I saw....the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims... And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. - These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. - Upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness....of a man above upon it.... As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. I beseech thee, shew me thy glory... And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. - N o man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

She took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. - Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity. Wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. None of us liveth to himself. - Brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. - Take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak....when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Pro. 1.10; Ge. 3.6; Jos. 22.20 Ex. 23.2 Mt. 7.13 Ro. 14.7; Ga. 5.13; 1 Co. 8.9,12 Isa. 53.6 A Puritans Catechism Q 17- Wherein consists the sinfulness of that state whereinto man fell? A - The sinfulness of that state whereinto man fell consists in the guilt of Adam's first sin, the want of original righteousness, and the corruption of his whole nature, which is commonly called original sin, together with all actual transgressions which proceed from it. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Sanctification Chapter 13 PARAGRAPH 1 They who are united to Christ, effectually called, and regenerated, having a new heart and a new spirit created in them through the virtue of Christ's death and resurrection, are also farther sanctified, really and personally,1 through the same virtue, by his Word and Spirit dwelling in them;2 the dominion of the whole body of sin is destroyed,3 and the several lusts of it are more and more weakened and mortified,4 and they more and more quickened and strengthened in all saving graces,5 to the practice of all true holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.6 1 Acts 20:32; Rom. 6:5–6 2 John 17:17; Eph. 3:16–19; 1 Thess. 5:21–23 3 Rom. 6:14 4 Gal. 5:24 5 Col. 1:11 6 2 Cor. 7:1; Heb. 12:14 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Delay in answered prayer For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Habakkuk 2 v 3 When the merchant sends his shops to distant shores, he does not expect them to come back richly laden in a single day. He has long patience. 'It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.' Perhaps your prayers will come back like the shis of the merchant, all the more heavily laden with blessings, because of the delay.
