07.22 Evening:

Keep yourselves in the love of God.

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me. I am the Vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing.

The fruit of the Spirit is love.

Herein is My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be My disciples. As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you: continue ye in My love. If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love.―Whoso keepeth His Word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him.

This is My commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.―God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.―God is love; and He that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

Jude 1:21 Joh 15:4,5 Ga 5:22 Joh 15:8-10 1Jo 2:5 Joh 15:12 Ro 5:8 1Jo 4:16

07.22 Evening:

(Jude 1:21)Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto Eternal Life.

(John 15:4,5)Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me. I am the Vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing.

(Galatians 5:22)But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

(John 15:8-10)Herein is My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be My disciples. As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you: continue ye in My love. If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love.--(I John 2:5)But whoso keepeth His Word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him.

(John 15:12)This is My commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.--(Romans 5:8)But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for 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.

Jude 1:21 Joh 15:4,5 Ga 5:22 Joh 15:8-10 1Jo 2:5 Joh 15:12 Ro 5:8 1Jo 4:16

--
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 23:1 The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.


The Word for the day--
Ezekiel 34:15 I will feed My flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God.

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

"I will feed My flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God."

John 6:53-57 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no Life in you. Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath Eternal Life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He that eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, dwelleth in Me, and I in him. As the Living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me.

Ezekiel 34:14,15 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the High Mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the Mountains of Israel. I will feed My flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God.

Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

Again, the Word for the day--Ezekiel 34:15 I will feed My flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God.



Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]

07.22 Morning:


In that He died, He died unto sin once: but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God.

He was numbered with the transgressors.―Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many.―Who His Own Self bare our sins in His Own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto Righteousness: by Whose stripes ye were healed.―By One offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

This Man, because He continueth ever, hath an unchangeable Priesthood. Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.―While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

Forasmuch . . . as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same Mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

Ro 6:10 Isa 53:12 Heb 9:28 1Pe 2:24 Heb 10:14 7:24,25 Ro 5:8,9 1Pe 4:1,2
