The Saint Possesses All things In CHRIST And With CHRIST!

The richest man in the world!
(Thomas Brooks, "The Crown and Glory of Christianity, 

or, HOLINESS, the Only Way to Happiness", 1662) 

"Having nothing--and yet 

possessing all things." 
2 Corinthians 6:10 

This is a riddle the world cannot understand. 
A holy man cannot be a poor man. 
A holy man is always the richest man. 
The riches of a Christian have no bottom. 
All a saint's bags, are bottomless bags.

Experience tells us that unholy men's 

bags, purses, coffers, and mints--
may be drawn dry. But the treasury, 
the riches of a saint--
can never be exhausted, 
for he possesses all things 
in CHRIST and with CHRIST! 

The Christian has the GOD of all--
he has HIM who has all

Though he has nothing in hand--

yet he has all things in hope
A holy man is the richest man 
in the world, for he has the great 
and glorious GOD engaged by many 
thousand promises . . .
  to own him, 
  to bless him,
  to stand by him, 
  to give grace and glory to him, and
  to withhold nothing from him 

that may be good for him. 

When wicked men brag of their 

great possessions and riches--
a holy man may make his boast 
of GOD, and say, "GOD is mine! 
GOD is mine! HE is my great all
HE is my all in all; and therefore 
I am richer and a greater possessor 
than any wicked man in the world--
yes, than all wicked men i
n the world put together!"
