Nehemiah1 Preface - Peter, being accused for conversing with the Gentiles, maketh his defence; the church is satisfied, and glorifieth God. The gospel having spread as far as Phenice, Cyprus, and Antioch. Barnabas is sent thither, who fetcheth Saul from Tarsus; many people are taught at Antioch, where the disciples are first called Christians. Agabus prophesieth a dearth; the disciples send relief from Antioch to the brethren in Judaea by Barnabas and Saul. Acts 11 Daily Light - Morning Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion. To us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. - All men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. - By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. - Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God. I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; and cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb... Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen Ps. 65.1; 1 Co. 8.6; Jn. 5.23; He. 13.15; Ps. 50.23 Rev. 7.9-10,12 Daily Light - Evening Who redeemeth thy life from destruction. Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name. - I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction. As the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. Ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. - When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe. Ps. 103.4; Jer. 50.34; Hos. 13.14 He. 2.14-15 Jn. 3.36 Col. 3.3-4; 2 Th. 1.10 A Puritans Catechism Q31 - What benefits do they that are effectually called partake of in this life?

BAPTIST CONFESSION OF FAITH Our Saving Faith Chapter 14 PARAGRAPH 3 This faith, although it be in different stages, and may be weak or strong,11 yet it is in the least degree of it different in the kind or nature of it, as is all other saving grace, from the faith and common grace of temporary believers;12 and therefore, though it may be many times assailed and weakened, yet it gets the victory,13 growing up in many to the attainment of a full assurance through Christ,14 who is both the author and finisher of our faith.15 11 Heb. 5:13–14; Matt. 6:30; Rom. 4:19–20 12 2 Pet. 1:1 13 Eph. 6:16; 1 John 5:4–5 14 Heb. 6:11–12; Col. 2:2 15 Heb. 12:2 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings The victory of the blood And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb... - Revelation 12 v 11 We wrestle not with flesh and blood. An awakened soul often has an awful warfare with Satan. Satan fights against him in two ways: first, by stirring up his corruption's, and making his lusts to flame and burn within him in a fearful manner. Second, by accusing him. Satan is the accuser of the brethren. He accuses him in his conscience, in order to drive him away from Christ - to drive him to despair, and to give up all hope of salvation. He says to him: 'Thou art a vile wretch, not fit for a holy Saviour. See what raging lusts are in thy heart. Thou wilt never be saved.' Ah, when the poor sinner runs into Christ, he finds rest there - his warfare is then accomplished. He sees all the accusations of Satan answered in the blood of the Lamb.
