Note the way in which justification and holiness are mingled with blessed affection when it is in the way of grace—when they are required, this cannot be. It is all very right. But grace will say, 'Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and'—not purify from evil—but ‘purify to Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.' Compare Eph. 5:25, 26, 27; and Rev. 21:27.
