DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

We would confess our many sins, with great self-abhorrence and hatred of them. The Lord be pleased to forgive his servants in this thing, and let us each this morning feel the application of the precious “blood of Jesus which speaks better things than that of Abel” (Hebrews 12:24).

May every child of God know now, that he is clean through the washing of the blood. We long that we might be certain that no guilt is recorded against us now, for it is blotted out forever and the record is destroyed. Being justified by faith may we have peace, deep, lasting peace with God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“If we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)

If guilt returns, his power may be proved again and again. There is no fear that all my daily slips and shortcomings will not be graciously removed by this precious blood.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week we’re praying for the Baheng of China.

This traditional people group worships their ancestors and trusts the dead to keep them safe. There are zero Christians among them as far as we know. They will never hear the gospel unless someone from the outside brings it to them.

Pray that God would send missionaries to the Baheng.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

Enjoy God’s grace of sinners

This week, the newsletter is focusing on the forgiveness of sins. If you want to deepen your understanding and appreciation of God’s forgiveness of your sins, a great book is By Grace Alone: How the Grace of God Amazes Me by Sinclair Ferguson.

We really do need to re-ground ourselves in the stunning message of God’s glorious goodness and amazing grace every day. This will keep us humble as we remember that Jesus’ grace (not our own goodness) is our only hope. I know this book will be a helpful tool to help you rejoice in God’s never-ending grace — I hope you’ll grab a copy today.

LAST WORD FROM SPURGEON

“When God forgives, he forgives forever. Until God can change or lie, he will never bring to mind again the sin of that man who he has pardoned.” — Charles Spurgeon
