But we all with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image, from glory to glory. 2 Corinthians 3:18. Therefore, let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:5. For he has left us an example, that we should follow his steps. 1 Peter 2:21.
If, before we say or do any thing, we would but always consider whether it was agreeable to the pattern of Christ, a multitude of sins would not be committed.
O Lord, however miserable I am, when I humble myself before thee with a filial confidence, looking upon myself as united to thee, and as the vilest of sinners; depending only upon thy free grace, I enjoy peace. Grant, therefore, O my God, that this beholding of thee, may be my constant exercise, and that by this means I may be strengthened cheerfully to follow thy pattern daily, to be changed more and more into the glorious image of thy love, patience, and humility, and thus to be truly prepared for eternal life.
My dear Redeemer, and my Lord!
I read my duty in thy word:
But in thy life the law appears,
Drawn out in living characters.
Such was thy truth and such thy zeal,
Such defrence to thy Father’s will,
Such love and meekness so divine,
I would transcribe, and make them mine.
Be thou my pattern, make me bear
More of thy gracious image here;
Then God the judge shall own my name.
Among the followers of the Lamb.
