Reformed Doctrine Daily Devotions

Today’s devotion comes from Hebrews 13:20-25.

 

“²⁰ Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, ²¹ equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever.  Amen.

 

²² But I urge you, brethren, bear with this word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.  ²³ Take notice that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom, if he comes soon, I will see you.  ²⁴ Greet all of your leaders and all the saints.  Those from Italy greet you.

 

²⁵ Grace be with you all.”  Hebrews 13:20-25.

God equips you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight.

 

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.”  Ephesians 2:10.

 

“for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.”  Philippians 2:13.

“For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 1:6.

How comforting!

Question 1.  What is thy only comfort in life and death?

Answer.  That I with body and soul, both in life and death, am not my own, but belong unto my faithful Savior Jesus Christ;  who, with his precious blood, hath fully satisfied for all my sins, and delivered me from all the power of the devil;  and so preserves me that without the will of my heavenly Father, not a hair can fall from my head;  yea, that all things must be subservient to my salvation, and therefore, by his Holy Spirit, he also assures me of eternal life, and makes me sincerely willing and ready, henceforth, to live unto him.  The Heidelberg Catechism.
