Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Morning Devotional For Thursday October 10, 2019 |
Morning Time: 3:10 AM PST
"Faultless before the presence of His glory." --Jude 24
Revolve in your mind that wondrous word, faultless!" We are far off
from it now; but as our Lord never stops short of perfection in His work of
love, we shall reach it one day. The Saviour who will keep His people to the
end, will also present them at last to Himself, as "a glorious church, not
having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but holy and without blemish." All
the jewels in the Saviour's crown are of the first water and without a single
flaw. All the maids of honour who attend the Lamb's wife are pure virgins
without spot or stain. But how will Jesus make us faultless? He will wash us
from our sins in His own blood until we are white and fair as God's purest
angel; and we shall be clothed in His righteousness, that righteousness which
makes the saint who wears it positively faultless; yea, perfect in the sight of
God. We shall be unblameable and unreproveable even in His eyes. His law will
not only have no charge against us, but it will be magnified in us. Moreover,
the work of the Holy Spirit within us will be altogether complete. He will make
us so perfectly holy, that we shall have no lingering tendency to sin. Judgment,
memory, will--every power and passion shall be emancipated from the thraldom of
evil. We shall be holy even as God is holy, and in His presence we shall dwell
for ever. Saints will not be out of place in heaven, their beauty will be as
great as that of the place prepared for them. Oh the rapture of that hour when
the everlasting doors shall be lifted up, and we, being made meet for the
inheritance, shall dwell with the saints in light. Sin gone, Satan shut out,
temptation past for ever, and ourselves "faultless" before God, this will be
heaven indeed! Let us be joyful now as we rehearse the song of eternal praise so
soon to roll forth in full chorus from all the blood-washed host; let us copy
David's exultings before the ark as a prelude to our ecstasies before the
throne.
