The Holiest of All by Andrew Murray eBook & audio book

Holiest of All: Meditations on the Book of Hebrews "What teaching is needed to give health and vigor to the Christian life in order that, through all adverse circumstances, it may hold fast from the beginning, firm until the end? The teaching of the epistle of Hebrews is the divine answer to [this question]. In every possible way, it sets before us the truth that only the full and perfect knowledge of who Christ is and what He does for us can bring us to a full and perfect Christian life."

upon this God to do in us, that wc may live worthy <strong>of</strong> Him.<br />

He points to the work God has done for us, as the ground and<br />

pledge <strong>of</strong> what He will do in us. <strong>The</strong> Epistle has revealed to<br />

us God in Christ ; it seeks to send us out into life with the<br />

assurance that as wonderful and mighty and perfect as was the<br />

work <strong>of</strong> God in Christ for us, will be His work through Christ,<br />

<strong>by</strong> the Spirit, in us. Let each one who has listened to the call,<br />

Let us draw nigh, remember that he has been brought to God,<br />

that God may now reveal Christ in Him, and, as completely as<br />

and trust Him to perfect His work in us. <strong>The</strong> peace <strong>of</strong> God,<br />

which passeth all understanding, can now keep our hearts and<br />

minds <strong>by</strong> Christ Jesus. Peace, an end <strong>of</strong> all care and fear and<br />

separation, has been proclaimed ; the God <strong>of</strong> peace is now<br />

waiting to do His work in us.<br />

Who brought again from the dead the great Shepherd<br />

<strong>of</strong> the sheep, in the blood <strong>of</strong> the everlasting covenant.<br />
