02.01 Evening:
THE Lord OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags.

I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of Thy Righteousness, even of Thine only.--I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, He hath covered me with the robe of Righteousness, as a Bridegroom decketh Himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him--To her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the Righteousness of saints.

I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord . . . that I may win Christ, and be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the Law, but that which is through the Faith of Christ, the Righteousness which is of God by Faith.

Jer 23:6 Isa 64:6 Ps 71:16 Isa 61:10 Lu 15:22 Re 19:8 Php 3:8,9


Here it is again with the entire verses and references

02.01 Evening:


(Jeremiah 23:6)In His days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely:
and this is His Name whereby He shall be called, THE Lord OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

(Isaiah 64:6)But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

(Psalm 71:16)I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of Thy Righteousness, even of Thine only.--(Isaiah 61:10)I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of Righteousness, as a Bridegroom decketh Himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

(Luke 15:22)But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:--(Revelation 19:8)And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the Righteousness of saints.

(Philippians 3:8,9)Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for Whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, and be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the Law, but that which is through the Faith of Christ, the Righteousness which is of God by Faith:

Jer 23:6 Isa 64:6 Ps 71:16 Isa 61:10 Lu 15:22 Re 19:8 Php 3:8,9



--
Romans 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
I Peter 5:11 To Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

The LORD is gracious

The LORD is gracious,
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 18:1-2 I will love Thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my Rock, and my Fortress, and my Deliverer; my God, my strength, in Whom I will trust; my Buckler, and the Horn of my salvation, and my high Tower.


The Word for the day--
I John 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

02.01 Morning:

Whom having not seen, ye love.

We walk by Faith, not by sight:--We love Him, because He first loved us.--We have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.--Whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the Word of Truth, the gospel of your salvation: in Whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise,--God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this Mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God Whom he hath not seen?

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.--Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him.

1Pe 1:8 2Co 5:7 1Jo 4:19,16 Eph 1:13 Col 1:27 1Jo 4:20 Joh 20:29 Ps 2:12

(II Corinthians 5:7)(For we walk by Faith, not by sight:)--(I John 4:19)We love Him, because He first loved us.--(I John 4:16)And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.--(Ephesians 1:13)In Whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the Word of Truth, the gospel of your salvation: in Whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise,--(Colossians 1:27)To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this Mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

(I John 4:20)If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God Whom he hath not seen?

(John 20:29)Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.--(Psalm 2:12)Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the Way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him.
