Luk 1:46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, Luk 1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Luk 1:48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Luk 1:49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. Luk 1:50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generat...

Jude gives Christ's church three characteristics to identify the ungodly men who have crept into the church with their errors and evil conduct. They corrupt the grace of God. They deny the Lord God. They deny the efficacy of the work of Christ. Mark those men and earnestly contend for the truth.

Luk 1:39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; Luk 1:40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. Luk 1:41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: Luk 1:42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art...

Jude’s message for the Lord’s people is an instruction to contend for the truth against those who would deny the doctrine and teaching of our common salvation once delivered to the saints by the Lord Jesus Christ and His apostles.

God’s mercy, peace and love are everlasting and constant to His people in Christ. Nevertheless, Jude knows we often fail to enjoy and lay hold upon these truths because our faith is weak and falters. Therefore, Jude prays that new and fresh applications of these three graces be granted and multiplied that Christ’s people may be helped through their Christian pilgrimage.

Luk 1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, Luk 1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. Luk 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. Luk 1:29 And when she saw him,...

Jude tells us that He is a servant of Jesus Christ sent to minister to the church of Jesus Christ. He identifies the Lord's people by three blessed characteristics. We are sanctified by the Father, we are preserved in Jesus Christ, we are called to experience salvation by God the Holy Spirit.

Luk 1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

Psa 23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psa 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. Psa 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Psa 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff th...

1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1Co 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1Co 15:4...

Luk 12:22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. Luk 12:23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. Luk 12:24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowl...

Psa 48:1 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. Psa 48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. Psa 48:3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge. Psa 48:4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by togethe...

Micah 2:10  Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.

Isaiah preached the Lord Jesus Christ to his Old Testament congregation of faithful believers; a remnant people. He preached judgment for sin, grace for sinners and the glories of the Saviour Jesus Christ. We thank the prophet for His faithful testimony. We thank His Lord for so great salvation.

Man's reason causes him to imagine he knows how to pleased God. It gives him a false notion of holiness. Christ's coming was a new beginning for all those called to faith in Him. We are accepted in Christ and made perfect and holy in the Lord.

Job 19:25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: Job 19:26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Job 19:27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ ask their Saviour and Deliverer for many things to help, comfort and protect us from the troubles of life. However, sometimes our troubles bring us most good by exercising our faith and drawing us closer to the Lord. The Lord will rend the heavens and come down but it may not be in the way we desire or for the outcome that we ask.

God the Father has ‘made us meet’ to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints. Paul could not describe sovereign grace better. From eternal love, election, justification, calling, and all other graces, God supplies every requirement to fit His people for glory. Our Lord Jesus Christ has set us free from the power of sin and Satan. He has delivered us from the power of darkness. This liberatin...

1Jn 3:1   Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1Jn 3:2   Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

1Co 2:1   And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 1Co 2:2   For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 1Co 2:3   And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 1Co 2:4   And my speech and my preaching  was  not with enticing words of man's wis...

Eph 5:22   Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. Eph 5:23   For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Eph 5:24   Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so  let  the wives  be  to their own husbands in every thing. Eph 5:25   Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the chur...

Mal 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. Mal 3:17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Mal 3:18 Then sh...

The Lord Jesus Christ was a victim in death but also a conqueror. In dying the Saviour entered the strong man’s house and spoiled His goods. He triumphed over sin, Satan, world, death, and the grave. He defeated every spiritual enemy of His and ours, especially the devil, who leads men captive at his will. Christ spoiled and triumphed over Satan, with principalities and powers, leading captivity c...

Gal 6:11  Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. Gal 6:12  As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. Gal 6:13  For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. Gal 6:14  B...
