Keeping The Commandments

God's Word is pure. Heaven itself and the great white throne is no more pure, than the Word of God. Our life may be pure, it must be in sweet harmony with the blessed Bible. A life that is lived in obedience to the Bible — is as pure as the Bible. Such a life is pure enough for Heaven. The writer of Revelation, being in the Spirit, saw "a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb." This pure stream was the wonderful Word of life. It was as pure as its source, which was the throne of God. The life through which this pure stream flows — will be as pure as the throne.

One of the Psalm-writers said, "The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times." "Your word is very pure; therefore your servant loves it." The writer of Proverbs says, "Every word of God is pure." When the veil is drawn aside and our souls are brought face to face with the purity of the Bible — then we understand that a Bible life — is the best, purest, noblest, and holiest life that can be lived upon the earth.
