Holiness Fits The Saint

Holiness fits the saint,

Who has been justified by God’s righteousness through Jesus’ death and resurrection.

It cost Christ Jesus His precious life,

Telling God’s truth slant:

Father God aggrieves over His children’s wandering in darkness of sin.

Without making them holy, He can never embrace them again.

For at the moment He touches them, they will be consumed by His Justice like wood is burned down by fire.

Not terrifying the audience but just truly reporting about the spiritual reality,

Jesus, the Son of God, eagerly points the sinners to perceive the True God,

Is not only the fearful LORD but also the loving Heavenly Dad.

Not is Jesus, the Master, lacking wisdom,

But His disciple’s sin-warped mind needs time to be transformed.

So, Jesus, the Bridegroom, has been patiently waiting,

For His beloved bride to willfully put off his/her old flesh gloomy rags, and dress up with the new spiritual resplendent robe,

Tailored for him/her by His nail-pierced hands on the cross,

Where He also tore down all the accusation slips by the law and the devil.

Since then, the saint records what Jesus has been teaching him/her,

Tracing back to see how far He has directed him/her–

Through the valley of doubt and depression,

Along with His peace and compassion,

The saint finally arrives to sit beside the Fountain of life,

Drinking from the living water of delight,

Humbly building an inner altar to worship God alone,

Then the King Jesus gladly comes in to sit enthroned,

Leading the saint to enter the Holy of Holies through His blood.

Holiness fits the righteous saint,

Who sees Father God’s dazzle of integrity face to face,

partaking His glorious divinity day by day.
