Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sermon, Preached at the Funeral of Mrs. Naomi F. Harlow, Wife of Rev. William Harlow, Who Died at North-Wrentham, October 5th, 1823, in the Thirty-Fourth Year of Her Age Psalm, xvii. 15. - I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. This was the language of David, a man after God´s own heart. He was one who loved holiness for its own sake. He lived a devotional life, and found free and sweet access to the mercy seat. He delighted in the law of God, and walked in the way of his commandments. But though he was a devout servant of God, and lived very near to Him by prayer and supplication; yet he found that his feet were apt to slide into sin, and wander in forbidden paths. When he viewed his transgressions against the greatest and best of Beings, his heart would smite him with keen remorse, and he would confess his sin with deep contrition. He was also exceedingly tried with many severe and heavy afflictions. His enemies were combined against him in formidable array, and ready to swallow him up. - But, notwithstanding his transgressions were exceedingly great and numerous and vexed his soul from day to day; notwithstanding all the persecution and evil devices of his enemies; notwithstanding all the changes, storms and trials of this fleeting life; he still encouraged himself in the Lord, and rejoiced in the hope, that his soul would soon find eternal rest in the bosom of his God. After uttering a very fervent and plain prayer against his enemies, he said unto God, "As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy likeness." To awake with the likeness of God, is to be completely transformed into his moral ℑ and denotes that state of perfection in holiness, at which the saints will arrive when they enter into their eternal rest.
