In My Fathers house are many mansions

In My Fathers house are many mansions!

"In My Fathers house are many mansions!" John 14:2

The universe is God's house—and each habitable globe is but a single room of it!
Who can measure the dwelling-place of the Infinite?
Who can mark the bounds of His habitation?
Who can number the abodes on His estate?

" In My Father's house ," said our Lord to His disciples, "are many mansions. I am going to prepare a place for you." The home of the redeemed, specially prepared by Him who loved us and gave Himself for us—will doubtless be one of the brightest and best throughout our heavenly Father's domain.

Our title to an abode in it, is the infinite worthiness of Christ—His obedience unto death, even the death of the cross.

Our fitness for dwelling there, is the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts, whereby we are made partakers of the divine nature, and fitted for fellowship with God, and the holy ones who love and serve Him continually.

Beloved reader, have you a title to the mansion above? Have you received it as the gift of God through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ? And have you a fitness for it? Do you love the society of the people of God? Do you hunger and thirst after righteousness? If so, you will surely have a place in the mansion above, and be forever with the Lord!

Back to Every Day!
