Mr. Higgins reads from Luke 10:17-20 and focuses on the joy of having one's "names written in heaven" in God's "Book of Life" (also called "the Lamb's Book"), emphasizing that God alone does the writing, signifying indelible redemption through Christ's blood, bringing forgiveness and justification. He underscored that this eternal record provides present assurance and eternal security for all who trust Christ as their Savior.

Based upon Luke 18:9-14, Mr. Alcala explains the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, contrasting the Pharisee's self-righteous prayer to himself with the tax collector's humble plea for mercy, "God, be merciful to me a sinner." He stresses that salvation is not earned by good works or self-justification, but is a gift of God's mercy to those who acknowledge their sinfulness and rely solely on Christ's atoning sacrifice on the cross for forgiveness.
