A word to believers on Christian fellowship.
As long as the solemn question of the soul’s eternal salvation is left in dark uncertainty there will be little, if any, freedom of spirit to think of that which interests Christ or concerns His glory, apart from the bare matter of the sinner’s peace and safety. On the other hand, when one who professes to have the knowledge of this great salvation gives evidence in walk and ways of cold indifference to those interests, it manifests either a very shallow work in the soul or no real work at all, For be sure of this, that the work of the Spirit in a soul is as great a reality as the work of Christ for that soul, and that in whomsoever He (the Spirit) dwells, His activity will always tend to the glory of Christ. “He shall glorify Me,” said the blessed Lord; “for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you” (John 16:14).
Never, never rest until you can say, without a doubt, “I am, through grace, in a position where my gracious Lord would have me, because I am where the Word of God has placed me”; and then with purpose of heart and fervor of spirit seek to adorn it by a holy, separate, and devoted walk, and so when He comes you will not only be ready to “go in to the marriage” through faith in Him, but get His approving “well done” for faithfulness to Him. Difficulties you may have, will have, but if in the path that pleases Him, you may with all confidence count upon His sympathy and succor; and even though the misunderstandings of your fellow-Christians add bitterness to your cup, yet the sense of His smile will more than recompense you. “Them that honor Me I will honor, and they that despise Me shall be lightly esteemed” (1 Sam. 2:30). “If any man serve Me, him will My Father honor” (John 12:26).
May such “honor” be yours, dear reader, now and “till He come.”
