    If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.
    -- John 15:10 (NIV)

Quotation:
    We admit no faith to be justifying, which is not itself and in its own nature a spiritually vital principle of obedience and good works.

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, help me root out ineffective faith and seek only the faith that is united with obedience.
