(J.R.
Miller, "The Shining Light"
1911)
"Yes, He is altogether lovely! This is my
Beloved, and this is my Friend!" Song of Songs 5:16
Every Christian life is beautiful--so far as it fairly and truly
represents Christ. Anything in a believer's life which is not
beautiful--is not a just or adequate expression of our precious
Lord Jesus. Holiness of character is simply the
reproduction of the likeness of Christ in our life. Any feature
that is not lovely and winning is not truly Christlike,
and misrepresents Christ. It is not the Christian religion itself
that is unlovely in any case--but the
human interpretation of it in disposition and
conduct.
"He who says he abides in Him, ought himself also to
walk just as He walked." 1 John 2:6
