Joshua 1:1-18; Hosea 8:1-9:17; Luke 19:29-48
Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and [translated] us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. Colossians 1:12-13 NKJV
Qualified us, delivered us, and translated us! The believer has every reason to be thankful. The Father has qualified us to be saints by the act of justification. He has delivered us from the darkness of this world by the process of sanctification. And He has translated us by taking us out of the reign of Satan to the sovereign reign of His dear Son. —Sid Halsband
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease,
My Comforter, my All in All;
Here in the love of Christ I stand. —Keith Getty & Stuart Townend
