[Songs in the Night - June 29]
Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the Lord your God.
And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the Lord which sanctify you. Leviticus 20:7, 8
THIS means, set yourselves apart to God, and he
will set you apart.
We have a part in this work, and
God has a part.
If we make a full consecration, God
will consecrate us; he will accept us and set us apart
for himself.
He gives us the indication of this acceptance
in the begetting of his Holy Spirit.
Such soon
begin to realize that they have a new mind, a new
disposition, a new heart.
It is of this class that the
Apostle Paul speaks in the text, "This is the will of
God" concerning you, "even your sanctification"—you
who have consecrated yourselves to him and whom
he has accepted and consecrated, has set apart for his
service. Z'16-100 R5877:3 (Hymn 208)
