"But sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord." In the light of its
setting, this means, first of all, to let the awe of the lordship of Christ
possess your hearts. Dwell constantly on the fact that Christ is Lord. Because He is Lord, all power in heaven and
earth is His; therefore He is Master of every situation, sufficient for every
emergency, able to supply every need. When a Christian trembles in the
presence of his enemies, it is because he doubts or has lost sight of the
faithfulness and power of Christ.
"But sanctify in
your hearts Christ as Lord." The motive for obeying this precept should
not be our own peace and comfort, but His honor and glory. To guard against
the feat of man, the saint is to cultivate the fear of the Lord, that Christ
may be magnified.
