests of his creatures; and will never fail those, who grate fully. remeftiber his adorable mercies mtft mankind. The hypocrite, it is fttit • may perform these services; i! e Christian only performs them f|«|P‘abiy, for he performs them in mmi m love* And to mark the def ence between such a one and a mere i.ro fessor, be it observed, the reli gion of the former continually at tends him, and is never laid aside, like a Sunday suit: in all the offices and occurrences of life, as he acts upon the saint principle, so he acts rightly and conscientiously. It is true, he is not, he cannot be sup posed, absolutely free from error or mistake ; but he is always free from wilful and corrupt prevarication. Whatever relation he bears in life, considers it his duty to fulfil that re lation, as to Christ, and not to men: hence he becomes a faithful and af fectionate husband, a tender and care ful father, a kind brother, a steady and zealous friend, an obliging and hospitable neighbour, a worthy mas ter, and a loyal subject.—ln all his dealings with others he maintains the strictest integrity and justice, ever bearing in mind, and acting conformably to that golden rule of moral conduct which the gospel de livers, “ Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” in the like circumstances and situation. A rule, which alone would serve to render him benevolent and charitable, as well as just, were he not animated to be so by a thousand other motives, which concur to make him exempla ry in works of humanity and jpiety. While thus the Christian endea vours (through the love of him in whom he believes ) to fulfil every du ty towards God and man, he forgets not himself ; but desirous to eradicate every evil temper, to destroy every corrupt passion, and to gain a per fect renovation of his nature, he watches with assiduous care over his soul, examines his heart with impar tial severity, mortifying every vice t© which he finds himself prone, cultivating every virtue of which he perceives the deficiency : to this end he places always before him the great example of his beloved Sa viour ; and knowing that he is called to imitate him, and then only can be styled a Christian properly, when he has the mind or disposition which was in Christ, he makes it his labour to trace out the virtues and tempers in Jesus peculiarly de signed for imitation, and constantly copies after them, however faintly, however imperfectly. Convinced especially how much depends upon inward tempers, these he watches with especial diligence ; and as words and actions flow from them, his first care is to purify the fountains, as well assured that then the streams will flow clear. Hu mility, he rightly judges the basis of all Christian virtues, and love the perfection; no wonder, therefore, that he is above measure studious in the improvement of them. These are some faint outlines of the character of a Christian ; a character, which infidels themselves must ac knowledge to be amiable > and after which, if all who bear the sacred name, would aspire, no argument would be found so effectual to silence every opposer of our most holy faith* But alas l we are not, we do not even attempt to be what we We sit down in a languid indiffer ence, content ourselves with some lamt efforts, some weak external ser vices ; and wedded either to profit or pleasure, are neither warmed by the love of Christ, nor influenced by those high objects which our faith presents to us. Yet we may be bold to say, that as no man here upon earth is, or can be so happy as the true Christian, so no honour can be equal to that which attends this ex cellent character. But of these points more hereafter. Let it be observed, that as we have here been drawing the picture of the advanced Christian only, we have not attemp ted to speak of his faith, further than as productive of its genuine fruits.— However, with respect to it, let us add, that he believes what is repeal ed in the oracles of God ; that, in conformity to the faith of the uni versal church of Christ, he believes that man has sinned; Christ has di ed tor him ; and that eternal redemp tion is procured for ail who believe in, love and obey him, 3n*ci>Qte£.
