EB 6:6{There should be three practical results of our salvation: (1) Holiness. We must see to it that we resolutely put away all that ought not to be in His royal abode. "Having, therefore, these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God." (2) Confidence. What does the citadel fear when an invincible general is within it? "The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; He will save." He is the wall of fire round about, and the glory in the midst of her; and he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of His eye. (3) Joy. Yes! "Be glad and rejoice with all the heart"; "sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.”
"Certainly I will be with thee!" Father, I have found it true:
To Thy faithfulness and mercy I would set my seal anew.
All the year Thy grace hath kept me. Thou my help indeed hast been,
Marvelous the lovingkindness every day and hour hath seen.
