"This people have I formed for Myself; they shall shew forth My praise." Isaiah 43:21
"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." 1 Peter 2:9
"It pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by His grace, to reveal His Son in me." Galatians 1:15-16
Preface
The hymn of consecration, by T, 0, Chisholm, has long been the prayer of the believer who has yearned to come into a vital union with Christ,
"Oh, to be like Thee! blessed Redeemer,
This is my constant longing and prayer,
Gladly I'll forfeit all of earth's treasures,
Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.
Oh, to be like Thee! Oh, to be like thee!
Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art!
Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fulness;
Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart."The Word of God is clear, He is processing a people for this very purpose, that they might bear His image, partake of His divine nature, express His character, and be a living witness of His redemption. It is a relationship, a fulfillment of the prayer of Him who prayed: "I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one,' and that the world may know that Thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me." [John 17-23]. Apart from the personal blessing enjoyed by the believer, there is a two-fold purpose to be fulfilled. To honour and glorify our Lord, and then, "that the world may know..." For it is to be a living manifestation before the world, a revelation of His life, His love, His joy, His peace, etc, expressed through a people who are truly one in Him, made perfect in Him. We dedicate this book to all those who hold the vision of this union with Him, and who, by His grace shall follow on until it becomes a reality within them.
NOT TO BE SOLD ─ this book is given free, as a ministry of love. That which is contained therein cannot be valued in terms of material goods. If there be any thoughts expressed that seem to be the result of only natural thinking, we trust that a little breath of kindness will blow the chaff away, that the kernel of truth might remain to bless.
