Metaphor in Context
The apostle desires that Christ, as their king, might have his laws loved, obeyed, and meditated on in their minds; and, as king of righteousness, that his blessed sceptre might be swayed in their affections and consciences; and as he was their atoning Saviour, that peace and pardon might be sensibly enjoyed in their souls; and that the altogether lovely Saviour might be enthroned, exalted, and admired, in the throne of their hearts--That Christ, said he, may dwell in your hearts by faith, that ye may be rooted and grounded in love. ver. 17.
