The redeemed have all their good in God. God Himself is the great good
which they are brought to the possession and enjoyment of by redemption. He is
the highest good, and the sum of all that good which Christ
purchased. God Himself is the inheritance of the saints; He is the
portion of their souls. God Himself is their wealth and
treasure, their food, their life, their dwelling place, their ornament
and diadem, and their everlasting honor and glory!
The glorious excellencies and beauty of God will be what will forever
entertain the minds of the saints. The love of God will be their everlasting
feast. The redeemed will indeed enjoy other things; they will enjoy the angels,
and will enjoy one another. But that which they shall enjoy in the angels, or
each other, or in anything else whatsoever, which will yield them delight and
happiness, will be what will be seen of God in them!
