Let the redeemed of the LORD say so. (Psalm 107:2)
They will be called “The Holy People” and The People Redeemed by the LORD.
Then you will be called, 'The LORD's Own People' (Isaiah 62:12) You will lead the people You have redeemed with Your faithful love; You will guide them to Your holy dwelling with Your strength. (Exodus 15:13) He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. (Psalm 23:3)
But God led His own people forward like sheep And guided them in the wilderness like [a good shepherd with] a flock. (Psalm 78:52)
To Him who led His people through the wilderness, For His faithful love endures forever. (Psalm 136:16) In thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness; The pillar of cloud did not leave them by day, To guide them on their way, Nor the pillar of fire by night to light for them the way in which they were to go. (Nehemiah 9:19) You are to be holy to Me; for I the LORD am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples (nations) to be Mine. (Leviticus 20:26) “They will be Mine,” says the LORD of hosts, “on that day when I publicly recognize them and openly declare them to be My own possession [that is, My very special treasure]. And I will have compassion on them and spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him. Then you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between the one who serves God and the one who does not serve Him. (Malachi 3:17-18) By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil, anyone who does not practice righteousness [who does not seek God’s will in thought, action, and purpose] is not of God, nor is the one who does not [unselfishly] love his [believing] brother. (1 John 3:10) But like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves in all your conduct [be set apart from the world by your godly character and moral courage;
because it is written, “YOU SHALL BE HOLY (set apart), FOR I AM HOLY." (1 Peter 1:15-16) For you are a holy people [set apart] to the LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be a people for His own possession [that is, His very special treasure]. (Deuteronomy 7:6) Therefore the wicked will not stand [unpunished] in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
For the LORD knows and fully approves the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked shall perish. (Psalm 1:5-6)
Many will be purged, purified (made white) and refined, but the wicked will behave wickedly. None of the wicked shall understand, but those who are [spiritually] wise will understand. (Daniel 12:10)
So it will be at the end of the age; the angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous who have God's approval. (Matthew 13:49) But when the Son of Man comes in His glory and majesty and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.
All the nations will be gathered before Him [for judgment]; and He will separate them from one another, as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats;
and He will put the sheep on His right [the place of honor], and the goats on His left [the place of rejection]. (Matthew 25:31-33) Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.
Let them praise thy great and honored name; for it is holy. (Psalm 99:2-3)
They were calling out to each other: "Holy, holy, holy! The LORD Almighty is holy, The whole earth is filled with his glory." (Isaiah 6:3)
But the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD's glory like the water covers the sea; filled with people who know and honor the LORD. (Habakkuk 2:14)
Blessed be His glorious name forever; And may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen (Psalm 72:19)
[I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son]. (Ephesians 1:17)
