Psalm 15
Concise Complete
The way to heaven, if we would be happy, we must be holy. We are
encouraged to walk in that way.
Here is a very serious question concerning the character of a citizen of
Zion. It is the happiness of glorified saints, that they dwell in the holy hill;
they are at home there, they shall be for ever there. It concerns us to make it
sure to ourselves that we have a place among them. A very plain and particular
answer is here given. Those who desire to know their duty, will find the
Scripture a very faithful director, and conscience a faithful monitor. A citizen
of Zion is sincere in his religion. He is really what he professes to be, and
endeavours to stand complete in all the will of God. He is just both to God and
man; and, in speaking to both, speaks the truth in his heart. He scorns and
abhors wrong and fraud; he cannot reckon that a good bargain, nor a saving one,
which is made with a lie; and knows that he who wrongs his neighbour will prove,
in the end, to have most injured himself. He is very careful to do hurt to no
man. He speaks evil of no man, makes not others' faults the matter of his common
talk; he makes the best of every body, and the worst of nobody. If an
ill-natured story be told him, he will disprove it if he can; if not, it goes no
further. He values men by their virtue and piety. Wicked people are vile people,
worthless, and good for nothing; so the word signifies. He thinks the worse of
no man's piety for his poverty and mean condition. He reckons that serious piety
puts honour upon a man, more than wealth, or a great name. He honours such,
desires their conversation and an interest in their prayers, is glad to show
them respect, or do them a kindness. By this we may judge of ourselves in some
measure. Even wise and good men may swear to their own hurt: but see how strong
the obligation is, a man must rather suffer loss to himself and his family, than
wrong his neighbour. He will not increase his estate by extortion, or by
bribery. He will not, for any gain, or hope of it to himself, do any thing to
hurt a righteous cause. Every true living member of the church, like the church
itself, is built upon a Rock. He that doeth these things shall not be moved for
ever. The grace of God shall always be sufficient for him. The union of these
tempers and this conduct, can only spring from repentance for sin, faith in the
Saviour, and love to him. In these respects let us examine and prove our own
selves.
