The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in the Prophets:​​​"Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,​​Who will prepare Your way before You." "The voice of one crying in the wilderness:​'​Prepare the way of the LORD;​​Make His paths straight.' "

This small Psalm provides a picturesque description of the blessings and hope that accompany unity within Christ's church. How pleasant and good is it when brothers dwell together in unity. Unfortunately when that unity is absent or false unity that don't have the peace and purity of the church alongside, that pleasantness and goodness are absent. Pray for the peace, unity and purity of Christ's church for His glory.

Romans 5:5Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Psalm 65:4Blessed is the man You choose,And cause to approach You,That he may dwell in Your courts.We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,Of Your holy temple.

Romans 4:20-25He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. And therefore "it was accounted to him for righteousness."Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.

Romans 4:11-12And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also, and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while still uncircumcised.

Romans 4:5-8But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:​"Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,​​And whose sins are covered;​​Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin."
