Let us labour … to enter into that rest.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction … strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it—The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force—Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you—Give diligence to make your calling and election sure … for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ—So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his—The L ORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
H EB. 4:11; M ATT. 7:13-14—MATT. 11:12—JOHN 6:27—2 P ET. 1:10-11—1 C OR. 9:24-25; H EB. 4:10—ISA. 60:19

We look for the Saviour.

The grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and wordly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works—We, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation—And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the L ORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
P HIL. 3:20; T ITUS 2:11-14—2 P ET. 3:13-14; H EB. 9:28—ISA. 25:9

The L ORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him .

Praise the L ORD of hosts: for the L ORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever—God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble—I will say of the L ORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust—Who is like unto thee, O people saved by the L ORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency!—As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the L ORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. For who is God, save the L ORD? and who is a rock, save our God?

If any man love God, the same is known of him—The foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity—The L ORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish—Thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.

Our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep.

The chief Shepherd—I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
The L ORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the L ORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all—I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep—I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick—Ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
H EB. 13:20; 1 P ET. 5:4—JOHN 10:14, 27-28; P S. 23:1-3; I SA. 53:6—JOHN 10:11—EZEK. 34:16—1 P ET. 2:25

How great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee!

Since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him—Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit—Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand, there are pleasures for evermore.

How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house, and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
Godliness is profitable unto all things, having a promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
P S. 31:19; I SA. 64:4—1 C OR. 2:9-10—PS. 16:11; P S. 36:7-9: 1 T IM. 4:8

Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

The love of the Spirit—The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost—In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them, and he bares them and carried them all the days of old. But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit—After that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession—This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities.
E PH. 4:30; R OM. 15:30—JOHN 14:26—ISA. 63:9-10; 1 J OHN 4:13—EPH. 1:13-14—GAL. 5:16-17; R OM. 8:26

Thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD.

Jesus … because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them—Him that is able to keep you from falling and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory.

Seeing … that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us, therefore, come boldly unto the throne of grace.
The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him, and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
E XOD. 28:12; H EB. 7:22, 24-25—JUDE 24; H EB. 4:14-16; D EUT. 33:12

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.

The world passeth away, and the lust thereof—Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them—What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: but one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her—I would have you without carefulness.
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world—The Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means—The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: the LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: the LORD lift up his countenance upon thee and give thee peace.
