Post-o-Matic 3.16† 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 Morning Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word. Walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. You have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God.—“Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.”—“Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”—He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit.—Your promise gives me life. The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. Eph. 5:25, 26; Eph. 5:2; 1 Pet. 1:23; John 17:17; John 3:5; Titus 3:5; Ps. 119:50; Ps. 19:7, 8 (Read full verses...) Evening Through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. “I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one.” “Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. . . . And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.”—There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.—“When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name.” Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way . . . let us draw near. Eph. 2:18; John 17:23; John 14:13, 14, 16, 17; Eph. 4:4-6; Luke 11:2; Heb. 10:19, 20, 22 (Read full verses...) << Nov 12 | Nov 13 | Nov 14 >> Excerpted from Daily Light on the Daily Path ©2002 Crossway Books, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
