Rev. ii. |
Webster's 1st ed., 1828
I know that "faith" without works is dead. I know that
good works are defined by God's Law, not man's. I adhere to the Law
of God at all costs, in every area of life.
The weightier matters of the Law:
justice and mercy and faith.
Matthew 23:23
I try to visualize what God intends to do in a given situation
and then act in harmony with it.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence
of things not seen.
-- Hebrews 11:1
My life is a faithful representation of God's blueprints for man.
My allegiance to God's Law and my strict adherence to duty leads
others to admire God and His Commands.
In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined
according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to
the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should
be to the praise of His glory.
-- Ephesians 1:11-12
I will meditate in Thy precepts, and have respect unto thy
ways. I will delight myself in Thy statutes: I will not forget Thy
Word.
-- Psalm 119:15
This isn't that New Age
"Positive Thinking" stuff, is it??
