Notes
The source of a Christian's devotion and blamelessness lies in the one and only praise worthy Creator and Sustainer of all things. The holiness and blamelessness is true in the presence of God through the Christian's perfect agent of God the Fathers, who is His Son , the Lord Jesus Christ. God's infinite love is revealed in Jesus Christ. In Christ are all spiritual blessings true, such as being chosen by God before the foundation of the world. Thank you dear Father for blessing me, a sinner selfish and self-righteous, with all spiritual blessing. Thank you for choosing me to be holy and blameless in your sight. Thank you that you gave in love Your dear beloved Son, so that Your purpose for Your people and Your glory is accomplished. Thank you that You grand me in this blessing the ability to put an end to selfishness and to live in Your love.
