292. Double Blessings

1. Rest. Salvation and holiness. “I will give you rest.” “Ye shall find rest” (Mat_11:28-29).

2. Meetness. Grace makes us meet for the inheritance—Col_1:12; and the Holy Spirit makes us meet for service—2Ti_2:21.

3. Supply. “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord” (2Pe_1:2).

4. Peace. “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you” (Joh_14:27).

5. Keeping. “Preserved,” or kept “in” (“for”, R.V.) “Jesus Christ.” “Keep yourselves in the love of God” (Jud_1:21).

6. Indwelling. “He that keepeth His commandments dwelleth in Him, and He in him” (1Jn_3:24).

7. Life and Joy. “These things we write… that your joy may be full.” “These things have I written… that ye may know ye have eternal life” (1Jn_1:4; 1Jn_5:13).
