"They Will Be MINE-- In The Day When I Make Up MY Jewels!"

MY own special treasure!

(Theodore Cuyler, "Wayside Springs from the Fountain of Life" 1883)

"Now if you will obey ME and keep MY

covenant, you will be MY own special 

treasure from among all the peoples

on earth!" Exodus 19:5

Luther said that there is great divinity

in the personal pronouns of Scripture.

"They will be MINE--
in the day when I make up
MY jewels!" Malachi 3:17

Every true believer is surrendered to

the ownership of CHRIST. Up to the hour

of conversion we had other masters--

self, sin, and the devil. Now JESUS 

says to each Christian,

"You are MINE! I own you.

I will instruct you, and polish you,

and put you wherever it pleases ME.

I will take care of your salvation, and

nothing shall pluck you out of MY hand.

You shall be MY own special treasure

in the day of MY triumphant appearing.

I will place you in MY crown!"

"You have been set apart as holy to 
the LORD your GOD, and HE has 
chosen you from all the nations of 
the earth to be HIS own special 
treasure!" Deuteronomy 14:2

"The LORD has declared today that 
you are HIS people, HIS own special 
treasure, just as HE promised, and 
that you must obey all HIS commands." 
Deuteronomy 26:18
