The Christian’s Only Comfort by Theodorus VanderGroe

Nothing but God alone can provide the soul with true and essential satisfaction, comfort, and encouragement. There is but one comfort for a poor and believing sinner. Only one Object can yield true and essential comfort. All comfort that is sought for and found outside of this Object is extremely harmful and vain.
