Status Updates From The Pure in Heart

Those who would not see God in His Word and ordinances shall not see Him in His glory.

magine what a blessed sight it will be to see Christ wearing the robe of our human nature, and to see that nature sitting in glory above the angels. If God is so beautiful here in His ordinances, Word, prayer, sacraments; if there is such excellency in Him when we see Him by the eye of faith through the telescope of a promise; O what will it be when we shall see Him “face to face”!

There is little comfort in being like God in other things besides purity. Are we like God in that we have a being? So have stones. Are we like Him in that we have motion? So have stars. Are we like Him in that we have life? So have trees and birds. Are we like Him in that we have knowledge? So have devils. There is no likeness to God, which will prove comfortable and blissful, but our being like Him in purity.

It would make Christ monstrous if the head should be pure and not the members.

"God is the origin and prototype of all holiness."
