John Gill "the word of God is a large field to walk and meditate in;

it is sufficient to instruct all men in all ages, both with respect to doctrine and duty,

and to make every man of God perfect; it has such a height and depth of doctrine

and mysteries in it as can never be fully reached and fathomed, and such a breadth as is not to be measured: the fulness of the Scripture can never be exhausted;

the promises of it reach to this life, and that which is to come;"
