The Lord's portion is his people.
Ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.-I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me. -I am his.-The Son of God...loved me, and gave himself for me.
Ye are not your own, ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.-the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.
Ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.--Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.-A spiritual house, an holy priesthood.
They shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels.-All mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.-the glory of his inheritance in the saints. -Morning and Evening 20 Jan |
