Blessing and honor
and glory and power
be to Him who sits on
the throne, and to the
Lamb, forever and ever !
Revelation 5:13

Give me a spirit of praise, dear Lord,
That I may adore Your name,
Sing praises from a grateful heart
To the One who is always the same.

Those who know Christ now will sing His praise forever.

You... have neglected
the weightier matters
of the law: justice and
mercy and faith.
Matthew 23:23

THINKING IT THROUGH
According to Romans 7:18-24, what is the
apostle Paul's view of his own spiritual condition ?
What did Paul say is the answer ? (Rom 7:25-8:4).

Legalism destroys our loving relationship with God.

Blessed are you
when they revile and
persecute you, and
say all kinds of evil
against you falsely for
My sake... Great is
your reward in heaven.
Matthew 5:11-12

When pressures mount because we walk
The path of truth and right,
We can rejoice to know that we
Are pleasing in God's sight.

The way to have joy in persecution is to find your joy in Jesus.

Jesus said to Simon,
"Do not be afraid.
From now on you will
catch men."
Luke 5:10

God has a purpose and plan for your life.
When from sin's burden He's given release;
As an ambassador now for the Lord -
Go and tell others of His perfect peace.

The next person you meet may need to meet Christ.
