DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.B. Simpson emphasizes the responsibility of believers to share the
blessings they have received from God, highlighting that every special
revelation or healing is a sacred trust meant to be communicated to
others. He encourages Christians to act as trustees of God's grace,
sharing their experiences of sanctification, healing, and hope in the
Lord's coming with those around them. Simpson warns against the
ingratitude of keeping these truths to oneself, urging believers to
influence a wider circle with the blessings they have freely received.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

When God does anything marked and special for our souls or bodies, He
intends it as a sacred trust for us to communicate to others. Freely ye
have received, freely give. It has pleased the Master in these closing
days of His dispensation of grace to reveal Himself in peculiar blessing
to the hearts of His chosen disciples in all parts of the Christian
church. But this is intended to be communicated to a still wider circle.
Every one of us who has been brought into these intimate relations with
God becomes a trustee or witness for these higher truths to everyone we
can influence.

If God has revealed Himself to us as our Sanctifier, it is that we may
help others to Him as a Sanctifier.

If He has become our Healer, it is because there are sick and suffering
people to whom we can bring some blessing. In like manner, if the hope
of the Lord's coming has become precious to us, it would be worse than
ingratitude for us to hide our testimony to this truth and hold it only
for our own personal comfort.
