Daily Reading Preface - Job protesteth his sincerity, and resolution to assert his innocence to the last, seeing that the hypocrite is without hope: he admitteth that even the blessings which the wicked possess are sometimes turned into curses. Job 27 Preface - All gifts, however excellent, without charity are worth nothing. The praises of charity, and its preference to faith and hope. 1 Corinthians 13 Daily Light - Morning Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord. Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. — Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. — I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. I made haste and delayed not to keep thy commandments. — Let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. — We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and he is the propitiation for our sins. — Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is say, his flesh: and having a high priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Lam. 3.40; Psa. 26.2; Psa. 51.6; Psa. 119.59,60; I Cor. 11.28 1 John 1.9; 1 John 2.1; Heb. 10.19‑22 Daily Light - Evening There was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud,... and I will look upon it, that I may remember the ever-lasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. — An everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and sure. — That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us. We declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers, God hath fulfilled the same unto their children, in that He hath raised up Jesus again. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever. Rev. 4.3; Gen. 9.12,13,16; II Sam. 23.5; Heb. 6.18; Acts. 13.32 Heb. 13.8 A Puritans Catechism Q76 - What is Baptism? A - Baptism is an ordinance of the New Testament, instituted by Jesus Christ, to be to the person baptised a sign of his fellowship with him, in his death, and burial, and resurrection, of his being ingrafted into him, of remission of sins, and of his giving up himself to God through Jesus Christ, to live and walk in newness of life. Of Lawful Oaths and Vows Chapter 23 PARAGRAPH 3 Whosoever takes an oath warranted by the word of God, ought duly to consider the weightiness of so solemn an act, and therein to avouch nothing but what he knows to be truth; for that by rash, false, and vain oaths, the Lord is provoked, and for them this land mourns.6 6 Lev. 19:12; Jer. 23:10 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Cleansed ...and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. - 1 John 1 v 7 There is nothing so defiling as our sins. Every one now redeemed was once stained and defiled with sin - was once plunged in the miry clay. John Bunyan says, 'An unconverted man is the most doleful of all creatures.' One walking by the sea, said, 'My heart would pollute all that ocean.' Sin is an infinite evil. It leaves a mark on the soul that nothing human can wipe away. Oh! pray for a discovery of the loathsomeness of sin. One thing is greater, the blood of Jesus, His own blood, the blood of the Lamb. As the waters were higher than the highest mountains, so the blood can cover the highest sins. Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. It is atoning blood. 'There is a fountain fill'd with blood, Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains.'
