SCRIPTURE

"Jehovah reigneth; he is clothed with majesty; Jehovah is clothed with strength; he hath girded himself therewith: The world also is established, that it cannot be moved. Thy throne is established of old: Thou art from everlasting. The floods have lifted up, O Jehovah, The floods have lifted up their voice; The floods lift up their waves. Above the voices of many waters, The mighty breakers of the sea, Jehovah on high is mighty. Thy testimonies are very sure: Holiness becometh thy house, O Jehovah, for evermore." — Psalms 93:1-5 (ASV)

The Lord might have displayed only his justice, holiness, and awe-inspiring power in his dealings with fallen humanity; but he has been pleased to display the riches of his mercy and the power of his renewing grace.

In this great work, the Father has given all power to his Son, the Lord from heaven, who has made atonement for our sins. He not only can pardon but also deliver and protect all who trust in him.

His word is given, and all the saints may rely upon it. Whatever was foretold concerning the kingdom of the Messiah must be fulfilled in due time.

All his people ought to be very strictly pure. God's church is his house; it is a holy house, cleansed from sin and employed in his service. Where there is purity, there will be peace. Let everyone carefully examine if this kingdom is set up in their hearts.
