DAILY?READINGS: 1 Kings 19; Jeremiah 31; Hebrews 2
Because it is written, Be ye holy, for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:16
If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 1 Peter 2:3
Unto you therefore who believe he is precious. 1 Peter 2:7a
God is holy. And because He is holy, sin must be judged. As sinners, each one of us stood in jeopardy of that judgement. But God is gracious. And Christ has died in our place and paid the price of our sins in full. Having accepted His grace by faith, we grow in our spiritual life and find that He is precious, in fact more so day by day. He is holy! He is gracious! He is precious! —Sam Thorpe
Teach me Thy love, O gracious Son of God!
The love that passeth knowledge teach Thou me.
Like living water let that love flow in,
In heavenly freshness coming straight from Thee.
—Horatius Bonar
