HE SHALL RECEIVE ME
“But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for He shall receive
me.” (Psalm 49:15)
Usually we are concerned with our receiving Him, for “as many as received Him,
to them gave He power to become the sons of God, to them that believe in His
name,” (John 1:12). This is certainly needful. But now we would give the
emphasis upon His receiving us, for “Him that cometh unto Me I will in no wise
cast out,” (John 6:37). “And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This
Man receiveth sinners”, (Luke 15:2). Received ‘as sinners’ does not immediately
qualify us for the high realms of glory, but having thus received us, He begins
to work in us, to purify and cleanse and perfect until He can take us unto
Himself in the fullest sense of the word.
“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and
touch not the unclean thing: and I will receive you,” (II Cor. 6:17).
Prerequisite to His receiving us on any deeper level, is BE YE SEPARATE. We must
come out from the unholy realms of religious Babylon. Coming out is a process,
wrought by degrees, as He strips away the old, and prepares us for the new,
until we truly worship Him,” in spirit and in truth”.
Having worked in us a separation from all corruption, then He says, “I will
receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and
daughters, saith the Lord Almighty,” (II Cor. 6:18). This FATHER-SON
relationship is surely a holy realm, and the sanctifying process to prepare us
for this realm, and the sanctifying process to prepare us for this realm IN HIM
must be complete. Therefore, “whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth
every son whom He receiveth,” (Heb. 12:6). When the child-training is complete,
we shall be found to His honor and praise.
“Thou shalt guide me with Thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory,” (Ps.
73:24). There is a receiving into glory, not at the beginning of the process,
when we are received as sinners, but after He has guided our steps through the
whole preparation and maturing process. Then, “I will come again, and receive
you unto Myself,” (John 14:3).
