While “the secret things belong unto the Lord our God … those things which are revealed belong to us, and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law,” and there are certain things which the Lord especially wants us to know. He wants all of us who have trusted His Son to know that we are saved eternally, and “these things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life.” Thus we can assuredly say that “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.” We can also know concerning the varied circumstances of our lives, for in the plan and provision and providence of God, “we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.” And there is no uncertainty as we look to the future. “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.”
Do you know that you know the Lord,
That His blood has cleansed you from shame,
That you will be with Him in glory,
To give praise to His blessed name?

What our God has said, He will do. He is “able also to perform” every needful thing in our lives, as we look to Him by our Lord Jesus Christ, by that power “whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself.” The believer can say with confidence that “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day,” for “He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him,” “for in that He Himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succor them that are tempted.” “Unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy.” “Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.” “God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” “Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us.” And “now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto Him be glory in the church throughout all ages, world without end.”
“Able to save to the uttermost,”
“Able to make all grace abound,”
“Able to keep” all placed in His hand,
“Able to keep you from falling” down.

Thus our Lord prayed for His own on the night before the cross, and thus He prays for us in heaven now. His prayer that night, when He said that “I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which Thou hast given Me; for they are Thine,” was a picture of His present ministry, where He is in “heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.” And “He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.” There in the glory He prays for our sanctification. As far as our position before God is concerned, “we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” The believer in Christ has been set apart (for that is the meaning of sanctification) to be the Lord’s forever. But He desires that our lives be continually set apart unto Him and lived for His honor and glory. “This is the will of God, even your sanctification,” and this moment-by-moment sanctification is “through Thy truth: Thy word is truth.” It is the Word of God, as we learn it and obey it, that produces sanctification of life. “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee.” May our heart attitude be that of the psalmist: “I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto Thy testimonies.”
Would you have your life lived for Him?
Would you His excellencies show?
Then live by His Word each moment;
His grace He will surely bestow.

“Behold, Thou hast made my days as a handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before Thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity.” “My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.” “The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.” “We know that, if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. … For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.” “As it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” “Whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord.” “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” “My times are in Thy hand.”
My life belongs to the Lord;
It is His to take or stay,
For “my times are in Thy hand,”
Safe there from day to day.

Paul, the spiritual Christian, was one of those “that love His appearing.” Demas, the carnal Christian, “loved this present world.” Paul was living for eternity; Demas, for time. There was a time when he had faithfully stood with Paul. From the Roman prison, Paul had written to the Colossian saints that “Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.” But now Demas had been ensnared by the evil age in which we live, “having loved this present world.” The Lord has plainly told us to “love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” Such world-lovers are untrue to their Lord. “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” How different with those “that love His appearing.” Such believers are not only awaiting “a crown of righteousness” at “His appearing,” they are daily “looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith” and “redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”
When we look for His returning,
Then we live for Him each day,
And the world cannot allure us,
Neither turn our hearts away.

Some believe that there is no such thing as a carnal Christian, but that a person is either all out for God or not saved at all. God’s Word, however, contradicts such teaching. Paul told the Corinthian believers, “them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints,” that “I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.” It is a sad fact that among God’s redeemed people there are those who, because of ignorance of God’s Word or because of their own unyieldedness to the Lord, have failed to “grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” Considering “the time” since their salvation, “ye ought to be teachers, [but] ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.” A carnal Christian is not necessarily worldly in character, though this is certainly included in the designation. It may be one who has remained a “babe in Christ” and did not “follow on to know the Lord” wholeheartedly.
Carnal and sinful and barren
And living like men that are lost;
Dear Christian, take heed and hearken;
Be spiritual at any cost.

Sooner or later the Christian must choose whether he will “please men” or “please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” There is nothing wrong with pleasing men as long as it does not conflict with our pleasing the Lord. “Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved,” and “let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification.” But this is a far different thing than loving “the praise of men more than the praise of God.” Christian slaves were exhorted (and the exhortation is applicable to all of us) to obey their masters, “not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: and whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” Now, “men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,” but praise from God comes either now, in His blessings to us, or when we shall stand before Him at His coming, for “then shall every man have praise of God.” Let us, then, “look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.” Our Lord said that “if any man serve Me, him will My Father honor.” Such life and service will please and honor Him and will be “a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.”
Not men, but God, to please and serve,
That His name might honored be;
Thus will our labors please Him well,
For time and eternity.

The believer in Christ has been redeemed. He has been bought out of the slave-market of sin and bought back into God’s possession. Whereas we were “sold under sin,” now “ye are not your own … ye are bought with a price.” The purchase price was the blood of Jesus Christ, for “we have redemption through His blood,” and we are now “justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.” And we are not only redeemed from sin’s penalty, but also from its power, for “our Savior Jesus Christ … gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works,” and “ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” Moreover, the time is coming when our bodies shall be redeemed, and the “Holy Spirit of promise … is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory.” “Ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.”
Redeemed by His own precious blood,
To be His own forever,
Redeemed each day from sin’s power,
Nothing from Him can sever.

We live in a temporary abode, a tent-house, subject to being taken down, for all of us live in mortal death-doomed bodies, and “in this [tabernacle] we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven.” We know that “our earthly house of this tabernacle,” the body, is only the dwelling-place for the spirit, and that for those of us who know Christ as Savior “to be absent from the body” is “to be present with the Lord,” and that “to be with Christ … is far better.” So death for the believer is just the entrance into the Lord’s presence, and “in Thy presence is fullness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore.” Nevertheless, “we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.” While we are “willing … to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord,” we are “earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven.” Day by day, “we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ: who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body.”
“To be absent from the body”
Is “to be present with the Lord,”
Where there is His “fullness of joy,”
With full harmony and accord.

That which comes out in our lives comes from our hearts, “for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.” As far as our salvation is concerned, we are “kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time,” and we are “preserved in Jesus Christ.” But we are personally responsible for the keeping of our everyday lives, the keeping of the actions of our souls. Thus we are told to “keep thy heart with all diligence” and to “keep yourselves in the love of God.” Further, we are told to “keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile” and to “keep thyself pure.” Moreover, “that good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us,” for the Holy Spirit alone can enable us to keep these “keeps” which are enjoined upon us by the Word of God, for it is by keeping the Word that we are so enabled. “Blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.” “By the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.” “Let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to Him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.”
Keep thy lips and thy feet each day,
Keep them for the glory of God,
Who is faithful to gird and guide,
By the promises of His Word.
Proverbs 4:23 ~ Matthew 12:34‑35 ~ 1 Peter 1:5 ~ Psalm 34:13 ~ 1 Timothy 5:22 ~ 2 Timothy 1:14 ~ Luke 11:28 ~ Psalm 17:4 ~ 1 Peter 4:19
