Psalm 36 Daily Light - Morning The accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony. - Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, year rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly. - That through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. - In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. - Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.... And take....the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. - Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. - In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom... Length of days is in her right hand... She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy us every one that retaineth her. - Christ Jesus....is made unto us wisdom.

The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Justification Chapter 11 PARAGRAPH 4 God did from all eternity decree to justify all the elect, (11) and Christ did in the fullness of time die for their sins, and rise again for their justification; (12) nevertheless, they are not justified personally, until the Holy Spirit in time does actually apply Christ to them.

I think I ought to confess sin the moment I see it to be sin; whether I am in company, or in study, or even preaching, the soul ought to cast a glance of abhorrence at the sin. If I go on with the duty, leaving the sin unconfessed, I go on with a burdened conscience, and add sin to sin, I think I ought at certain times of the day - my best times - say, after breakfast and after tea - to confess solemnly the sins of the previous hours, and to seek their complete remission.
