The Acts of the Apostles
mountains before you; but if you humble your heart and confess your
sins, trusting in the merits of a crucified and risen Saviour, He will
forgive and will cleanse you from all unrighteousness. God demands
of you entire conformity to His law. This law is the echo of His voice
saying to you, Holier, yes, holier still. Desire the fullness of the grace
of Christ. Let your heart be filled with an intense longing for His
righteousness, the work of which God’s word declares is peace, and
its effect quietness and assurance forever.
[567]
As your soul yearns after God, you will find more and still more of
the unsearchable riches of His grace. As you contemplate these riches
you will come into possession of them and will reveal the merits of the
Saviour’s sacrifice, the protection of His righteousness, the fullness of
His wisdom, and His power to present you before the Father “without
spot, and blameless.”
2 Peter 3:14
