Chapter 8Be Ye Holy |
|||
EVERY true son and daughter of the Lord God Almighty is a miniature tabernacle or temple, as saith Paul, 'Ye are the temple of the living God; if any man defile the temple of God, him will God destroy.' Our minds should be a holy place lined with gold of a tried faith, in which the one Christ-sacrifice for sins, is continually offered. The smoke of grateful incense, kindled by the fire of the altar, should be continually ascending. Deeply secreted in the innermost recess of our hearts and affections, as in the Ark in the Most Holy, should be the law of Gad in remembrance, the desire to seek out its hid treasures in study and meditation, and an unabated zealous determination to hold the institutions of Divine appointment in continual reverence. Thus shall we be the sons of God in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, misunderstood by all, hated by many, despised and rejected of men, persevering in a bitter probation that will end at tast, in life, and light, and joy everlasting. Then "The tabernacle of Gad shall be with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people and Gad shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away.
