He that putteth not out his money to usury, thereby oppressing his poorer neighbor, Leviticus 25:37; Deuteronomy 16:19, nor taketh reward against the innocent, setting aside right and justice for the sake of a bribe, Deuteronomy 27:25. He that doeth these things, thereby proving the stainlessness of his honor and the piety of his character, as evidences of the faith of his heart, shall never be moved, being secure in the fellowship of Jehovah forever. True faith is always active in love; a Christian can no more desist from showing the faith of his heart in acts of love than the sun can desist from shining. The facts here brought out will also tend to keep the believer meek and humble, since God's ideal of a Christian is set so high.
