The LORD is gracious,
and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
(Psalm 145:8)
and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
(Psalm 145:8)
The Word for the YEAR--
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The Word for the month--
Psalm 17:15 As for me, I will behold Thy Face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.
The Word for the day--
Romans 5:20-21 Moreover the Law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through Righteousness unto Eternal Life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--
"the Law entered, that the offence might abound"
Romans 7:7-14 What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the Law: for I had not known lust, except the Law had said, Thou shalt not covet. But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the Law sin was dead. For I was alive without the Law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. And the commandment, which was ordained to Life, I found to be unto death. For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. Wherefore the Law is Holy, and the commandment Holy, and Just, and Good. Was then that which is Good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is Good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. For we know that the Law is Spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Romans 3:19-20 Now we know that what things soever the Law saith, it saith to them who are under the Law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the Law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the Law is the knowledge of sin.
"where sin abounded, grace did much more abound"
Romans 3:23-26 . . . for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through Faith in His blood, to declare His Righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; to declare, I say, at this time His Righteousness: that He might be Just, and the Justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free Gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the Gift by grace, which is by One Man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
John 1:14,16-17 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. , , ,And of His fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the Law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon Me Whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourneth for his only Son, and shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his Firstborn.
Joel 2:29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out My Spirit.
Again, the Word for the day--Romans 5:20-21 Moreover the Law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through Righteousness unto Eternal Life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]
01.16 Morning:
The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.―God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.―Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.―By him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.
Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.―And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.―Of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
