Our daily practice ought to be to get right with God so that we may be right, then we do right by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, in view of these blessings, we don’t quit because we have assurance by the communication with the Holy Ghost in the Word that we are reading, diligently. Who do you know that does more than what was required? Have you added any “promise verses” to your thanksgiving journal? Consider 2^nd Timothy 3:10-17 and be grateful.

Please invite your friends to read their Bible with you and as you discuss the lesson after your reading, challenge one another to give their testimony of salvation. Encourage them to read the webpage and to follow every week. Share the Truth, Jesus saves! Maranatha!
