27. For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish. We must be near God to live; to be far off by wicked works is death. Thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. If we claim to be the
Lord’s servants, we must remember that he is a jealous God, and requires
spiritual chastity from all his people. Offenses against conjugal vows are very
offensive, and all sins against God have the same element in them, and they are
visited with the direst punishments. Mere heathens, who are far from God,
perish; but those who, being his professed people, act unfaithfully will come
under active condemnation, and be crushed beneath his wrath.
