The Great Transaction Is Done

A.B. Simpson 90 x115by A.B. Simpson

And he that sat upon the throne said, . . . It is done—Revelation 21:5-6

Great is the difference between action and transaction. We may be constantly acting without accomplishing anything, but a transaction is action that passes beyond the point of return and becomes a permanent committal.

Salvation is a transaction between the soul and Christ in which the matter passes beyond recall. Sanctification is a great transaction in which we are utterly surrendered, irrevocably consecrated and wholly committed to the Holy Spirit; then He comes and seals the transaction and undertakes the work. Our covenant for our Lord’s healing should be just as explicit, definite and irrevocable.

This should also be true of the covenants to which God is leading His children from time to time in regard to other matters of obedience and service. God grant that during this hallowed day many a consecrated life may be able to say with new significance and permanence, Tis done, the great transaction’s done."

Filling It With Love And Prayer And Purity

J.R. Miller 90x115by J.R. Miller

"A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies!" Proverbs 31:10

The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, filling it with love and prayer and purity–is doing something better than anything else her hands could find to do beneath the skies!

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised!" Proverbs 31:30
