The Holiest of All By Andrew Murray

upon the Holy Spirit to reveal it, to witness to it, in our inner
life. He reveals it not to the mind, or as the reward of earthly
study, but to the poor in spirit and them that are of a lowly heart.
It is in the heart God sends forth the Spirit of His Son ;
the
heart that longs for and chooses and loves and waits for this life
of perfect fellowship with God more than its chief joy, shall have
it witnessed by God s Spirit that the no more offering for sin
is indeed the opening up of the Holiest of All. The Holy
Ghost who comes from heaven, bears witness of what is in
heaven. We can know nothing really of what takes place in
heaven but by the Holy Ghost in our heart. Dwelling in us He
gives in our inmost life the full witness to all the efficacy of
Christ s atonement and His enthronement in the presence of
God.
1. The one central truth to which the Holy Spirit testifies is this : that the old way of liuing
and serving God is now completely and for ever come to an end.
Death and the devil are brought to
nought ; the veil is rent ; sin is put away; the old covenant is disannulled, vanished away, taken
away.
A new system, a new way, a new and eternal life has been opened up in the power of Christ
Jesus. Oh to have our eyes and hearts opened to see that is not merely a thought, a truth for the
mind, but a spiritual state of existence which the Holy Ghost can bring us into.
2. The Holy Ghost beareth witness. For this He came down on the day of Pentecost out of
the heavenly sanctuary and from our exalted Priest-King, to bring down the heavenly life, the king
dom of heaven to the disciples, and make it real to them, as a thing found and felt in their hearts.
Each one of us needs and may claim the Holy Spirit in the same Pentecostal power, and the new,
the sternal, the heavenly life will fill us too.
