Glorious Day of the Saints Appe
Practical Application
The PRACTICAL APPLICATION of this point is the main thing I shall speak to. Is it so that the saints at last shall appear glorious?
1. First, This serves to bespeak the people of God to BE glorious.
Oh, that you would strive to be glorious now, who at last shall appear so glorious! Oh, that your words might be more glorious, that your thoughts of God might be more glorious, that your conversations might be more glorious, that your actings towards God and man might be more glorious! The day is coming, O blessed souls, where as you shall appear glorious! Oh, that you would labor now to shine in glory, who at the last shall transcend the sun in glory! But I shall hasten to that which I chiefly intend, and that is this: Is it so that believers at last shall appear glorious? Then,
2. Second, This serves to bespeak all believers to DO gloriously while you are here, for you shall appear glorious. In this I shall endeavor these three things— First, To lay down some motives to move you to do gloriously here, who shall appear glorious in heaven.
Secondly, We shall show when a man may be said to do gloriously.
