A new and living way which He consecrated for us. § Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior. § For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your name give glory. § To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. § You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation. § I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number … crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

Daily Light on the Daily Path or Daily Light is a Christian daily devotional scripture reading published by Bagster & Sons about 1875. It has been reprinted continually since then. It consists of brief groupings of scripture passages which speak to prominent Biblical themes—two themes (morning and evening) for each day of the year. It appends no commentary, but simply allows scripture to speak for itself.

Evening Daily Light

 They sang as it were a new song. 

Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died. § The blood … makes atonement for the soul. § I am the Lord… The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you. There is . . . no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from? . . . These are the ones who came out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

 They overcame . . . by the blood of the Lamb. 

I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, and like a cloud, your sins. § I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins. § “Come now, and let us reason together,” says the Lord, “though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” § I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more. § You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. You have lovingly delivered my soul from the pit of corruption, for You have cast all my sins behind Your back. § Who is a God like You, pardoning iniquity? He does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in mercy. § To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood … to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

 Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. 

<blockquote>
They who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ" (<a id="verse_1632880767518084" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Romans/5/17">Rom. 5:17</a>).
</blockquote>Law and grace are separated by the infinite chasm of the Cross. Law required right conduct first, with earthly position to be earned thereby. Grace gives heavenly position immediately, which ultimately produces right conduct. "Ye are not under the law, but under grace" (<a id="verse_1632880767287634" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Romans/6/14">Rom. 6:14</a>)."The believer does not walk in order to reach the throne. On the contrary. His walk is determined by the fact that he has been placed with the Lord Jesus in a position of immeasurable ascendancy. He has been made to sit together with Christ in heavenly places in order that, having received an abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, he might reign in life by one, even the Lord Jesus."He walks like a king because he is a king (<a id="verse_1632880767804931" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Revelation/1/6">Rev. 1:6</a>). He is not called upon to walk in kingly fashion in order that he may reach the throne. God's order is different. The Christian begins at the throne and his kingly manner is only the inevitable outcome of his exalted position."Our frustrations and agonies in an effort to attain the unattainable, our shame and our defeats such as we find in Paul's own experience tabulated so faithfully in Romans 7, come about naturally and inevitably when, failing to grasp all this, we put the emphasis on our conduct rather than our position, which must come first." -F.J.H."Unto Him that loveth us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and hath made us a kingdom of priests unto God and His Father, to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever" (<a id="verse_1632880767452337" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Revelation/1/5">Rev. 1:5</a>; <a id="verse_1632880767581098307" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Revelation/1/6">6</a>).

 Positional Conduct 

<div class="center-it mtb10">He made us to be a kingdom, to be kings and priests unto His God and Father. - Revelation 1:6 </div>" HE loveth us "; that is the eternal act that lies at the foundation of the Universe. He hath loosed us from our sins in His own blood "; that is the great fact in Time, done once and needing no repetition, and capable of no repetition, into which all the fulness and sweetness and pathos and power of that infinite love has been gathered and condensed. And then there follows, in the words of this text, the ultimate consequence and lofty development, at once, of that eternal, timeless love, and of that redeeming act which "hath loosed us from our sins," and, yet more wonderful, " hath made us kings and priests to God." Every Christian man is a king and priest. Those who have been loosed from their sins by the blood of Christ have thereby become members of that Kingdom of God which consists of all whose wills bow to His for His dear love's sake. But, inasmuch as such submission to His sway gives authority and mastership over all beside, that kingdom is a kingdom all whose subjects are royal; and in this sense, too, Christ is King of kings. It would appear that the phrase in the old law was so used to express the double idea of a Kingdom of Kings, in other places of the New Testament, and probably, therefore, here. For instance, we have it quoted again in this book (verse 10), with a clause added which distinctly shows that there "kingdom" is, in the writer's mind, equivalent to "kings" - namely, "and they shall reign (or "they reign") upon the earth." Again, Peter gives it in the form of "a royal priesthood," where the original force of " kingdom " has disappeared altogether, and the idea of the royalty of believers alone remains. It seems probable, then, that in the words before us, we are to see the same idea predominant, though no doubt the other must also be taken into account. It is also to be remembered that both these high titles originally and properly belong to Christ, and are bestowed on believers by deviation or transference from Him. The wholesome usage of ancient times forbade the blending of these two offices in one person, but He is a priest after the order of Melchizedek. He wears the mitre and the crown, and, as the prophet Zechariah foretold, " shall be a priest upon His throne "; what He is. He, in His love, raises all His servants to be.

 THE ROYALTY OF THE REDEEMED

<div class="center-it mtb10">And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: He who was manifested in the flesh, justified by the Spirit, seen of angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, received up in glory. - 1 Timothy 3:16 </div>THE Divine nature of the Lord Jesus Christ is woven through the whole of the Book of Revelation, like a golden thread, and manifestly is needed to explain the fact of this solemn ascription of praise (see Revelation 1:5-6) to Him, as well as to warrant the application of each clause of it to His will. For John to lift up his voice in this grand doxology to Jesus Christ was blasphemy, if it was not adoration of Him as Divine. He may have been right or wrong in his belief, but surely the man who sang such a hymn to his Master believed Him to be the Incarnate Word, God manifest in the flesh. If we share that faith, we can believe in Christ's present love to us all. It is no misty sentiment or rhetorical exaggeration to believe that every man, woman, and child that is or shall be on the earth till the end of time has a distinct place in His heart, is an object of His knowledge and of His love. This one word, then, is the revelation to us of Christ's love, as unaffected by time. Our thoughts are carried by it up into the region where dwells the Divine nature, above the various phases of the fleeting moments which we call past, present, and future. These are but the lower layer of clouds which drive before the wind, and melt from shape to shape. He dwells above in the naked, changeless blue. As of all His nature, so, blessed be His Name! of His love we can be sure that time cannot bound it. We say, not, "It was," or, " It will be," but we can proclaim the changeless, timeless, majestic present of that love which burns and is not consumed, but glows with as warm a flame for the latest generations as for those men who stood within the reach of its rays while He was on earth. " I am the First and the Last," says Christ, and His love partakes of that eternity. It is like a golden fringe which keeps the web of creation from raveling out. Before the earliest of creatures was this love. After the latest it shall be. It circles them all around, and locks them all in its enclosure. It is the love of the Divine heart, for it is the same yesterday, and to-day, and for ever. It is the love of a human heart, for that heart could shed its blood to loose us from our sins. Shall we not take this love for ours? The heart that can hold all the units of all successive generations, and so love each that each may claim a share in the grandest issues of its love, must be a Divine heart, for only there is there room for the millions to stand, all distinguishable and all enriched and blessed by that love. Is there any meaning but exaggerated sentiment in this word of Revelation, any meaning that will do for a poor heart struggling with its own evil, and with the world's miseries and devilries, to rest upon, unless we believe that Christ is Divine, and loves us with an everlasting love because He is God manifest in the flesh?

 OUR LORD'S DIVINE NATURE

For Reading and Meditation:      Isaiah 40:1-11What do we mean when we say that the Bible is "inspired"? There are various views. One is natural inspiration - that the Bible is inspired in the same way that any work of genius is, like Pilgrim's Progress for example. Another view is of partial inspiration, which claims that the Bible is not a scientific textbook and therefore cannot be trusted in scientific matters, such as the origin of the species. It is, however, to be trusted in matters that relate to salvation. The third view can be described as dictational inspiration - that God dictated the Bible to its writers verbatim, as a businessman would dictate a letter to a secretary. The fourth view is of verbal inspiration, which holds that every word in the Bible came from the mouth of God. The fifth and final view is of supervisal inspiration - that nothing is included in the Bible which God did not want there and nothing is omitted which was meant to have a place in the sacred book. I hold to the last view - supervisal inspiration. I rule out natural inspiration and partial inspiration, but not necessarily dictational inspiration, at least in part. Large sections of the Bible were personally dictated to men by God, the Ten Commandments being just one example. The writers of the Bible were, I believe, divinely indemnified against errors of observation, lapses of memory, and unintentional misrepresentation of facts. Their writings were honest, accurate, and supervised by the Holy Spirit before being compiled into this wonderful book we call the Bible. No wonder it is often referred to as the "book of books." O God, I know Your Word is inspired, for it inspires me. Help me to have Your Word hidden in my heart so deeply that it becomes the hidden spring of action, determining my conduct and my character. In Jesus' Name. Amen.<div class="tl-lightgrey mt20 pt20 flexbox-row-wrap jc-around"><div><div class="fs-17 fg-mustard bold center-it">AdditionalVerses</div><ul style="margin-top:0px"><li>Jeremiah 36:1-7</li><li>Revelation 1:1-20</li><li>Revelation 2:1</li><li>12,18</li><li>7,14, 22</li></ul></div>

"The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever." (v. 8) 

6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Revelation 1:6

 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

In 1604, King James I of England authorized that a new translation of the Bible into English be started. It was finished in 1611, just 85 years after the first translation of the New Testament into English appeared (Tyndale, 1526). The Authorized Version, or King James Version, quickly became the standard for English-speaking Protestants. Its flowing language and prose rhythm has had a profound influence on the literature of the past 400 years. The King James Version present on the Bible Gateway matches the 1987 printing. The KJV is public domain in the United States.

OT: Masoretic Text, some LXX and Vulgate influence.
NT: Textus Receptus, similar to the Byzantine text-type; some readings derived from the Vulgate.

From Wikipedia: 

The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English translation of the Bible. The ESV was published in 2001 by Crossway, having been "created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors." The ESV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Crossway claim that the ESV continues a legacy begun by the Tyndale New Testament of precision and faithfulness in English translation of the original text, followed in the same standard by "the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971." Crossway describes the ESV as a translation that "emphasizes 'word-for-word' accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning." Crossway also describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an "essentially literal" translation philosophy, taking into account "differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."

The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV). ESV Translation Oversight Committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent (or about 60,000 words) of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001. Grudem states that the committee removed "every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952." Although, Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee "is simply 'the best of the best' of the KJV tradition."

With regard to gender language, the ESV Translation Oversight Committee state that "the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original."[9] The committee expands on this position in claiming that, although the ESV avoids using gender-neutral language (for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text), the translation does utilize gender-neutral language in specific cases. The committee further state that their objective was "transparency to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present-day Western culture."[9] The ESV Study Bible often details in its commentary why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation.

The New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Bible first published in 1978 by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society). The NIV was published to meet the need for a modern translation done by Bible scholars using the earliest, highest quality manuscripts available. Of equal importance was that the Bible be expressed in broadly understood modern English.

The NIV is published by Zondervan in the United States and Hodder & Stoughton in the UK. The NIV was updated in 1984 and 2011 and has become one of the most popular and best-selling modern translations.

From Wikipedia: 

The American Standard Version (ASV) is rooted in the work that was done with the Revised Version (RV) (a late 19th-century British revision of the King James Version of 1611). In 1870, an invitation was extended to American religious leaders for scholars to work on the RV project. A year later, Protestant theologian Philip Schaff chose 30 scholars representing the denominations of Baptist, Congregationalist, Dutch Reformed, Friends, Methodist, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Protestant Episcopal, and Unitarian. These scholars began work in 1872.

The RV New Testament was released In 1881; the Old Testament was published in 1885. The ASV was published in 1901 by Thomas Nelson & Sons. In 1928, the International Council of Religious Education (the body that later merged with the Federal Council of Churches to form the National Council of Churches) acquired the copyright from Nelson and renewed it the following year.

The divine name of the Almighty (the Tetragrammaton) is consistently rendered Jehovah in the ASV Old Testament, rather than LORD as it appears in the King James Bible.

The ASV was the basis of four revisions. They were the Revised Standard Version, 1971, the Amplified Bible, 1965, the New American Standard Bible, 1995, and the Recovery Version, 1999. A fifth revision, known as the World English Bible, was published in 2000 and was placed in the public domain. The ASV was also the basis for Kenneth N. Taylor's Bible paraphrase, The Living Bible, 1971.

This Bible is in the public domain in the United States. We are making it available in the same format in which we acquired it as a public service.
