He hireth Tiglath-pileser against them, who taketh Damascus, and slayeth Rezin. Ahaz causeth a new altar to be made for burnt offerings after a pattern sent by him from Damascus, and setteth aside the brasen altar for his private use. He spoileth the temple of its ornaments for a present to the king of Assyria. He dieth: Hezekiah succeedeth him. 2 Kings 16 Preface -Directions given to Titus both for his doctrine and life.

Unto you....which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient....a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence. - The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. - Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD. - The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. - If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God. - Whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance. He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. - Ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. - My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

A - Baptism and the Lord's Supper become spiritually helpful, not from any virtue in them, or in him who does administer them, but only by the blessing of Christ, and the working of the Spirit in those who by faith receive them. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Christ the Mediator Chapter 8 PARAGRAPH 3 The Lord Jesus, in His human nature thus united to the divine, in the person of the Son, was sanctified and anointed with the Holy Spirit above measure,13 having in Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge;14 in whom it pleased the Father that all fullness should dwell,15 to the end that being holy, harmless, undefiled,16 and full of grace and truth,17 He might be throughly furnished to execute the office of mediator and surety;18 which office He took not upon himself, but was thereunto called by His Father;19 who also put all power and judgement in His hand, and gave Him commandment to execute the same.20 13 Ps. 45:7; Acts 10:38; John 3:34 14 Col. 2:3 15 Col. 1:19 16 Heb. 7:26 17 John 1:14 18 Heb. 7:22 19 Heb. 5:5 20 John 5:22,27; Matt. 28:18; Acts 2:36 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Justified And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Acts 13 v 39 Once Jesus was unjustified - once there were sins laid to His charge - the sins of many. It was this that occasioned His agony in the garden - on the cross. His only comfort was, 'He is near that justifieth me.' He knew the time would be short. But now the wrath of God has all fallen upon HIm. The thunder clouds of God's anger have spent all their lightnings on His head. The vials of God's wrath all the sins that were laid upon Him. He has left them with the grave-clothes. His fellow men and devils laid all sins to His charge; He was silent. Do you believe this record concerning the Son? Do you cleave to Jesus as yours? Then you have fellowship with Him in His justification. You are as much justified as Christ is. There is as little guilt lying upon you as there is upon Christ. The vials of wrath have not another drop for Christ, nor another drop for you. You are justified from all things.
