Close Fellowship

"And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his
brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know Me, from the least of
them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD" (Jeremiah 31:34).

Truly, whatever else we do not know, we know the LORD. This day is this promise
true in our experience, and it is not a little one. The least believer among us
knows God in Christ Jesus. Not as fully as we desire; but yet truly and really
we know the LORD. We not only know doctrines about Him, but we know Him. (cf
XR's on knowing God) He is our Father and our Friend. We are acquainted with
Him personally. We can say, "My LORD, and my God." We are on terms of close
fellowship with God, and many a happy season do we spend in His holy company.
We are no more strangers to our God, but the secret of the LORD is with us.
This is more than nature could have taught us. Flesh and blood has not revealed
God to us. Christ Jesus had made known the Father to our hearts. If, then, the
LORD has made us know Himself, is not this the fountain of all saving
knowledge? To know God is eternal life. So soon as we come to acquaintance with
God we have the evidence of being quickened into newness of life. O my soul,
rejoice in this knowledge, and bless thy God all this day! (see "Covenant")

"And ye are Christ's." 1 Cor. 3. 23; Rom. 14. 8

1 Sinners who on Jesus rest,
Must eternally be blest;
All Jehovah's love can give,
They from Jesus shall receive.

2 Loved of God, to Jesus given,
In the purposes of heaven;
They are bought with blood divine,
And they must in glory shine.

3 They are Jesus' flesh and bone,
Nor from him shall e'er be torn;
Can a part be sent to hell,
And the whole in Zion dwell?

4 No! we bless the Lord on high,
Not a single joint can die;
Every member lives in him;
He's the life of every limb.

5 They are Christ's by ties divine; Here his brightest glories shine;
All creation must give place
To the subjects of his grace.

6 Matchless Jesus! may we be
Wholly taken up with thee!
And, in every deep distress,
Lean upon thy truth and grace.
