An exhortation to wait God's coming to judgment. Isaiah 26 Preface - The apostle warneth to try by certain rules the spirits that pretend to come from God. He presseth the obligation of mutual love upon Christians from the example and commandment of God. 1 John 4 Daily Light - Morning Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! Since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. - Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have enterd into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit. - Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the llife that now is, and of that which is to come. Ps. 31.19; Isa. 64.4; 1 Co. 2.9-10; Ps. 16.11 Ps. 36.7-9 1 Tim. 4.8 Daily Light - Evening The Son of God... hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. - Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. - The Lord turned, and looked upon Peter... And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, and needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man. - He knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. - A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench. The Lord knoweth them that are his. - I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep... 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. Rev. 2.18; Jer. 17.9-10; Ps. 90.8; Lu. 22.61,62 Jn. 2.24-25; Ps. 103.14; Isa. 42.3 2 Tim. 2.19; Jn. 10.14,27-28 A Puritans Catechism Q 78 - How is baptism rightly administered? A - Baptism is rightly administered by immersion, or dipping the whole body of the person in water, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, according to Christ's institution, and the practice of the apostles, and not by spinkling or pouring of water, or dipping some part of the body, after the tradition of men. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Christ the Mediator Chapter 8 PARAGRAPH 5 The Lord Jesus, by His perfect obedience and sacrifice of Himself, which He through the eternal Spirit once offered up to God, has fully satisfied the justice of God,32 procured reconciliation, and purchased an everlasting inheritance in the kingdom of heaven, for all those whom the Father has given unto Him.33 32 Heb. 9:14, 10:14; Rom. 3:25–26 32 John 17:2; Heb. 9:15 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Christ for us But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour, that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. - Hebrews 2 v 9 Paul got such a view of the glory, brightness, and excellency of the way of salvation by Jesus, that it filled his whole heart. All other things sunk into littleness. Every mountain and hill was brought low, the crooked was made straight, the rough places smooth, and the glory of the Lord was revealed. As the rising sun makes all the stars disappear, so the rising of Christ upon his soul made everything else disappear. Jesus, suffering for us, filled his eye - filled his heart. He saw, believed, and was happy. Christ for us, answered all his need. From the Cross of Christ a ray of heavenly light flamed to his soul, filling him with light and joy unspeakable. He felt that God was glorified, and he was saved; he cleaved to the Lord with full purpose of heart.
