The way to magnify the believer’s security is to see it in the midst of perils and alarms. The very depths of the waters around showed the strength and sufficiency of the ark to Noah; the ruthlessness of the sword in passing through Egypt glorified the blood that was sheltering the firstborn of Israel; and the solemn terrors of the coming day of the Lord will but enhance the safety and joy of the ransomed, whether with Jesus in the heavens or as the saved remnant in their “chambers” in the land.
