"He Who Says He Abides In HIM, Ought Himself Also To Walk Just As HE Walked."

The human interpretation

(J.R. Miller, "The Shining Light" 1911)

"Yes, HE is altogether lovely!
This is my Beloved, and this
is my Friend!" Song of Songs 5:16

Every Christian life is beautiful--

so far as it fairly and truly represents CHRIST. 

Anything in a believer's life which is not beautiful--

is not a just or adequate expression of our 

precious LORD JESUS. 

Holiness of character is simply the reproduction 

of the likeness of CHRIST in our life. Any feature 

that is not lovely and winning is not truly Christlike, 

and misrepresents CHRIST. It is not the Christian 

religion itself that is unlovely in any case--

but the human interpretation of it 

in disposition and conduct.

"He who says he abides in HIM, ought 
himself also to walk just as HE walked." 
1 John 2:6
