Revelation 17 Daily Light - Morning Be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. Ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. - As ye have...received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. - He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. - That on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. By faith ye stand. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. 1 Co. 15.58; Col. 2.6-7; Mt. 24.13; Lu. 8.15 2 Co. 1.24 Jn. 9.4 Ga. 6.8-10 Daily Light - Evening He is able.... to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him. I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. - Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. - He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. - Is any thing too hard for the LORD? Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever.

The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Repentance unto Life and Salvation Chapter 15 PARAGRAPH 3 This saving repentance is an evangelical grace,4 whereby a person, being by the Holy Spirit made sensible of the manifold evils of his sin, does, by faith in Christ, humble himself for it with godly sorrow, detestation of it, and self–abhorrancy,5 praying for pardon and strength of grace, with a purpose and endeavour, by supplies of the Spirit, to walk before God unto all well–pleasing in all things.6 4 Zech. 12:10; Acts 11:18 5 Ezek. 36:31; 2 Cor. 7:11 6 Ps. 119:6,128 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings He is mine My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. Song of Solomon 2 v 16 In the arms of my faith He is mine. I was once of the world - cold and careless about my soul. God awakened me, and made me feel I was lost. I tried to make myself good - to mend my life; but I found it in vain. I sat down more lost than before. I was then told to believe on the Lord Jesus. So I tried to make myself believe. I read books on faith, and tried to bend my soul to believe, so that I might get to heaven; but still in vain. I found it written, 'Faith is the gift of God.' 'No man can call Jesus Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.' So I sat down more lost than ever. Whilst I was thus helpless, Jesus drew near - His garments dipped in blood. He had waited long at my door, though I knew it not. 'His head was filled with dew, and His locks with the drops of the night.' He had five deep wounds; and He said, 'I died in the stead of sinners; and any sinner may have me for a Saviour. You are a helpless sinner, will you have Me?' How can I resist Him? He is all I need! I held Him, and would not let Him go.' 'My beloved is mine.' In the arms of my love He is mine. Once I did not know what people meant by loving Jesus. I always wished to ask how they could love one whom they had never seen, but was answered, 'whom not having seen, we love.' But now that I have hidden in Him - now that I am cleaving to Him - now I feel that I cannot but love Him; and I long to see Him that I may love Him more. Many a time I fall into sin, and that takes away my feeling of safety in Christ. Darkness comes, all is clouded, Christ is away. Still even then I am sick of love. Christ is not light and peace to me; but I follow hard after Him amid the darkness - He is precious to me; and even, though I be in darkness, He is my beloved still.' 'This is my beloved, and this is my friend.'
