   (Col. 1.28) As the second Adam, Christ came and wrought out a new nature for all the members of His body. This nature is His own life, perfected through suffering and obedience. In thus being perfected Himself, 'He perfected forever them that are sanctified.'(Heb. 10.14) His perfection, His perfect life, is ours. And that not only judicially, or by imputation, but as an actual spiritual reality, in virtue of our real and living union with Him.Paul says in the same Epistle, “You are...

  Second, if you want to understand this keeping, remember that it is not only an all-inclusive keeping, but it is an almighty keeping. I want to get that truth burned into my soul; I want to worship God until my whole heart is filled with the thought of His omnipotence. God is almighty, and the Almighty God offers Himself to work in my heart, to do the work of keeping me; and I want to get linked with Omnipotence, or rather, linked to the Omnipotent One, to the living God, and to have my place...

  The wisdom of the fathers...Some people think that they never can get so far as that every word of their mouth should be to the glory of God. But it is what God wants of them, it is what God expects of them. God is willing to set a watch at the door of their mouth, and if God will do that, cannot He keep their tongue and their lips? He can; and that is what God is going to do for them that trust Him. God’s keeping is all-inclusive, and let everyone who longs to live a holy life think out all...

  You will have as little as you are satisfied with . God gives to all men liberally, but it would be absurd to think that God’s liberality will make a man more godly than he wants to be. The man, for instance, who is satisfied to live a defeated life will never be forced to take victory. The man who is content to follow Christ afar off will never know the radiant wonder of His nearness. The man who is willing to set...tle for a joyless, barren life will never experience the joy of the Holy...

  You will get nothing unless you go after it. God will not force anything on you.You may have as much as you insist upon having. “Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you,” said God to Joshua, and this principle runs throughout the entire Bible. The history of Israel is dotted with stories of those who pressed boldly on to claim their possessions; such, for instance, as Caleb who, after the conquest of Canaan, went to Joshua, demanded the mountain...

  (Roman 6.11) continued...It so happens that the Bible never contradicts its own teachings; but I ask if it had? What if the Bible solemnly asserted -"No mere man, either of himself or by any grace received in this life, has ever kept or shall keep the commandments of God wholly, but does daily break them in thought, word, and deed?"To teach that such a expectation is dangerous is a great deal worse than no teaching at all. Far better to leave men to their own unaided reading of God's word, for...

  A Dangerous Error?

  The wisdom of the fathersA DANGEROUS ERROR?This text alone - 'Reckon yourselves to be dead to sin indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ' - most entirely justifies the expectation of living without sin through all-abounding grace. If there were no other passage bearing on this point, this alone is adequate, and for a Christian to offer this only as a reason for such a hope in Him is to offer as good a reason as need be given. There are indeed many others that fully justify...

  The thought that comes up at once, and that ever returns again, is this: But is it possible? And if so, how? Certainly not as a fruit of man’s efforts.But the words themselves contain the answer: “perfect as your Father is perfect.” It is because the little child has received his life from his father, and because the father watches over his training and development, that there can be such a striking and ever-increasing resemblance between him in his feebleness and his father in his...

  A young child may be the perfect image of his father. There may be a great difference in age, in stature, in power, and yet the resemblance may be so striking that every one notices it. And so a child of God, though infinitely less, may yet bear the image of the Father so markedly, may have such a striking likeness to his Father, that in his creaturely life he will be perfect, as the Father is in His Divine life.This is possible. It is what Jesus here commands. It is what each one should aim...

  The wisdom of the fathersHow perfectly chilling and horrible for persons to oppose the idea of expecting deliverance from sin and yet talk calmly of going on in sin all the rest of their earthly days!As an elder whom I knew rose in meeting and told the Lord he had been living in sin thus far and expected to go on in sin as long as he lived; he had sinned to-day and should doubtless sin to-morrow and so on--and yet he talked as calmly about it all as if it were foolish to make any ado, as well...

  Striving for Spiritual Peerfection

  If the cross of Jesus Christ means what it should to us and we know that we must carry it and die on it and then rise and live above it, we will have a constant desire to advance and gain spiritual ground. The nervous people who want to put on the brakes, who feel the necessity for restraint in matters of spiritual desire and yearning for perfection, oft use the expression, "Let's not get fanatical about this!I can only ask: Is it fanatical to want to go on until you can perfectly love God and...
