  4. For with God we look not for the order of nature, but rest our faith in the power of him who works.

  6. We ache in eager anticipation as we see Christ in action and as we take in the snapshots of his life, death, and resurrection.

  8. Both now and forever, the bruised and crucified Lord nailed to a cross is our assurance of deliverance.
  9. Every day is a Sabbath for Christians. Every day is the day the Lord has made. Every day is a day to find rest in Christ.
  10. Righteousness before God is possessed only by grace and that through the currency of faith.
