July 25
MORNING
We know that we have passed out of death into life.
"Whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life."--Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
It is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.--By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him. . . . Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God.--We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
You were dead in the trespasses and sins. . . . [God] made us alive together with Christ.--He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son.

EVENING
You make known to me the path of life.
"Thus says the Lord: Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death."--"I will instruct you in the good and the right way."--"I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."--"Follow me."
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.--"The gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few."
And a highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Way of Holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it. It shall belong to those who walk on the way; even if they are fools, they shall not go astray.--"Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord."
"In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?"
