The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7
D.L. MOODYYou may pile up your sins till they rise like a dark mountain, and then multiply them by ten thousand, taking into account those you cannot think of: and after you have tried to enumerate all the sins you have ever committed, just let me give you one verse, “The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin,” and that mountain will melt away.
ERWIN LUTZERWe all have within us a sin factory, manufacturing truckload after truckload of sin. Jesus said …

So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told. Acts 27:25
D.L. MOODYFaith is a belief in testimony. It is not a leap in the dark. God does not ask any man to believe without giving him something to believe. You might as well ask a man to see without eyes as to bid him believe without giving him something to believe.
ERWIN LUTZERFaith is not a leap in the dark. There are plenty of reasons to believe in the promises of God, just as Paul did …

By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain… though he died, he still speaks. Hebrews 11:4
D.L. MOODYBut there is one thing you cannot bury with a good man; his influence still lives. They buried Daniel, yet his influence is as great today as ever it was. Do you tell me that Joseph is dead? His influence still lives and will continue to live on and on. You may bury the frail tenement of clay that a good man lives in, but you cannot get rid of his influence and example. Paul was never more …

One man of you puts to flight a thousand. Joshua 23:10
D.L. MOODYWhen in Glasgow, a friend was telling me about a man who was preaching one Sabbath morning on Shamgar. He said: “I can imagine that when he was ploughing in the field, a man came running over the hill all out of breath and shouted: ‘Shamgar! Shamgar! There are six hundred Philistines coming toward you.’ Shamgar quietly said: ‘You pass on; I can take care of them, they are four hundred short.’ So he took an ox goad and slew the whole of them. He routed them …

Whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. John 5:24
D.L. MOODYA man once prayed for me that I might obtain eternal life at last. I could not have said “Amen” to that. I obtained eternal life over forty years ago when I was converted. What is the “gift of God,” if it is not eternal life? And what makes the gospel such good news? Is it not that it offers eternal life to every poor sinner who will take it?
ERWIN LUTZEREternal life starts the moment we believe and continues into eternity. …

Only the high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people. Hebrews 9:7
D.L. MOODYLook at the Roman soldier as he pushed his spear into the very heart of the God-man. What a hellish deed! But what was the next thing that took place? Blood covered the spear! Oh! Thank God, the blood covers sin. The very crowning act of sin brought out the crowning act of love; the crowning act of wickedness was the crowning act of grace.

Our Father. Matthew 6:9
D.L. MOODYIf you ask me why God should love us, I cannot tell. I suppose it is because He is a true Father. It is His nature to love; just as it is the nature of the sun to shine.
ERWIN LUTZERWhat Moody doesn’t tell us here is that his own father was an alcoholic who died when Moody was about nine years old. Perhaps this is why the fact that God is our Heavenly Father was so precious to Moody. He didn’t have a father on Earth who loved him, but he did …

No one will take your joy from you. John 16:22
D.L. MOODYIn the second century, they brought a martyr before a king, and the king asked him to recant and give up Christ, but the man spurned the thought. The king said, “If you don’t do it, I will banish you.” The man smiled and answered: “You can’t banish me from Christ. He says He will never leave me nor forsake me” (Hebrews 13:5). The king got angry and said: “Well, I will confiscate your property and take it all from you.” And the man replied: “My treasures are …

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:4
D.L. MOODYIn Exodus, we read that when Moses had finished the tabernacle in the desert, the Shekhinah glory came and filled it with the presence of God—that was the Holy Spirit. The moment the tabernacle was ready, it was filled. And when the temple was built, and the priests and the Levites were there singing with one accord, the cloud came and filled the temple; the moment the temple was ready, it was filled.These were two of His dwelling places; but where does He dwell now? Ye …

But I see four men unbound, walking in the midst of the fire. Daniel 3:25
D.L. MOODYIt does my heart good to think that the worst the devil can do is to burn off the bonds of God’s children. If Christ be with us, the worst afflictions can only loosen our earthly bonds and set us free to soar higher.
ERWIN LUTZERNebuchadnezzar promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to high positions in his land. But due to an ego problem, he set up an image of himself (Daniel 3:5). When these three men wouldn’t bow to the image, the …
