Daily Light on the Daily Path

Devotional: December 24th

Morning:

If ye live after the flesh, ye shall die:

but if ye through the Spirit do mortify

the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;

Adultery, fornication, . . . and such like: of the which I tell

you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they

which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But

the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,

gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such

there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the

flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit,

let us also walk in the Spirit.

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; who gave himself

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

unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Evening:

Then said the princes of the Philistines,

What do these Hebrews here?

If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye;

for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their

part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. But

let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, . . . or

as a busybody in other men’s matters.

Let not . . . your good be evil spoken of. Having your

conversation honest among the Gentiles.

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what

fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what

communion hath light with darkness? . . . Ye are the temple of

the living God. . . . wherefore come out from among them, and be

ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing.

Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an 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.
