Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

A just God and a Saviour.
The L ORD is well pleased for his righteousness’ sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them—Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus—He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed—Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth—To him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
P S. 85:10; I SA. 45:21; I SA. 42:21; 2 C OR. 5:19—ROM. 3:25-26—ISA. 53:5—ROM. 8:33—ROM. 4:5

Take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? … for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

O fear the L ORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the L ORD shall not want any good thing—No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O L ORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
I would have you without carefulness—Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. The very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows—Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?—Have faith in God.

Behold, the L ORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear .

In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul—Whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation—Be not thou far from me, O L ORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
Ah Lord G OD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee—Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us—Shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily.
I SA. 59:1; P S. 138:3—D AN. 9:21; P S. 27:9—Ps. 22:19; J ER. 32:17—2 C OR. 1:10 —LUKE 18:7-8

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect—Ye shall be holy unto me: for I the L ORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.
Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power—Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity—Be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the L ORD—Whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed—Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
M ATT. 5:48; G EN. 17:1—LEV. 20:26; 1 C OR. 6:20; C OL. 2:10—T ITUS 2:14—2 P ET. 3:14; P S. 119:1—JAMES 1:25—PS. 139:23-24

Surely the L ORD is in this place; and I knew it not .

Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them—Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world—My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there—Am I a God at hand, saith the L ORD, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the L ORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the L ORD.
Behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?—Thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones—Ye are the temple of the living God.
G EN. 28:16; M ATT. 18:20—MATT. 28:20—EXOD. 33:14; P S. 139:7-8—JER. 23:23-24; 1 K INGS 8:27—ISA. 57:15—2 C OR. 6:16

The fruit of the Spirit is … peace.

To be spiritually minded is life and peace—God hath called us to peace—Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid—The God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day—Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
The work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places—Whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
Great peace have they which love thy law.

Consider how great things he hath done for you.

Thou shalt remember all the way which the L ORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the L ORD thy God chasteneth thee.
I know, O L ORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word—The L ORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death—He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. He knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
1 S AM. 12:24; D EUT. 8:2, 5—PS. 119:75, 71, 67—PS. 118:18—PS. 103:10-11, 14

Behold the Lamb of God.

It is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God—He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
Ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold … but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot … manifest in these last times for you, who by him do believe in God … that your faith and hope might be in God.
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
J OHN 1:29; H EB. 10:4-7—ISA. 53:7; 1 P ET. 1:18-21; R EV. 5:12
