For all flesh is as grass,
and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
but the Word of the Lord endureth for ever.
And this is the Word which by the Gospel is preached unto you.
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, as newborn babes,
desire the sincere milk of the Word,
that ye may grow thereby:
if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
(I Peter 1:24-2:3)
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 29:11 The Lord will give strength unto His people; the Lord will bless His people with Peace.
The Word for the day--
Romans 5:1,2 Therefore being justified by Faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by Whom also we have access by Faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--
"Therefore being justified by Faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by Whom also we have access by Faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God."
"justified by faith"
Galatians 2:16,20 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the Faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the Faith of Christ, and not by the works of the Law: for by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified .... I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the Life which I now live in the flesh I live by the Faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me.
"peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ"
Colossians 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in Heaven.
Ephesians 2:14,15 For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the Law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in Himself of twain One New Man, so making peace;
Luke 7:50 And He said to the woman, Thy Faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
"by Whom also we have access by Faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God."

II Corinthians 1:24 Not for that we have dominion over your Faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by Faith ye stand.
Ephesians 2:8,9 For by grace are ye saved through Faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the Gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
II Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
I Peter 5:10-12 But the God of all grace, Who hath called us unto His Eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
Titus 2:11-14 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed Hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
I Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
Revelation 21:9-11 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a Great and High Mountain, and shewed me that Great City, the Holy Jerusalem, descending out of Heaven from God, having the glory of God: and her Light was like unto a Stone most precious [cp. 1Pet 2:3,4], even like a jasper Stone [cp. Rev 4:1-3], clear as crystal;
Again, the Word for the day--Romans 5:1,2 Therefore being justified by Faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by Whom also we have access by Faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]
12.06 Morning:
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.―A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from Heaven.―No man can come to M except the Father which hath sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the Last Day.―And I will give them One Heart, and One Way, that they may fear Me for ever.
Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good Gift and every perfect Gift is from Above, and cometh down from the Father of Lights, with Whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of His Own will begat he us with the Word of Truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Lord, Thou wilt ordain Peace for us: for Thou also hast wrought all our works in us.
Php 2:13 2Co 3:5 Joh 3:27 6:44 Jer 32:39 Jas 1:16-18 Eph 2:10 Isa 26:12
