Thomas Brooks emphasizes that true knowledge accompanying salvation is deeply heart-affecting, drawing the soul closer to Christ and igniting a passionate love for Him. He illustrates how the more one knows Christ—His nature, names, and beauty—the more one’s heart is captivated and desires Him above all else. Brooks warns against mere intellectual knowledge that lacks affection for Christ, which ultimately leads to a lifeless faith. He passionately expresses that Christ is everything to him—his life, love, joy, and crown—making Him a heaven unto his soul. The sermon concludes with a stark reminder that a lack of love for the Lord results in a curse.
