Let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great. - I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee....I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished. - He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. He hath not dealt ith us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.... For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. - I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. - Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: but I have prayed for thee, that hy faith fail not. Thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. - And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. My speech and my preaching was....in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.... But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered 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: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. Thine eyes shall see the kings in his beauty. - We shall see him as he is. - In my flesh shall I see God. - I shall be satisfied. 1 Ki. 10.7; Mt. 12.42; Jn. 1.14 1 Co. 2.4-5.9-10 Isa. 33.17; 1 Jn. 3.2; Job 19.26; Ps. 17.15 A Puritans Catechism Q 8 - How doth God execute his decrees?

The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Effectual Calling Chapter 10 PARAGRAPH 3 Elect infants dying in infancy are regenerated and saved by Christ through the Spirit; 10 who works when, and where, and how He pleases; 11 so also are all elect persons, who are incapable of being outwardly called by the ministry of the Word. 10 John 3:3,5–6 11 John 3:8 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings The heart of the Father And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Revelation 13 v 8 O brethren, could I lift you away to the eternity that is past: - could I bring you into the council of the Eternal Three; and as it was once said 'Let us make man,' should I let you hear the word, 'Let us save man;' - could I show you how God from all eternity designed His Son to undertake for poor sinners; how it was the very plan and the bottommost desire of the heart of the Father that Jesus should come into the world and do and die in the stead of sinners; how the Holy Spirit breathed sweetest incense, and dropped like holiest oil upon the head of the descending Saviour; - could I show you the intense interest with which the eye of God followed Jesus through His whole course of sorrow, and suffering, and death; - could I show you the anxious haste with which God rolled away the stone from the sepulchre while it was yet dark, for He would not leave His soul in hell, neither suffer His Holy One to see corruption; - could I show you the ecstasies of love and joy that beat in the bosom of the infinite God when Jesus ascended to His Father and our Father; how He welcomed Him with a fullness of kindness and grace, which God alone could give and God alone could receive, saying, 'Thou hast my Son, this day have I begotten thee; Thou art indeed worthy to be called my Son; never till this day wast Thou so worthy to be called mine; Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; Sit thou on my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool.' - O sinner, will you ever doubt any more whether God the Father be seeking Thy salvation - whether the heart of Christ and of His Father be the same in this one grand controversy P believer, consider this Apostle of God - meditate on these things - look and look again, until your peace be like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea - till the breathing of your soul be, Abba, Father!
