Both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying, I will declae thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. - In Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. - Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. - Blessed are thy that hear the word of God, and keep it. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter in the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. - My meat is to do the sill of him that sent me. - If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth. - Whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways... Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?... If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are. - The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. - Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. - A just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again. Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. - The spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak. - Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. 1 Ki. 19.9; Job 23.10; Ps. 139.1-3,7,9-10 Jas 5.17; Pro. 29.25; Ps. 37.24; Pro. 24.16 Ga. 6.9; Mt. 26.41; Ps. 103.12 A Puritans Catechism No. 65 - Is any man able perfectly to keep the commandments of God?

BAPTIST CONFESSION OF FAITH Of Divine Providence Chapter 5 PARAGRAPH 1 God the good Creator of all things, in His infinite power and wisdom does uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures and things,1 from the greatest even to the least,2 by His most wise and holy providence, to the end for the which they were created, according unto His infallible foreknowledge, and the free and immutable counsel of His own will; to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, infinite goodness, and mercy.3 1 Heb. 1:3; Job 38:11; Isa. 46:10–11; Ps. 135:6 2 Matt. 10:29–31 3 Eph. 1; 11 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings One hour with God But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works. - Psalm 73 v 28 You will get more knowledge in one hour with God than in all your life spent with man. You will get more holiness from immediate conversing with God than from all other means of grace put together. Indeed, all means are empty vanity, unless you come to God in them.
