Both the lying prophets, and the people who believe them, shall perish. Jeremiah is commanded to bewail their calamities. Jeremiah 14 Preface - Christ's resurrection is declared by an angel to the women. Christ himself appeareth to them. The chief priests bribe the soldiers to report that he was stolen by the disciples. Christ appeareth to the eleven in Galilee; and sendeth them to teach and baptize all nations. Matthew 28 Daily Light - Morning He calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. The foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. - Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. - The LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. - Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm. - The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Jn. 10.3; 2 Tim. 2.19; Mt. 7.22-23; Ps. 1.6 Isa. 49.16; Song 8.6; Na. 1.7 Jn. 14.2-3 Daily Light - Evening She hath done what she could. This poor widow hath cast in more than they all. - Whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. - If there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. Let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. - If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? - He which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. When ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. Mk. 14.8; Lu. 21.3; Mk. 9.41; 2 Co. 8.12 1 Jn. 3.18; Jas. 2.15-16; 2 Co. 9.6-7 Lu. 17.10 A Puritans Catechism Q 49 - Which is the fourth commandment? A - The fourth commandment is, Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of the Law of God Chapter 19 PARAGRAPH 6 Although true believers be not under the law as a covenant of works, to be thereby justified or condemned, yet it is of great use to them as well as to others, in that as a rule of life, informing them of the will of God and their duty, it directs and binds them to walk accordingly; discovering also the sinful pollutions of their natures, hearts, and lives, so as examining themselves thereby, they may come to further conviction of, humiliation for, and hatred against, sin; together with a clearer sight of the need they have of Christ and the perfection of his obedience; it is likewise of use to the regenerate to restrain their corruptions, in that it forbids sin; and the threatenings of it serve to shew what even their sins deserve, and what afflictions in this life they may expect for them, although freed from the curse and unallayed rigour thereof. The promises of it likewise shew them God's approbation of obedience, and what blessings they may expect upon the performance thereof, though not as due to them by the law as a covenant of works; so as man's doing good and refraining from evil, because the law encourageth to the one and deterreth from the other, is no evidence of his being under the law and not under grace.

Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Hallelujah! What a saviour For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 1 Corinthians 5 v 21 You know brethren, that the pardon and justification of sinners is spoken of in different ways in the Bible. In Romans 3 v 24, it is said, 'Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption thatt is in Christ Jesus.' Again, in Romans 5 v 19, 'For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.' But observe that these words express it more fully. I think it means that those of you who have come to the Lord Jesus, His righteousness shall cover you, that you will appear one mass of righteousness. And, brethren, observe what a provision is here for sinners - for the chief of sinners; for it matters not how great of how small a sinner you are if you come to Christ, His righteousness will cover you so that none of your sin will be seen. O my friends, is not this a gospel worth preaching? May you now say as Luther used to do, 'Thou art made my sin, and I am made hty righteousness.'
