For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says,
“SACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED,
BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME;
IN WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE TAKEN NO PLEASURE.
“THEN I SAID, ‘BEHOLD, I HAVE COME
(IN THE SCROLL OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME)
TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.’”
After saying above,
“SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS AND WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, NOR HAVE YOU TAKEN PLEASURE in them”
(which are offered according to the Law),
then He said,
“BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL.”
He takes away the first in order to establish the second.
By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

"The Spirit distributes to every one as He will.
We must be content though we are lower and less than others.
We must not despise others, if we have greater gifts.
How blessed the Christian church, if all the members did their duty!
Instead of coveting the highest stations,
or the most splendid gifts,
let us leave the appointment of His instruments to God"

He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Psalm 55:22
Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged,
for The LORD your God
will be with you wherever you go.

LORD, make me to know mine end,
and the measure of my days, what it is;
that I may know how frail I am.

Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth;
and mine age is as nothing before thee:
verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity.
Psalm 119:19
I am a stranger on earth;
do not hide Your commands from me.
"We must be diligent in the use of all the means which lead to our salvation, persevering therein to the end. With great care, lest, with all our advantages, we should come short. Work out your salvation, for it is God who worketh in you. This encourages us to do our utmost, because our labour shall not be in vain: we must still depend on the grace of God. The working of God's grace in us, is to quicken and engage our endeavours. God's good-will to us, is the cause of His good work in us. Do your duty without murmurings."
ReplyDelete"The doctrine and example of consistent believers will enlighten others, and direct their way to Christ and holiness, even as the light-house warns mariners to avoid rocks, and directs their course into the harbour. Let us try thus to shine. The gospel is the word of life, it makes known to us eternal life through Jesus Christ. Running, denotes earnestness and vigour, continual pressing forward; labouring, denotes constancy, and close application. It is the will of God that believers should be much in rejoicing"

1st Corinthians 2:9
Trust in The LORD with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5,6
These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
