Do you walk in white?

Buried with Him…that…even so we also should walk in newness of life,” – Romans 6:4

No one enters into the experience of entire sanctification without going through a “white funeral” – the burial of the old life. If there has never been this crises of death, sanctifica­tion is nothing more than a vision.

There must be a “white funeral,” a death that has only one resurrection – a resurrection into the life of Jesus Christ. Nothing can upset such a life, it is one with God for one purpose, to be a witness to Him.

Have you come to your last days really? You have come to them often in sentiment, but you have come to them really? You cannot go your fu­neral in excitement, or die in excite­ment.

Death means you stop being. Do you agree with God that you should stop being the striving, earnest kind of Christian you have been?

We skirt the cemetery and all the time refuse to go to death. It is not striving to go to death; it is dying— ”baptized into His death.

Have you had your “white funer­al,” or are you sacredly playing the fool with your soul? Is there a place in your life marked as the last day, a place to which the memory goes back with a chastened and extraordinary grateful remembrance – “Yes, it was then, at that ‘white funeral,’ that I made an agreement with God.”

“This is the will of God, even your sanctification.” When you realise what the will of God is, you will enter into sanctification as naturally as can be. Are you willing to go through that “white funeral” now? Do you agree with Him that this is your last day on earth? The moment of agreement depends upon you.

HIS RESURRECTION

“Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into His glory?” Luke 24:26

Our Lord’s cross is the gateway into His life; His Resurrection means that He has power now to convey His life to me.

When I am born from above, I receive from the Risen Lord His very life.

Our Lord’s Resurrection destiny is to bring “many sons unto glory.”

The fulfilling of His destiny give Him the right to make us sons and daughters of god.

We are never in the rela­tionship of god that the Son of God is in; but we are brought by the Son into the relation of sonship.

When Our Lord rose from the dead, He rose to an abso­lutely new life, to a life He did not live before He was incar­nate. He rose to a life that had never been before; and His Resurrection means for us that we are raised to His risen life, and not to our old life.

One day we shall have a body like unto His glorious body, but we can know now the efficiency of His resur­rection and walk of newness of life.

“I would know Him in the Power of His Resurrection.

“As thou has given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as Thou has given Him.” “Holy Spirit” is the experimen­tal name for Eternal Life working in human beings here and now.

The Holy Spirit is the Deity in proceeding power who applies the Atonement to our experience. Thank God it is glorious and majestically true that the Holy Ghost can work in us the very nature of Jesus if we will obey Him.

TO PONDER:

Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildo­ers. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way. For they cannot rest until they do evil; they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble. They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. – Proverbs 4:14-17

Stay blessed!
