His Fullness We Have Received – Thomas Watson
“Of his fullness have all we received” (John 1:16). Put a glass under a [faucet] and it receives water out of the [faucet], drop by drop. So those who are united to Christ have the dews and drops of His grace distilling on them.

Believe on Christ – JW Chickering
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:36 KJV)
“What is it to believe on Christ?” It is, to feel your need of him; to believe that he is able and willing to save you, and to save you now; and to cast yourself unreservedly on his mercy, and trust in him alone for your salvation.
