All of his glorious attributes
and perfections are yours. William Nicholson. Pearls of
great price. It is the privilege of Christians
to say, For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be
our guide even to the end. Psalm 48 verse 14. The believer
is also called an heir of God, which implies that he is entitled,
through grace, to all that the Infinite Jehovah possesses, so
far as shall be needful to make him completely and eternally
happy. Christians, rejoice that God Himself is yours. All of
His glorious attributes and perfections are yours. His mercy is yours. To save you. To remove your guilt. To sympathize with you in times
of distress. His wisdom is yours. To provide
for you. To counsel you. To direct all
things for your good. His omnipotence is yours. To
guard and protect you in the hour of danger. To support you
in every conflicting scene. To preserve you unto His heavenly
kingdom. His goodness is yours. To supply
all your needs. To enrich you with the best of
blessings. To grant you unfading happiness in the mansions of
glory. His Omniscience is yours. To behold you in every situation,
adverse or prosperous. To foresee all the attacks your
adversaries intend to make upon you. To provide for your present
and everlasting security. His Omnipresence is yours, therefore
he has said. In six troubles I will be with
you, and in seven I will not forsake you. I will never leave
you nor forsake you. Lo! I am with you always, even
to the end of the world. His justice is yours. To fulfill
all covenant engagements. To reward you with a dwelling
place in the realms of bliss. To punish all those hostile powers
incessantly opposing you. His immutability is the rock
of your security, and the source of your unspeakable joy. His
faithfulness is yours, as the pledge for the accomplishment
of all those promises which are exceeding great and precious
to those who believe. Such, Christians, is your happiness. Rejoice in it, and say, The Lord
is my portion, therefore I will hope in Him. How great is the
condescension of God, in becoming the eternal portion of such worthless
worms!
