When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. John 16:13
D.L. MOODYThere is not a truth that we ought to know but the Spirit of God will guide us into it if we will let Him. If we will yield ourselves up to be directed by Him and let Him lead us, He will guide us into all truth. It would have saved us from …

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38–39
D.L. MOODYThere can be no true peace, there can be no true hope, there can be no true comfort, where there is uncertainty. I am not fit for God’s service, I cannot go out and work for God if I am in doubt about my own salvation.

On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” John 7:37–38
D.L. MOODYWhen a boy upon a farm in New England, we had a well, and I used to have to pump the water from that well on wash-day, and to water the cattle; and many a time I had to pump until my arm got tired. But they have a better way …

The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29
D.L. MOODYThere are many things which were dark and mysterious to me five years ago, on which I have since had a flood of light; and I expect to be finding out something fresh about God throughout eternity.I make a point of not discussing disputed passages of Scripture. An old divine has said that some people, if they want to eat fish, commence …

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17
D.L. MOODY“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit” (John 3:6), and a man can soon tell whether he is born of the Spirit by the change in his life. The Spirit of Christ is a Spirit of love, joy, peace, humility, and meekness, and we can soon find out whether we have been born of that Spirit or not; we are not to …

Visitors who want to walk where Jesus walked when visiting Israel discover that there are only a few such places. The city of Jerusalem has been destroyed and rebuilt so many times that the streets that Jesus walked on, for the most part, are 15 to 20 feet below the present surface.
But there are exceptions, and perhaps the most accessible is the first century steps that led into the temple during the time of Jesus. Mary and Joseph would have walked on these steps when they brought the baby Jesus to be blessed by Simeon, and here Jesus often …

God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it. Acts 2:24
D.L. MOODYI can imagine when they laid our Lord in Joseph’s tomb, one might have seen Death sitting over that sepulchre, saying, “I have Him; He is my victim. He said He was the Resurrection and the Life. Now I hold Him in my cold embrace. They thought He was never going to die; but see Him now. He has had to pay tribute to me.”Never! The glorious morning comes, the Son of Man bursts …

Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.” John 20:24–25
D.L. MOODYI often think that Thomas was the most unhappy man in Jerusalem during the week that followed. It would have been far more reasonable for him to have believed those who saw …

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.” John 11:25
D.L. MOODYWhen a young man, I was called upon suddenly, in Chicago, to preach a funeral sermon. A good many Chicago businessmen were to be there, and I said to myself,“Now, it will be a good chance for me to preach the gospel to those men, and I will get one of Christ’s funeral sermons.”I hunted all through the four Gospels trying to find one of Christ’s funeral sermons, but I couldn’t find …

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, Thus you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them, The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:22–26
D.L. MOODYI think these are about as sweet verses as we find in the Old Testament. I marked them years ago in my Bible, and many times I have turned to this chapter and read them. They remind …
