Giving Goodly Words (2)

Fear the Lord, depart from evil, play not with sin, seek God’s peace through the Precious Blood of the Lamb of God, and then with adoring gratitude, do good for His glory. Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith. Lay aside every weight. Run with patience. In honor preferring one another. Depart from iniquity, deny ungodliness, and worldly lusts. Live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. Not seeking mine own profit. Blessed be the Lord. We look for the Savior. Deny yourself, never trust yourself. Wait for God’s Son from Heaven. Praise God, give thanks, do good, communicate.

Faith: Trust, reliance, dependence, confidence in Christ Jesus. Believe: Rely upon, to rest in, hang your soul on, lean upon Him, cast yourself upon Christ's Finished Work. No works, no preparations, no bettering yourself, simply come and trust Him now. Stop trusting yourself, put your trust entirely upon Jesus. Jesus saves us from sin for His glory. My soul’s only dependence is Him. Look to and trust in the righteousness, works, obedience, sacrifice, blood, resurrection of Another (Christ Jesus Himself). Saved solely by the merits of Another. O send out Thy light and Thy truth. Quicken Thou me, hold Thou me up, help Thou me, have mercy upon me. Be good, gracious, and grateful.

Always Remember Calvary, give glory to God, Christ is All. Trust only in Christ, keep to Him, live for Him. Let not sin reign in your mortal body.  Fighting the good fight - striving against my sins, through the Spirit mortifying the works of the flesh which war against the soul. Obedient, humble, teachable, childlike dependence. Remember the name of the LORD our God. Stay pure for Jesus’ sake. God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. Even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. Temperate in all things. Live unto God. Jesus still saves real sinners. This world can never satisfy my immortal soul; Give me Christ, or else I die. Godliness, contentment, and pureness are great gain. Conscience, record, sin, death, judgment, wrath, hell, terror of the Lord, Eternity.  Jesus never fails.

I deserved Hell, but Jesus took all my Hell on the Cross, and now I’m going to Heaven freely through faith in His innocent Blood.  Be of sin the double cure, save from wrath, and make me pure. Men always look at life according to what they are. Grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Simplicity, godly sincerity, godly edifying. Live godly in Christ Jesus. Serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. Thou hast done it. Ask and have. Redemption, justification, sanctification. Men can see money and stuff, but they can't see the kingdom of God. Righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness, kindness, humbleness of mind, temperance. Continuing instant in prayer. Christ liveth in me. Be of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom. Life is short, death is sure, sin the curse, Christ the cure.  Christ first, me last. 

True wisdom from above is First Pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. Increase in the knowledge of God. Grow in grace. Walk in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost. One thing is needful, personal dealings with Jesus Christ, communion with the Holy Ghost. I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. God, thank you for your being so good to me. Who am I; Here am I; Lord, send me. Be fruitful in every good work. Remember and turn unto the LORD. Be filled with the fruits of righteousness. God loveth a cheerful giver. Willing and obedient, honest and good heart. Give thanks to His dear name. Hear the word, keep it with patience. But if the corn of wheat die, it bringeth forth much fruit. Think soberly, exercise thyself rather unto godliness. We should bring forth fruit unto God. Where is your faith? Have faith in God. Go and bring forth fruit.  What is your servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?

Let us have grace. Christ Jesus is All – stick to that – add nothing to it. The Lord is my portion. The more haste, the less speed. He does twice who does quickly. I will come again. Cease not to give thanks. No sweat, no sweet; no pain, no gain; no mill, no meal; no cross, no crown. Exalt the Lamb of God. Be ye thankful. The world for Jesus. Keep close to Jesus, and do as He did, in His Spirit. Spirit-led behavior for Jesus' sake. All for Jesus, and for Jesus only. With Christ anywhere, without Christ, nowhere. One volunteer is worth more than twenty pressed men. Remember the LORD. Keep thy heart with all diligence. New creatures have a new nature. It’s never too soon to pray, and it’s never too late to pray. Exhort one another daily. They run hard and fast whom the devil drives. The Great Physician cuts deeply, but He heals completely. Make Christ Himself your master passion.  Stay pure for Jesus’ sake. 

Follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth.  A little pot is soon hot. Prompt and sincere in the work of the Lord. There’s many a slip between tongue and lip. The tongue will always tattle on the condition of your heart. Don’t slander, demean, belittle, or insult others. Heart right, thoughts right, words right. Fresh confession, fresh repentance, fresh surrender, fresh yielding, fresh control, fresh victory. Remember the Savior. Sincere repentance, helpless dependence, Gospel humility. Pardon, Purity, Peace. The Holy Spirit's work – convincing, quickening, converting, regenerating, comforting, conforming, sanctifying, renewing. Humble, trustful confidence in Christ Jesus. Authenticity, humility, integrity, sensitivity. Humble adoring gratitude. Thankfulness, gratitude, generosity. Life is too short to waste it in sin and self. Be careful for nothing, prayerful for everything, thankful for anything.  The savour of the Savior. Give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness.

Abide in Christ. Knee-ology, not just theology. Piety and purity must begin within. While I live and breathe, I will boast and glory in the Lamb. With the King for His work.  Just be nothing, and let Jesus be everything. As the day lengthens, the cold strengthens. There's no good thing about you, and there's no bad thing about God. Love the Bible, read it, search it, study it, and do it. Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift. Good people are not always suspicious. Keep to the Savior’s heels. Abound in good works, but never trust them. Abhor your sins, and adore the Savior.

Without Jesus, ye can do nothing. O ye of little faith. Lord, increase our faith. There’s peace in believing. Beware of yourself. Love Christ, hate your sins. Salvation is all for nothing, or nothing at all. All I have is Him. The Father’s free grace, the Son’s atoning blood, and the Spirit’s quickening power. Trust and love Christ. Christ is everything, and I am nothing at all. Praise be to God. Laus Deo! Trust all your salvation with Christ. Only God’s smile gives peace. Lord Jesus, I need you; Holy Spirit please quicken me. Your sin can only be put away forever by God’s own blood - it flowed from Emmanuel's veins. Your sins can’t keep you from God, only your self-righteousness will keep you from God.
