Daily Light - Morning
His name shall be called Wonderful.

The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. - Thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

They shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. - JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

All men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. - God....hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name. - Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: and hath put all things under his feet. - He had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself....KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out. - What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
Isa. 9.6; Jn. 1.14; Ps. 138.2
Mt. 1.23; Mt. 1.21
Jn. 5.23; Phil. 2.9; Eph. 1.21-22; Rev. 19.12,16

Daily Light - Evening
The LORD's portion is his people


Ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. - I am my beloved's and his desire is toward me. - I am his. - The Son of God....loved me, and gave himself for me.

Know ye not that....ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's - The LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.

Ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. - Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. - A spiritual house, an holy priesthood.

They shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels. - All mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. - The glory of his inheritance in the saints.
Deu. 32.9; 1 Co. 3.23; Song 7.10; Song 2.16; Ga. 2.20

A Puritans Catechism
Q 71 - What are the outward means whereby the Holy Spirit communicates to us the benefits of redemption?

A - The outward and ordinary means whereby the Holy Spirit communicates to us the benefits of Christ's redemption, are the Word, by which souls are begotten to spiritual life; Baptism, the Lord's Supper, Prayer, and Meditation, by all which believers are further edified in their most holy faith.


​The 1689
Baptist Confession of Faith
Of the Church
Chapter 26
PARAGRAPH 1
​

The catholic or universal church, which (with respect to the internal work of the Spirit and truth of grace) may be called invisible, consists of the whole number of the elect, that have been, are, or shall be gathered into one, under Christ, the head thereof, and is the spouse, the body, the fulness of him that fills all in all. (1)
(1) Heb. 12:23; Col. 1:18; Eph. 1:10.22-23, 5:23,27,32

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings
The grand object
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Ephesians 5 v 27


Some are afraid they will never be holy: 'I shall fall under my sin' You shall be made holy. It was for this Christ died. This was the grand object he had in view. This was what was in his eye - to build a holy church out of a world of lost sinners; to pluck brands out of the fire and make them trees of righteousness; to choose poor, black souls, and make them fair brothers and sisters round his throne. Christ will not lose this object.
Look up, then - be not afraid. He redeemed you to make you holy. Though you had a million of worlds opposing you, he will do it: 'He is faithful, who also will do it.'
