16. ALWAYS

Seven things the believer in Christ is always to do:―

1. Jehovah is to be always the Object before the soul for salvation and strength. "I have set the Lord always before me" (Psa 16:8).

2. The garments of the life are always to be kept white by righteousness. "Let thy garments be always white" (Ecc 9:8).

3. The commandments of the Lord are always to be obeyed. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, and keep His charge, and His statutes, and His judgments, and His commandments, alway" (Deu 11:1).

4. Holiness to the Lord is to be the feature in the character. "Holiness to the Lord…always" (Exd 28:36-38).

5. Prayer is the oil that keeps the believer always running smoothly on the rails of truth. "Praying always" (Eph 6:18).

6. Joy is always the outcome of the recognition of the Lordship of Christ. "Rejoice in the Lord alway" (Phl 4:4).

7. The lamp of testimony will always burn brightly if fed by the oil of the Spirit. "Oil…to cause the lamp to burn always" (Exd 27:20).
