DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.B. Simpson emphasizes that living a fully consecrated life for God is
far more fulfilling than a mixed existence filled with worldly
distractions. He illustrates that a redeemed and sanctified soul is
designed for greater depths, akin to a large vessel that thrives in deep
waters rather than shallow pools. Simpson encourages believers to rise
above their petty purposes and embrace the glorious life offered through
Christ, walking in the light as heirs of God. He calls for a
transformation to a higher existence, inspired by the hope of Christ's
return and the resurrection life.

It is easier for a consecrated Christian to live a total life for God
than to live a mixed life. A soul redeemed and sanctified by Christ is
too large for the shoals and sands of a selfish, worldly, sinful life.
The great motor vessel can sail in deep waters without an effort, but
she can make no progress in the shallow pool. In the crowded harbor, the
smallest tugboat is worth a dozen of her, but out in mid-ocean she can
outdistance it in an hour. Beloved, your life is too large, too
glorious, too divine for the small place in which you are trying to
live. Your purpose is too petty.

Arise and dwell on high in the resurrection life of Jesus and in the
inspiring hope of His blessed coming.

Rise with thy risen Lord, Ascend with Christ above, And in the
heavenlies walk with Him, Whom seeing not, you love. Walk as a heavenly
race, Princes of royal blood; Walk as the children of the light, The
sons and heirs of God.
