IN that triumphant ninety-ninth psalm the Spirit sings, "Exalt ye Jehovah our God, and worship at His footstool: holy is He." Verse 5. And again, "Exalt ye Jehovah our God, and worship at His holy hill; for Jehovah our God is holy." The exaltation of God is a great and glorious duty, always incumbent on His people; a great and glorious privilege, which loving affection may ever prompt; yet one which has at times been regarded by His church as neither a duty nor a privilege. Man has come in between the church and her Lord. Human standards occupy the place of the law of God. Human philosophy perverts and befogs and sets aside and nullifies the Gospel of God in human hearts. And most emphatically is that true to-day, not simply in the world where it always has been, but in the church of Jesus Christ, which He purchased with His own blood. For "the everlasting Gospel" is "the Gospel of God. . . . Concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead." Rom. 1:1-4. Again, in this same chapter, the apostle declares that the Gospel "is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; . . . for therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith." But the mighty power of God is creative power, that which distinguishes Him from all other pretended saviours and false gods. For "Jehovah is the true God, He is the living God, and an everlasting King. . . . The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens. He [Jehovah] hath made the earth by His power, He hath established the world by His wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by His discretion." Jer. 10:10-12. And the great Jehovah hath wrought all these by the eternal Son, as it is written: "Giving thanks unto the Father, who made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love; in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins; who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; for in Him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through Him, and unto Him; and He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church; who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the pre-eminence." Col. 1:12-18. But all this mighty array of truth has been well-nigh nullified by unbelief, by vain, speculative philosophy, by science falsely so-called, by the denial of a personal God, by making every man his own saviour. Geology and evolution, based on scientific hypotheses and guesses, have set aside in the minds of thousands the record of God's creation in Genesis and the Biblical origin of man. The power of God in creation and miracle has been utterly repudiated. Christ, the divine-human Saviour in the true sense, in the Bible sense, has been set aside, crucified again not only between thieves, but among thieves and by thieves, who have stolen the terminology of the Gospel to clothe and make respectable the ancient falsehoods of paganism. And in the face of this fog of delusion and confusion the church and the world stand hopeless and despairing or deluded and lost, following the siren voices of "Christian Science," "New Thought," "Theosophy" or reverting to the traditions of Roman Catholicism. Because of this,—and much more might be said,—God in His providence is sending out from His sanctuary on high His last warning message of "the everlasting Good Tidings" to every people, nation, tongue, and kingdom, saying, "Fear God, and give Him glory; for the hour of His judgment is come; and worship Him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters." Rev. 14:6, 7. "Fear God." The "living God" still lives, while His universe stretches out around Him. He has wrought creation and redemption through His Son, Jesus Christ. He gives that power as He gave it of old in the Gospel, to all who believe, and only the believer can possess it unto salvation. Jehovah is God, and "there is none else." He who turns from Him, turns from all. He who turns from the Creator turns from the Redeemer. He who turns from God's plan of righteousness by faith turns from all righteousness, all life, all persistence, and continuance of being, and sets his feet in the way of death. Turn to God; fear Him, give Him glory. "Exalt ye Jehovah our God, and worship at His holy hill; for Jehovah our God is holy."
