He exhorteth them to add to their faith such virtues as would make it fruitful; and thereby to make their calling and election sure. He is careful to remind them hereof, knowing his dissolution to be near; and urgeth the evidence of what he had seen and heard in the holy mount in confirmation of Christ's second coming, together with the word of prophecy, which he recommendeth to their regard. 2 Peter 1 Daily Light - Morning We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house. One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. - He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. - I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never thirst. 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. - Thy lovingkindness is better than life. Ps. 65.4; Ps. 27.4 Mt. 5.6; Lu. 1.53 Ps. 107.9; Jn. 6.35 {s. 36.7-9; s. 63.3 Daily Light - Evening Do ye now believe? What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him....faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son...accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead. - Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?... Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. By their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. - If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. Jn. 16.31; Jas. 2.14,17 He. 11.17,19; Jas. 2.21,24 Jas. 1.25 Mt. 7.20-21; Jn. 13.17 A Puritans Catechism Q 19 - Did God leave all mankind to perish in the state of sin and misery? A. - God, having out of his good pleasure from all eternity, elected some to everlasting life, did enter into a covenant of grace to deliver them out of the state of sin and misery, and to bring them into a state of salvation by a Redeemer. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Sanctification Chapter 13 PARAGRAPH 3 In which war, although the remaining corruption for a time may much prevail,10 yet, through the continual supply of strength from the sanctifying Spirit of Christ, the regenerate part does overcome;11 and so the saints grow in grace, perfecting holiness in the fear of God, pressing after an heavenly life, in evangelical obedience to all the commands which Christ as Head and King, in his Word has prescribed to them.12 10 Rom. 7:23 11 Rom. 6:14 12 Eph. 4:15–16; 2 Cor. 3:18, 7:1 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings A divine power So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. Romans 1 v 15 Men would laugh at the idea of a poor worm like Paul going to subdue mighty Rome with a few words of his lips; but Paul saw such a divine power in the gospel that he was not ashamed of it. He knew it could break the hardest heart, and bind up the most broken. The learned men of Rome would smile at the words of this babbler, but Paul saw such wisdom in the gospel, that all human wisdom appeared utter folly beside it. The wickedness of Rome reached up to heaven; it was a continual smoke in God's nostrils, a fire that burned all the day. But Paul knew that the righteousness of God could cover the sin of a thousand Romes. He saw it to be so vast, so immense, so free, so surpassing glorious, so divine, that it could flow over and cover the sins of the greatest sinner there.
