“Faultless before the presence of his glory.”
— Jude 24

Revolve in your mind that wondrous word, “faultless!” We are far off
from it now; but as our Lord never stops short of perfection in his
work of love, we shall reach it one day. The Saviour who will keep his
people to the end, will also present them at last to himself, as “a
glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but
holy and without blemish.” All the jewels in the Saviour’s crown are of
the first water and without a single flaw. All the maids of honour who
attend the Lamb’s wife are pure virgins without spot or stain. But how
will Jesus make us faultless? He will wash us from our sins in his own
blood until we are white and fair as God’s purest angel; and we shall
be clothed in his righteousness, that righteousness which makes the
saint who wears it positively faultless; yea, perfect in the sight of
God. We shall be unblameable and unreproveable even in his eyes. His
law will not only have no charge against us, but it will be magnified
in us. Moreover, the work of the Holy Spirit within us will be
altogether complete. He will make us so perfectly holy, that we shall
have no lingering tendency to sin. Judgment, memory, will-every power
and passion shall be emancipated from the thraldom of evil. We shall be
holy even as God is holy, and in his presence we shall dwell for ever.
Saints will not be out of place in heaven, their beauty will be as
great as that of the place prepared for them. Oh the rapture of that
hour when the everlasting doors shall be lifted up, and we, being made
meet for the inheritance, shall dwell with the saints in light. Sin
gone, Satan shut out, temptation past for ever, and ourselves
“faultless” before God, this will be heaven indeed! Let us be joyful
now as we rehearse the song of eternal praise so soon to roll forth in
full chorus from all the blood-washed host; let us copy David’s
exultings before the ark as a prelude to our ecstasies before the
throne.

On this day...
