"The great thought and purpose of the true sanctuary,
---its priesthood,
---and ministry,
is that God shall dwell in the hearts of the people.
Q: What now is the great thought and purpose of His dwelling in the hearts of the people?
A: Perfection.
The moral and spiritual perfection of the worshiper.
Let us consider this: At the close of the fifth chapter of Hebrews, immediately following the statement that Christ, "being made perfect, He became the Author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him; called of God an High Priest after the order of Melchizedek," it is written: "Therefore," that is, because of this, for this reason, "leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection." (Heb. 6:1)."
