Luke 1:74, 75. Romans 5:2. [A]Romans, chaps. 6 and 8. 1 Corinthians 15:57. 2 Corinthians 2:14. 2 Corinthians 10:5. Ephesians 1:3, 4.

That Christ came as the Saviour from the _power_ as well as the _penalty_ of sin we see in Matthew 1:21, with John 8:34, 36, and Titus 2:14. =God's Provision= God knew the frailty of man, that his heart was "desperately wicked," that even his righteousness was "as filthy rags," that man's only hope for victory over sin must come from the God-ward side. He, therefore, made kingly provision so rich, so sufficient, so exceeding abundant, that as we study it, we feel we have tapped a mine of wealth, too deep to fathom. Just a few suggestions of its riches: God's _greatest_ provision is the gift of a part of His Own Being in the person of the Holy Spirit. The following are but some of the many things the Holy Spirit does for us, as recorded in the Word: He begets us into the family of God.--John 3:6. He seals or marks us as God's.--Eph. 1:13. He dwells in us.--1 Cor. 3:16. He unites us to Christ.--1 Cor. 12:13, 27. He changes us into the likeness of Christ.--2 Cor. 3:18. He helps in prayer.--Rom. 8:26. He comforts.--John 14:16. He guides.--Rom. 8:14. He strengthens with power.--Eph. 3:16. He is the source of power and fruitfulness.--John 7:38, 39. Some of the victorious _results_ in our life, as Christ has His way in us, are shown in: Romans 8:32, 27. Romans 15:13. 2 Corinthians 9:8, 11. 2 Corinthians 2:14. Ephesians 1:19. Ephesians 3:16, 20. Philippians 4:7, 13, 19. Colossians 1:11. 1 Peter 1:5. 2 Timothy 3:17. Jude 24. John 15:7. To the seeker for further Scripture help the writer would suggest a plan that has proved a great blessing to herself. Read the Psalms through, making careful record of all the statements of what the Lord was to the writers of the Psalms. The list will surprise you. Then on your knees go over them one by one, with the prayer that Christ may be to you what he was to David and the others.
