Devotional: December 22nd

Morning:

Your work of faith.

This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath

sent.

Faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Faith

which worketh by love. He that soweth to his flesh shall of the

flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of

the Spirit reap life everlasting. We are his workmanship,

created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before

ordained that we should walk in them. Who gave himself for us,

that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto

himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is

meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the

charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth.

Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count

you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure

of his goodness, and the work of faith with power. It is God

which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good

pleasure.

Evening:

Where is the promise of his coming?

Enoch, . . . the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these,

saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his

saints, to execute judgment upon all. Behold, he cometh with

clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which

pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of

him.

The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with

the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the

dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and

remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to

meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

The grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all

men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we

should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present

world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing

of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.
