02.05 Evening:


The judgment seat.
We are sure that the judgment of God is according to Truth.--When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory: and before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a Shepherd divideth His sheep from the goats.

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father.--Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, Who is even at the right hand of God, Who also maketh intercession for us.--There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.

We are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

Here it is again with the entire verses and references

02.05 Evening:


(II Corinthians 5:10)For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

(Romans 2:2)But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to Truth against them which commit such things.--(Matthew 25:31,32)When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory: and before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a Shepherd divideth His sheep from the goats:

(Matthew 13:43)Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.--(Romans 8:33,34)Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, Who is even at the right hand of God, Who also maketh intercession for us.--(Romans 8:1)There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

(I Corinthians 11:32)But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

2Co 5:10 Ro 2:2 Mt 25:31,32 13:43 Ro 8:33,34 8:1 1Co 11:32

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.

Psalm 48

A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah.

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the City of our God, in the Mountain of His Holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the City of the Great King. God is known in her palaces for a Refuge. For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together. They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away. Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail. Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

As we have heard, so have we seen in the City of the Lord of hosts, in the City of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah. We have thought of Thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of Thy Temple. According to Thy Name, O God, so is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of Righteousness. Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of Thy judgments. Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof. Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following. For this God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our guide even unto death.

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--
Matthew 22:37,38 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.


Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--

"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment."


Romans 5:5 And Hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Ephesians 3:14-20 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of Whom the whole family in Heaven and earth is Named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by Faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in Love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the Power that worketh in us, . . .

II Thessalonians 3:5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

Isaiah 26:12 Lord, Thou wilt ordain Peace for us: for Thou also hast wrought all our works in us.



"the first and great commandment"

Psalm 33:8-11 Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: He maketh the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.

II Corinthians 4:6 For God, Who commanded the Light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the Light of the Knowledge of the glory of God in the Face of Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 26:12 Lord, Thou wilt ordain Peace for us: for Thou also hast wrought all our works in us.


Again, the Word for the day--Matthew 22:37,38 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.

02.05 Morning:

I am come that they might have Life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.--She took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

The wages of sin is death; but the Gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord.--If by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the Gift of Righteousness shall reign in Life by One, Jesus Christ.--Since by man came death, by Man came also the Resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.--Our Saviour Jesus Christ, Who hath abolished death, and hath brought Life and Immortality to Light through the gospel.

God hath given to us Eternal Life, and this Life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath Life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not Life.--For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.

Joh 10:10 Ge 2:17 3:6 Ro 6:23 5:17 1Co 15:21,22 2Ti 1:10 1Jo 5:11,12 Joh 3:17

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.--(II Timothy 1:10)But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, Who hath abolished death, and hath brought Life and Immortality to Light through the gospel:
