A Letter

The following is an excerpt from a letter written on the 1st of June 1855, by an elderly Christian by the name of Andrew Miller, to a young believer who had not been saved very long:

Two things make me very happy:

1. I am washed in the blood of Christ.

“The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:7).

2. I am made in Christ the righteousness of God.

“For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).

Therefore I am fit to be in the holy presence of God, where there is fulness of joy and pleasures for evermore.

May you be kept in the faith, living, walking, and acting in the holy presence of our God and Father, with a single eye and an undivided heart for the glory of His Son, your living Savior, by the divine power of the Holy Ghost.

This letter written long ago also expresses the prayer and desire of today’s writer for each reader.
