The Holiest of All By Andrew Murray

440 Gbe iboliest of ail
A worldly spirit in the Church or the Christian is a deadly
disease : it makes the life of faith impossible. Let us count it
our worst enemy, and live as foreigners, who seek the city
which is to come. Let us hear the voice calling us out to
Himself, to close fellowship, to obedience as of the angels in
And let
heaven, to be a testimony and a blessing for the world.
it be said of us too :
By faith he obeyed, and he went out, and
he sojourned in the land of promise, for he looked for a city.
1. See in Abraham how the whole life of faith is supernatural. His call, the promise of a
country, of a son, of a seed all is distinctly divine, above all sense and reason. It Is only when
the soul looks steadily at the really supernatural things Bod is to do for us and in us and through
us, that its faith will rest entirely on the power of Qod, and obey at any cost.
2. God will hold as personal intercourse with thee as with Abraham. God will be all to thee as
to him. Let thy life be supernatural ; perfect impotence under the operation of diuine omnipotence
Qod by His Spirit working out in thee His own life.
3. Be a sojourner in the land of promise in the life opened up to us by the promises of
God the life in the Holiest of All, through the Holy Spirit. Live in the promises.
4. He went out, not knowing whither he went. Christ Is not only Priest but Prophet,
Teacher, and Leader. Trust Him to bring thee within the veil, and to guide thee all through life in
the new and living way. It is a peace that passeth all understanding, a love that passeth know
ledge, a power that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we can think, that marks the
life offaith in the land of promise.
Let us go out, not knowing whither we go.
