I. WHAT HAS GOD DONE FOR THE SOUL OF EVERY CHRISTIAN? The Christian's God has revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Each of this Divine Three has done many things for his soul, and whatever is done by either of them is done by God.

II. WHY DOES THE CHRISTIAN WISH TO DECLARE WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR HIS SOUL?

1. If we have seen or met with anything wonderful, we naturally wish to speak of it. That God should do such things for a sinful soul is beyond measure wonderful. It is by far the most wonderful of all His works. He Himself represents it as such. Well, then, may every one for whom He has done such wonders of grace and mercy, wish to declare it.

2. Regard for God's glory prompts the Christian to speak.

3. Further, he wishes to declare what God has done for his soul, in order that others may assist him in praising the bountiful Benefactor.

III. WHY DOES HE WISH TO MAKE THIS DECLARATION TO THOSE ONLY WHO FEAR GOD?

1. Because they alone can understand such a declaration.

2. Because they alone will really believe him.

3. Because they only will listen with interest, or join with him in praising his Benefactor.

IV. IMPROVEMENT. Permit me to ask you, in view of this subject —

1. Whether the returns which God requires of you in the Gospel are not most reasonable?

2. Learn from this subject how inexcusable is your ingratitude, how much reason you have for sorrow, shame, and self-abasement.

(E. Payson, D. D.)
