Okay, I trust you have your Bible
there in your lap. Psalm 45. I'm entitling this
study this evening, The King's Daughter. The King's Daughter.
You see that in verse 9. The king's daughters were among
the honorable, thy honorable women. Upon thy right hand did
stand the queen and the best gold, the gold of Ophir. Now in verses 1 through 8, we
have a glorious description of the conquering king. who is the
Lord Jesus Christ. It says in Revelation 6 that
He went forth conquering the conqueror. He is the mighty conqueror. He's never lost a battle. He's
won every victory, every engagement. He is absolutely victorious in
all things. He knows nothing of defeat. That's
what we see in verses 1 down through verse 9. And if you did
not hear that message, you I think it's posted on Sermon Audio,
I'm not sure, but most of the sermons that we bring here are
posted on Sermon Audio. Now in verses 9 down to verse
17, we see the description of his church, the description of
believers, known as his bride, the Lamb's wife, the bride, the
Lamb's wife. And what he has made them by
his grace, they belong to him, he chose them. They are his elect. They are his royal family. They
are bought with his precious blood. Paul said, you know more
your own, you're bought with a price. Therefore glorify God
in your body and in your spirit. They are redeemed with His precious
blood. They are bought with His blood
sacrifice. And they're conquered. They're
conquered people. You see the Lord Jesus Christ
has been enthroned in our heart. He's overtaken us, overpowered
us, and made us willing in the day of His power to bow unto
Him. Now in verses 9 down to verse
17 we see the fruit of His victory. You see in the gospel of the
Lord Jesus Christ we see that glorious work done for us. He
justified us with His own blood and also we see a glorious work
that the Lord is doing in the hearts of His people. For God
who has begun a good work in you, He will perform it, He will
perfect it in the day of His glory." Now he owns his church
and he calls them by several different names here, the king's
daughters, he calls them honorable women, he calls them the queen
in gold, the virgins, and the princess, all descriptive of
the Lord Jesus Christ's family, His bride, His chosen. What a
blessing to be a part of this royal family, be a son of God
by His grace, adopted into the family. Some of you know something
about adopting children. What a blessing it is to be adopted
because of love. into this royal family of the
Lord Jesus Christ, called out of darkness into His marvelous
light. Paul writing to the Colossians
put it this way, we give thanks unto God who had called us and
translated us out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom
of God's dear Son, the Son of His love. He did it. He chose
us. He called us. He made us under
our God kings and priests. And I like what one old dear
saint said years ago, the Lord Jesus Christ had done saved me.
He'll never hear the end of it. We'll worship Him for all eternity,
worthy as a lamb, unto Him who loved us and washed us from our
sin in His own blood. Now, with that introduction,
let's look at verse 9 again. Every believer, the king's daughters,
were among these honorable women. And upon the right hand did stand
the queen in the best gold, in the gold of Ophir. Now every
believer, by God's purpose and grace, have been adopted into
this spiritual family called sons of God or daughters. Believers
in Christ Jesus and it's by his sovereign mercy by his sovereign
grace. He made this determination It's
dependent upon him and it's accomplished by him all in him. We are chosen
believers are Children given to the Lord Jesus Christ in that
blessed covenant of grace our Lord referred to them often in
the gospel He said all that the father hath given to me they
will come to me and those that come to me I will in no wise
cast out. In the book of Hebrews, when
the Lord Jesus is describing those for whom He tasted death
for, in Hebrews 2.13, He talks about the children that God had
given me. He said, Behold, they're all
here. They're all here. I've not lost one of them. And
he won't. He's the Good Shepherd who goes
out and seeks the sheep. He's on the trail of the sheep.
And he'll run them down. He'll bring them all home to
glory and he will not lose one of those sheep. You see, he's
the Good Shepherd. who gave his life to secure their salvation. He's called the surety of the
everlasting covenant. What kind of shepherd would he
be, charged with the safety and security and salvation of God's
chosen covenant people, if he didn't save them all? Well, he
wouldn't be a good shepherd, would he? He'd be a failure of
a shepherd. But my friend, he secured their
salvation, accomplished their salvation, and he's going to
bring everyone home to glory. Listen to this scripture. It
says over in 1 Peter 3, 18, Christ has once suffered for our sin,
the just for the unjust, that he might bring us unto God. Now, he does the bringing, he
does the saving, he does the choosing, and then again in Hebrews
2, it talks about the captain of our salvation who is bringing
many sons unto glory. He won't lose one of them. He
said that in John 6. I'll raise them all up again
at the last day. Not one of them will be missing. The church here
is described not only as sons and daughters chosen and adopted
into his family by sovereign love, sovereign mercy. The church
is also described here as the Queen at his right hand. The church here partakes of his
honor, his happiness, and his holiness. The Queen in the gold
of Ophir. We are heirs of God and joint
heirs with the Lord Jesus Christ. We are exalted in Him. We are
seated in the heavenlies, it says in Ephesians chapter 2,
we're seated in the heavenlies in the Lord Jesus Christ. Already
in God's purpose and decree every believer is predestinated to
be conformed to the image of Christ. One old-timer said this,
I can't remember where I read this, but it stuck with me all
these years. He said what's true of the head
is true of the body. Speaking of the Lord Jesus Christ,
who is the head of the church, what's true of Him is true of
His body. And where His body is, where His head is, that's
where His body will be found in Him. You see, Christ is our
forerunner, it says in Hebrews 6. who is entered into the holy
place having obtained eternal redemption for us and we are
entered in in Him and seated in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus
in God's presence where the kings where excuse me where the Queen
in the gold of Ophir does sit upon the right hand upon the
right hand did stand rather the Queen in the gold of Ophir we
stand in Him "...and Him was all the fullness of a Godhead
bodily, and in Christ we are complete." He sets her, His bride,
His church, in a place of dignity, a place of honor, in His right
hand. Close her with the best of the
best. Close her and dex her out with
the finest jewels, the gold of Ophir. The Lord gives nothing
of secondary value, but only the best. Only the best. The
believer is divinely arrayed in the royal garments that the
Lord Jesus Christ has provided for us. We'll see more of this
in just a moment, but if you would find Isaiah 61.10, Isaiah
61.10, I like what the father said to
the prodigal, bring the best robe and put it on him. Slay
the fatted calf and let's rejoice. The Son has come home. Isaiah 61 10, I will greatly
rejoice in the Lord. My soul shall be joyful in my
God, for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation. He
hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom
decketh himself with ornament, and as a bride adorneth herself
with jewels. Oh, the Queen, she is gloriously
arrayed with all the blessings afforded us through Christ in
Him crucified. The believer is divinely arrayed
with his royal garments. We have, and he is made unto
us, the Lord our righteousness. But of him are you in Christ
Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification,
and redemption. Blessed is the man unto whom
the Lord imputeth righteousness, imputeth righteousness, you know
what that word means, reckoned to your account, given to you
freely by his grace, imputeth righteousness, this is a justifying
righteousness given of God in the gospel without works, without
your contribution, without any effort on your part, imputeth
righteousness. Happy and blessed are those who
are found in Christ Jesus. As the Apostle Paul said, O that
I may win Christ and be found in him, and count everything
else but lost and ruined and dumb. Happy and blessed are those
who are found in him. Unhappy are those that persecute
the bride of Christ, his church. For our righteous husband will
speedily avenge his own elect, which cry unto him day and night. I tell you what, you men who
love your wife, if you're out in public and someone started
abusing your wife and assaulting your wife, would you just stand
back and say, you know, it doesn't really matter? No, you would
step forward, wouldn't you? And you'd defend your wife and
your family at all costs. You're jealous of her safety. And the Lord Jesus Christ as
our husband, He is jealous of God's elect, and he will protect
them. He will never, no, never leave
them nor forsake them. And when you persecute the church,
when you persecute believers, you persecute the Lord himself.
Didn't the Lord Jesus tell the Apostle Paul that? Or when he
was Saul of Tarsus? You persecuted me. Now look at
verse 10. Hearken, O daughter, The Lord
has blessed us so. daughter and queen, honorable
women, hearken, O daughter, consider, incline thine ear, and forget,
forget also thine own people, and thy father's house. Every
precept or word spoken by our king is most worthy of our attention."
His word, his book, most worthy of our attention. He says three
things here. He says, hearken unto me. He
says, consider, Consider my word. Consider my truth. And then he
says as well, incline your ear. Just push up your chair a little
bit closer. Turn up that dial just a little
bit more. Cup your hand over your ear and
listen just a little bit more closely. Oh, I tell you, my friend,
Our whole being as believers should be eager, ready, and willing
to receive God's holy truth, to hear his word, to hear his
blessed truth. I like what the Apostle Paul
said of those believers there at Thessalonica. He said of them,
you are believers who receive the Word of God, not as the Word
of man, but as it is in truth the Word of God, which effectually
worketh in you that believe. And we receive this Word, God's
Word, inspired, God-given, not as the Word of Paul, although
we often say Paul said this, and Peter said that, and John
said that. But all Scripture is given by inspiration of God.
We receive it as such. We read it as such. We believe
it as such, and we rejoice in it, as it's given of God to reveal
Christ unto us. For we read in Scripture that
faith comes by hearing, hearing by the Word of God. James said,
Be swift to hear, O be swift to hear Him, and so to speak. Peter said, Desire the sincere
milk of the Word, that you might grow thereby. grow thereby, desire
that milk of the word." Now I like what the Lord said about His sheep. He said, My
sheep, they hear my voice, I know them, and they follow me, and
I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
No man can pluck them out of my Father's hand. Now the last
part of verse 10 is kind of an interesting thought here. Forget. He said forget. also thine own
people in thy father's house." Now, what's he saying here? Forget
also thine own people and thy father's house. I'm thinking
of the words of the Apostle Paul in Philippians 3 where he said,
forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth
unto those things which are before. Forget those religious experiences
of the past. Reaching forth and looking unto
him now. Now. Now forget also, he says, thine
own people. Now the Lord is not teaching
us as believers to sever all natural ties with our fleshly
family. I don't believe that's the thought
here. We're to honor our parents. We're to love our brothers. The
Apostle Paul After the Lord taught him the truth of the gospel,
in Romans 9, both in Romans 10, he prayed for his family so sincerely
that he said, I wish myself were cursed from Christ, for my brethren,
for my kinsmen according to flesh, my heart's desire, my prayer
to God for Israel. There's, oh Lord, that you might
save them. We pray for our family. We want
the best for them. We love them. God has given them
to us, and as believers, we should be prayerful of those who are
unbelievers. But here's what he's saying.
We do part company with those that are opposed to the gospel.
We do renounce this world's glitter for what it is, vanity. We do
part with folly for wisdom. We do part with soap bubbles
for eternal joy. We do part with our former religious
idolatry for the true and living God. We do part with any idea
that the flesh can merit God's favor or remove God's wrath. We do part with anything that's
contrary to the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and with glory
only in Him. There's over in Psalm 119. Let's turn over there for a moment.
Let's see if I can find it here. Psalm 119. I know I can find
that. But the verse here I'm thinking
of, I think it's verse 104. Yes, it is. It is 104. And also in verse 128, Psalm 119. Look at verse 104 carefully.
Through thy precepts, through his word, through his instruction,
I get understanding, therefore I hate every false way. I hate
that which is contrary to God's gospel, God's truth. Look over
here in verse 128, he says it again. I love, verse 27, therefore
I love thy commandments above gold, yea, above fine gold, therefore
I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right, therefore
I hate every false way." What's to be our attitude toward that
which is contrary to God's truth, God's gospel? It's not to be
tolerant of it, it's to condemn it for what it is. And the Apostle
had very strong words there in Galatians chapter 1, if we or
an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that
which we have preached, let him be... what's the word there?
Accursed. Let him be damned. If any man
love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema maranatha,
let him be accursed when the Lord comes. Now look at verse
11, so shall the king, Psalm 45 verse 11, so shall thy king,
so shall the king, now he's talking about the king of kings, so shall
the king greatly desire thy beauty. Wait a minute, thy beauty? For
he is thy Lord, worship thou him." The Lord Jesus Christ loves
and delights in his church. He sees beauty in her, the beauty
which he has graciously bestowed upon her. In the Song of Solomon,
there's a beautiful love story between Christ and the church.
I recently did a complete study, verse by verse, through the Song
of Solomon, and it's a very profitable study. He is altogether lovely. It describes the beauty and glory
of the Lord Jesus Christ and how the bride is taken up with
her love, the love of her heart. But also we see in that, the
Lord Jesus Christ is totally in love with his bride, with
his church. So much so, that through His
comeliness, through His beauty, He has made us all together lovely
in His sight. It says in the Song of Solomon,
chapter 4, verse 7, the Lord describing His church where He
said, Thou art all fair, my love, And then he says, there's no
spot in thee. There's no blemish in thee. Now,
he can't say that just as we stand in the flesh, but as we
are completely justified, completely sanctified, completely made righteous
in Christ Jesus, He has made us beautiful in His sight. So much so, look over here and
here's the truth of it, here in Ephesians chapter 5. Turn
over there. The husband, it says in Ephesians 5, the husband is
the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church.
He's the savior of the body, his body. Therefore, as the church
is subject unto Christ, Ephesians 5, 24, so let the husband be
their own, the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands
love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church and gave
himself for it, that he might sanctify and cleanse it with
the washing of water by the word, by the truth, by the gospel,
that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having
spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and
without blemish." So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty. Now look back at the text again,
Psalm 45. The king shall greatly desire,
oh he desires, he loves the church, he's blessed the church, he gave
himself for his covenant people, for he is thy Lord. Now who made
him our Lord? I know what they say in religious
circles, you come forward to make Jesus your Lord. You can't
do any such thing. That's impossible. God hath made
him both Lord and Christ. That's what Peter declared. That
same Jesus whom you crucified, God hath made him both Lord and
Christ. He is thy Lord. We don't make
him Lord as such. We bow to His Lordship, we own
Him as Lord, and we worship Him as Lord, for He is our Lord,
and because He is, He's Lord of our everything. He's Lord
of our salvation. He's Lord of our righteousness. Worship thou Him. Him. Him. Our Savior is our Sovereign. The Father seeketh such to worship
Him in spirit and in truth. Our Lord is our King. He's our
ruler. We delight in His reign of righteousness. We delight to bow unto Him, submit
unto Him. We delight in worshiping Him.
I trust that's why we're all here this evening. To worship
Him, to learn of Him. We delight to serve Him. We willingly
serve Him. We willingly bow to Him. And
leaving all others, you see, He's our husband, He's our head.
Leaving all others, cleaving unto Him alone, till death do
us part. And then we shall be with the
Lord forever. But in this life, the saints
of God, they do persevere in the faith. Because they're preserved
by the power of God. Now look closely at verse 12.
the daughter of Tyre, the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a
gift with offerings, support, even the rich among the people
shall entreat thy favor." God has a people among Jew and Gentile
in all places. The daughter of Tyre here says
she'll be there with a gift Repeating myself, the Lord has elect among
the heathen Gentile nations that shall be called out, and they
will by His grace give themselves unto the Lord, and they will
give themselves and serve the Lord, and they will stand fast
in the gospel, and they will stand fast and contend for the
faith that was once delivered unto the saints, made nigh by
the blood of Christ. Examples, we read a moment ago,
the woman of Canaan. She came unto the Lord Jesus
Christ seeking mercy. It is wise to seek mercy where
it's found, in Christ Jesus. The Lord Jesus Christ, it's recorded
in John chapter 4, that He must needs go through Samaria. Why? The Jews don't normally
go through Samaria, they go around it. But the Lord Jesus Christ
went right through Samaria. Why did He do that? One of his
elect there, the woman at the well was there. God had from
eternity made this appointment and caused her to believe the
gospel, crossed her path and made her a vessel of mercy. The woman at the well in Samaria,
the Lord called her out. And then we see the story of
Lydia, three women, three women. the woman of Canaan, the woman
at the well in Samaria, and Lydia, the city of Thyatira. Paul went down there where the
women one day were seeking a place to worship, and he went down
there and preached the gospel to them, and the Lord opened
her heart. The church there at Philippi
had a small beginning. A businesswoman named Lydia and
a jailer of the city when Paul was put in jail. God granted
him faith and salvation. You see, his grace is able even
to conquer them that are, it says here, the rich among the
people. Riches are no obstacle to grace. Neither is sin and hindrance
to God's favor and God's grace. His grace is able to conquer
them that are rich and wealthy, and God is able to conquer those
who are in poverty. Does not matter. But when God
does conquer those who are wealthy and made rich, They are rich,
so naturally speaking, by God's purpose and grace. But when he
is pleased to conquer that rich man, the rich man is taught of
God that his hope is not in his riches, but in God's grace and
God makes him a generous giver a generous supporter of the gospel
makes him to know that we are rich eternally spiritually in
the Lord Jesus for he said for you know the grace of the Lord
Jesus Christ that though he was rich yet for your sake he became
poor that you through his poverty might be made rich Notice verse 13 in our text.
And the king's daughter is all glorious within. All glorious
within. Her clothing is wrought of gold. The true beauty of every believer
is not an outward righteousness, but rather an inward beauty. An inward beauty. You know, those
Pharisees of old, they thought They had a righteousness, but
all their righteousness was a put on, it was a pasted on. They
prayed long prayers to be seen of men. They were, they thought,
righteous outwardly, but our Lord said you're full of, you're
like a whited sepulcher, you're full of dead men's bones. The
true beauty of every believer is not an outward righteousness,
it's not something we do or don't do, but rather an inward beauty. You remember what the Lord told
Samuel when he went down to Jesse's house to anoint a king? He said,
look not on his countenance, nor on the height of his stature,
talking about the sons of Jesse, because I've refused him, that
is the oldest Eliab, I think his name was, for the Lord seeth
not as man seeth, for man looketh on the outward appearance, but
the Lord looks on the heart. You know, every believer, it
says of David that he was a man after God's own heart. He was
a man after God's own heart. You know, every believer is a
man after God's own heart. If any man be in Christ, he is
a new creature. Old things are passed away and
behold, all things have become new. All, it says there in the text,
the daughter, the king's daughter, talking about the sons of God,
talking about believers in Christ, all glorious within. Now how
can God say that of us? Here's how. Christ in you is
a hope of glory. That's the only reason. There's
no beauty in us. There's no righteousness in this
flesh. This flesh is described as what
Paul said, in my flesh dwelleth, well, you know, maybe some good
things. No, in my flesh dwelleth no good things. All of our righteousnesses,
that's plural, righteousnesses, are as filthy rags in God's sight. Man in his best state is altogether
a zero, vanity, individually or collectively. The nations
before him as are a drop of a bucket, it says in Isaiah. But Christ in you is a hope of
glory. Only the best is reserved for
every believer. The best that the Lord has, the
best that He has, He gives freely. He that spared not His own Son.
Now you listen to Scripture. He's blessed with all spiritual
blessings in heaven and He's in Christ. He that spared not
His own Son but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not
with Him also freely give us? Well, most things we need. No,
all things. all things. You see, we are His
workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works. How carefully and painfully did
our Lord work out a blessed righteousness for us. He honored every precept
of God's law, died under the penalty of that law, working
out for us, God's church, a perfect redemption and a perfect righteousness,
and then He clothes us with that robe of righteousness, and He
sovereignly puts it on us by His grace. He says, You're mine! I chose you! I bought you! I'm
going to bring you to myself, and I'm going to love you forever. The king's daughter is all glorious
within. Her clothing is wrought of gold. the best that God had. Now you
think about this. God so loved the world. Now that
doesn't mean universal love. God so loved the world of His
elect that He gave the best He had. He gave Himself. One old writer said He gave His
other self, the Son of God. God the Son. He gave His best. Her clothing now is wrought of
gold rod of gold. Now verse 14, she shall be brought. She shall be brought. She shall
be brought because she was bought. She shall be brought unto the
king in raiment of needlework. Some of
you ladies know about the the detail and the planning and the
stitching of that needlework. It just doesn't happen. You planned
it. You sewed it. You stitched it.
And God Almighty has purposed and planned our salvation from
all eternity. She shall be brought unto the
king in the raiment of needlework, the clothing of salvation, the
garments of salvation that he has provided, the virgin and
her companions. that follow her shall be brought
unto thee with gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought and they
shall enter into the king's palace oh a special place a special
place she shall be brought unto the king in a finest array in
this raiment of needlework the virgins or the servants of the
Lord true servants of the church shall be brought and shall enjoy
this eternal unbroken fellowship and union with Christ throughout
eternity. And notice carefully how many
times it says there, she shall be brought. She shall be brought. Now, you remember what the Lord
said in John 6? No man can come to me except the Father which
sent me. Draw him. He brings us unto himself by
his power and by his grace. And notice, she's brought, she's
brought unto the King. For he is salvation. He is salvation. Salvation, my friend, is in a
person, the Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation is not being brought
to a church covenant. Salvation is not being brought
to the front of the church and making a decision for Jesus.
That's not salvation. Salvation is not joining up. Salvation is not you coming forward
and making a decision. Salvation is not in a baptismal
pool. Salvation, my friend, is being
brought by the power and purpose of God, His grace, unto the King. the Lord Jesus Christ. He brings
us unto himself. You see what it says there? She
shall be brought unto the king, dressed in his garments, the
raiment of needleworks. And all the virgins, her companions
that follow her, and again that's speaking of believers, shall
be brought unto thee. And they come with joy and gladness.
They don't come kicking and screaming. They come with joy and gladness. rejoicing they shall be brought
and they shall enter into the king's palace brought by his
grace they shall enter into eternal joy oh what joy in being brought
unto the Lord Jesus Christ turn over here to Psalm 65 thy people shall be willing in
a day of God's power Psalm 65 Blessed is the man whom thou
choose us, Psalm 65 verse 4, and cause us to approach unto
thee that he may dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied
with the goodness of thy house, even thy holy temple. They shall
be brought. Think of this. Think of this. They shall abide with him forever,
for they shall enter into the king's palace, the king's house,
the king's dominion. Reminded of the words of the
apostle Of course, given of God, 1 Thessalonians, when he talks
about the Lord coming back, "...the Lord himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, with the
trump of God, the dead in Christ shall rise first, and we which
are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them
in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever
be with the Lord." And it says, "...wherefore comfort one another
with these words." That's a comforting thought, isn't it? To be with
the Lord. Oh, with gladness and rejoicing
we shall be brought, and we shall enter in to the king's palace.
Verse 16, And that thy father shall be thy children, whom thou
mayest make princes in all the earth. Now I looked at that statement
a long time over the years. and that of thy father shall
be thy children." I think I got some help here from someone,
I don't know who this was, but they said this, one old writer
said this, the ancient saints who stood as fathers in the service
of the great king have all passed away. They're with the Lord now,
Abraham, David, Moses, the apostles, the reformers. But the spiritual
seed is found to fill their places. God has an elect. The veterans
depart, but the volunteers fill up the vacant places. If there's
a father, shall be the children. The line of grace never becomes
extinct as long as time shall last. True believers will be
found among the nations where God has never left himself without
a witness. He makes sinners, the last part
of that phrase there, verse 16, whom thou mayest make princes
in all the earth. He makes sinners and he takes
sinners and he makes them into kings and priests unto our God. Now, let me see if I can make
good on that. Find Revelation chapter 1. Revelation
chapter 1. Revelation chapter 1 says in
verse 5 that Jesus Christ, who is a faithful witness, he's the
first begotten of the dead, the prince of the kings of the earth,
unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sin in his own blood,
and hath made us kings and priests unto our God and his Father,
to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. And then it says in verse 7,
you know the Lord is on his way, he's coming back and he's on
his way, look what it says in verse 7, behold he cometh, he
cometh, that means he's on his way, The Lord is coming back. He has made us kings and priests
unto our God and we shall reign with Him forever and ever. In
closing, verse 17, God said, I'll make thy name. No name under
heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. Every knee
will bow. God has given him a name which
is above every name that at that name every knee will bow. Every
tongue will confess that he is Lord to the glory of God the
Father. I'll make thy name to be remembered in all generations.
You cannot stamp out the gospel of God's grace. You cannot do
it. Down through the centuries they
tried to burn believers. And they did, they burned them
to the stake, but they did not recant, they died believing. These all died in faith. I'll
make thy name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore
shall the people praise thee. The Lord Jesus Christ shall have
all the eternal honor and glory forever and ever. The glory and
majesty of the Lord is not left to human guardianship. The eternal
God guarantees His honor and glory. One hymn writer said,
Let Him be crowned with majesty, who bowed His head in death,
and be His honor sounded high by all things that have breath.
Let us show forth the praises unto Him who called us out of
darkness unto His marvelous light. Okay.
