Making peace by the blood of his cross. Colossians 1:20
D.L. MOODYA great many people are trying to make their peace with God, but that has already been done. God has not left it for us to do; all that we have to do is to enter into it, to accept it. It is a condition, and instead of our trying to make peace and to work for peace, we should cease all that and simply enter into peace that has been purchased for us.

The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. Revelation 21:7
D.L. MOODYI used to have my Sabbath-school children sing, “I want to be an angel;” but I have not done so for years. We shall be above angels: we shall be sons of God. Just see what a kingdom we shall come into. We shall inherit all things! Do you ask me how much I am worth? I don’t know. The Rothschilds cannot compute their wealth. They don’t know how many millions they own. That is my …

For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” Romans 8:15
D.L. MOODYI want to say very emphatically that I have no sympathy with the doctrine of universal brotherhood and universal fatherhood; I don’t believe one word of it. If a man lives in the flesh and serves the flesh, he is a child of the devil. That is pretty strong language, but it is what Christ said. It brought down a hornet’s nest on His head, and …

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock. Isaiah 26:3–4
D.L. MOODYAs long as our mind is stayed on our dear selves, we will never have peace. Some people think more of themselves than of all the rest of the world. It is self in the morning, self at noon, and self at night. It is self when they wake up and self when they go to bed. They are all the time looking at themselves and …

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9
D.L. MOODYI do not know of any more important truth to bring before an unconverted person than the answer to the question, “What must I do to be saved?” because that is the beginning of everything with regard to the divine life. A man must know he is saved before there is any peace or joy or comfort. The answer is, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be …

I’m writing this on Wednesday morning. The election results have just been announced. It seems wise to reflect on how we as Christians ought to respond in this moment. Three main thoughts come to mind:
First, if the candidate you voted for won, this is a good time to remember what Psalm 146:3 says, “Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.” No matter how enthusiastic our support for a candidate, as followers of Jesus, our deepest and final trust is reserved for God alone. Idolatry is sneaky. We must keep …

For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Romans 8:7
D.L. MOODYJesus Christ, the purest being who ever came to this Earth to save mankind, was crucified. I believe if Gabriel should come down from heaven with all the glory of that upper world and try to save men, they would try to blacken his character inside of a week. The ungodly do not like the godly. The impure do not like the pure. There is enmity still. Men may make petty objections, …

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.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9
D.L. MOODYMen talk about grace but, as a rule, they know very little about it. Let a businessman go to a banker’s to borrow a few hundred dollars for 60 or 90 days. The banks give what they call “three days’ grace” after the 60 or 90 days, but they will make the borrower pay interest on the money during these three days, and if …

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1–2
D.L. MOODYA man may have wonderful knowledge, may be able to unravel the mysteries of the Bible, and yet be as cold as an icicle. He may glisten like the snow in the sun. Sometimes you have wondered why it was …
