Happy Reformation Day!
Today's encouragement comes from 2 Timothy 3:14, where we read these words:"But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assur-ed of, knowing from whom you have learned them . . . "
As we come to a clearer and more glorious understanding of the gospel of Jesus—we must "continue" in it (that greater light). The blessed truth that re-generated Christians are *fully* righteous in God's sight—not because of our own alleged goodness—but because of the legally-imputed perfect right-eousness of Christ (received by us through faith in Jesus alone), becomes for us a great comfort.
Let us never move away from our lifeline, our happiness, and our power sup-ply—Who *is* our Lord Jesus Himself. Let us "continue" in His gospel, know-ing that we received it (ultimately) by divine revelation from God Himself.
[Puritan quote of the day: "For want of hearts full of love for God, men have heads full of error.” —Thomas Watson, in, "All Things For Good"]
