IV What may we believe to be
indications of our growth in grace?

1 Decrease of the selfish principle
in own conduct – this is not a
good test with those whose philosophy
is wrong. –

2. An increase of complacence & de-
-light in the holy character of God
A mind full of heaven & eternity.

3. When our holy actions grow into a
a habit – & every religious duty is a
pleasure – every thought of God a joy.

4. By an increased hatred of sin
a forsaking of it wholly – keeping
back nothing from God ~
