God Rejoices Over His People Who Are Separate from the World ㅡ

“For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people.” (1 Samuel 12:22)

The closest relationship exists between God and His people. Not only are we objects of His sparing mercy, His pardoning love; we are more than this. The Lord rejoices over His people. He delights in them. He is their surety. He will beautify all who are serving Him with a whole heart with the spirit of holiness. He clothes them with righteousness. He loves those who do His will, who express His image. All who are true and faithful are conformed to the image of His Son.
They have righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
(Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers 414.3, 422.1)
