Altogether Lovely Savior

"Are you diligently using the means of grace to foster spiritual intimacy with Chirst? What do the Scriptures mean to you? Do you know, love and live the Scriptures in Christ? Is the preached Word food for your soul because it leads you to Christ? Are you using the sacraments profitably, experiencing, as one Puritan put it, that Christ becomes most familiar in them? Are your prayers punctuated with Christ-centered praises and groanings? Are you singing the Psalms christologically and communing with the saints about your altogether lovely Savior? Is Christ the desire, goal, and substance of all your use of the means of grace?"

-Joel R. Beeke in the introduction to The Gospel Mystery of Sanctification by Walter Marshall.
