Chapter 11
A People Prepared For The Lord
BEINGū destitute of all true riches and good things by nature, our benevolent Creator has offered us "glory, honour, incorruptibility, and eternal life," with an "inheritance which is incorruptible, undefiled, and that shall never fade away" He invites us in the Gospel to become heirs of these things; and, by our future conduet, to prove ourselves worthy to possess them. Would you not be arrayed in splendour which will excel the glory of the Sun? Would you not be exalted to the dignity of associate kings with the glorious monarch of the Future Age? Would you not be invested with an incorruptible life, that you may eternally enjoy "the inheritance in the light" which is to be revealed at the appearing of the "bright and morning star"? Let, then, the dispositions of the ancient Christians be revived in us, their descendants; and let us forsake our disobedience, and return to the wisdom of just persons; and thus the Truth will make of us "a people prepared for the Lord."
J. Thomas
