Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own
blood.–REV. 1:5.
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. Love
is strong as death.–Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay
down his life for his friends.
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we,
being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye
were healed.–In whom we have redemption through his blood, the
forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.
Ye are washed, . . . ye are sanctified, . . . ye are justified in the
name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.–Ye are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that
ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of
darkness into his marvellous light.–I beseech you . . . brethren, by
the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
My brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his
might.–Valiant for the truth.–Fight the Lord’s battles.–Be strong,
all ye people of the land, saith the Lord, and work: fear ye not.–Lift
up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to
harvest.–Yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and
will not tarry.
