 Our God, blessed be His name, "is a consuming fire "; He allows it not in us-thanks be to Him! It is our joy. He cannot allow it anywhere; "Holiness becomes his house forever." It is our portion; and what perfect delight and joy to our souls! Our portion forever! Hence what deep, deep consolation, that God knows everything in us! Then, on the knowledge of this, there is the activity of holiness spoken of here. (Mark 9 by J.N. Darby)
 It is said to them on the footing of His death which introduced all the principles of God's holiness. (Mark 9 by J.N. Darby)
