Psalm 48:14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even to death. It is the unspeakable privilege of believers that God in Christ is their own God, and will be so for ever. In the Old Testament it was the joy of the devout Jew that God was his God. And the believer in Christ has the like joy. But only through Christ, who is called Immanuel, that is, "God with us." Eminent believers are represented as having a special interest in God. The patriarchs; Moses; the psalmists; David. And we may well rejoice in our relation to God, for He is almighty, wise, holy, just, omnipresent, patient, sovereign, good, merciful, love, faithful. Then, can we say, "This God is our God"? (G. Burder.) Parallel Verses KJV: For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death. |
