: : Privileges of the Obedient : : Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. John 15:14. : : Those who live in close fellowship with Christ will be promoted by Him : to positions of trust. The servant who does the best he can for his Master : is admitted to familiar intercourse with the One whose commands he loves to : obey. In the faithful discharge of duty we may become one with Christ, for : those who are obeying God's commands may speak to Him freely. The one who : talks most familiarly with his divine leader has the most exalted conception : of His greatness and is the most obedient to His commands. : : "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye : will, and it shall be done unto you. . . . Ye are my friends, if ye do : whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the : servant knoweth not what his lord doeth; but I have called you friends; for : all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you." . . . : : : The character of the one who comes to God in faith will bear witness : that the Saviour has entered into his life, directing all, pervading all. : Such a one is continually asking, "Is this Thy will and way, O my Saviour?" : Constantly he looks to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of his faith. He : consults the will of his divine Friend in reference to all his actions, for : he knows that in this confidence is his strength. He has made it a habit to : lift up the heart to God in every perplexity. . . . : : He who accepts God as his sovereign must take the oath of allegiance to : Him. He must put on the Christian uniform and bear aloft the banner that : shows to whose army he belongs. He must make an open avowal of his : allegiance to Christ. Concealment is impossible. Christ's impress must : appear in the life in sanctified works. : : "I am the Lord your God, which have separated you from other people. . : . . Ye shall be holy unto me; for I the Lord am holy, and have severed you : from other people, that ye should be mine" (Lev. 20:24-26).... "This people : have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise" (Isa. 43:21). : : >From That I May Know Him - Page 296 : : : : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
