Jottings From Bible Margins

TWO BIRTHDAYS are recorded in Scripture-Pharaoh’s, Gen 40:20, and Herod’s, Mat 14:6. On both of these a man was put to death. E. C. D.

SERVICE.

Serve the Lord with all thine heart (Deu 10:12); serve Him without fear (Luk 1:74); serve the Lord with gladness (Psa 100:2); serve Him with a willing mind (1Ch 28:9); serve with pure conscience (2Ti 1:3); serve God acceptably with reverence (Heb 12:28); serving the Lord with all humility (Acts 20:19).

ORDINANCES. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by lore,Gal 5:6. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature,Gal 6:15.

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God, 1Co 7:19. THE FATHER. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me, draw him, John 6:44. THE SON. No man cometh unto the Father but by me, John 14:6. THE HOLY GHOST. No man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Ghost, 1Co 12:3.

PERFECTION.

God’s work, is perfect (Deu 32:4), His way is perfect (Psa 18:30), His will is perfect (Rom 12:2).
