John.3.16-John.3.17 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him." Phil.4.13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Rom.8.28-Rom.8.29 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Jer.29.11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Heb.11.1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Ps.37.4-Ps.37.5 Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act. Prov.3.5-Prov.3.6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Ps.118.24 This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. 2Tim.1.7 For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. Rom.5.8 But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. John.14.6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Matt.6.33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. John.10.10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. 1Pet.5.6-1Pet.5.8 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Ps.46.10 "Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" Phil.4.5-Phil.4.7 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Isa.53.4-Isa.53.5 Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. Rom.12.1-Rom.12.2 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. 2Chr.7.14 If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Matt.28.5-Matt.28.6 But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay." John.15.13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. Prov.16.3 Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established. Gal.6.9-Gal.6.10 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. Isa.40.30-Isa.40.31 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. Prov.4.23 Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. Rom.12.11-Rom.12.12 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 1Pet.1.3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.... Heb.13.8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Gen.1.1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2Cor.4.17-2Cor.4.18 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. Josh.1.9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." Phil.4.19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Jas.5.16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. Gal.2.20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Isa.41.10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Matt.6.34 "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Mic.6.8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? 2Cor.5.7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. Matt.19.26 But Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." 1Tim.4.12 Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. John.16.33 "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." 1John.4.18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. Ps.34.8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Heb.11.6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. Eph.3.20-Eph.3.21 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Matt.7.7-Matt.7.8 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened." Jas.4.7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Luke.2.29-Luke.2.32 "Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel." Ps.51.10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Isa.26.3 You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Ps.55.22 Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved. 1John.3.18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. Prov.17.22 A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. 1Cor.13.13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Luke.19.10 "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost." Ps.34.17-Ps.34.18 When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Zeph.3.17 The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing. John.14.27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. Ps.19.14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. Job.19.25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth. Mark.9.23 And Jesus said to him, "'If you can'! All things are possible for one who believes." Phil.4.8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. John.19.30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, "It is finished," and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. 2Cor.5.17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. John.3.30 "He must increase, but I must decrease." Eph.2.8-Eph.2.9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 2Cor.12.9-2Cor.12.10 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. Rom.10.9-Rom.10.10 Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. Prov.18.21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. Matt.11.28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Jer.33.3 Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. 1Pet.2.24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. Prov.16.9 The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps. 1John.1.9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Col.3.23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.... Jas.4.8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Ps.108.5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth! Mark.16.6 And he said to them, "Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him." 1Cor.2.9 But, as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him".... Rom.8.1-Rom.8.2 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. Ps.30.5 For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. Matt.5.16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Ps.4.8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. Rom.12.21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Ps.119.36 Incline my heart to your testimonies, and not to selfish gain! Rom.6.23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ps.14.1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none who does good. Prov.23.7 For he is like one who is inwardly calculating. "Eat and drink!" he says to you, but his heart is not with you. Rom.3.23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.... Prov.18.10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe. Ps.27.14 Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD! Acts.1.8 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." Prov.1.7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. Ps.46.1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Prov.29.18 Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law. Ps.16.11 You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. John.1.1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1Cor.1.18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. Ps.24.1 The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein.... Ps.120.2 Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. Phil.1.6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Rom.15.13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Rom.1.16-Rom.1.17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, "The righteous shall live by faith." Jas.1.19 Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.... Ps.16.1 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge. Rom.8.31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Eph.4.32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Ps.119.105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Prov.10.12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses. Prov.17.17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. John.11.25-John.11.26 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" Isa.54.17 "No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD and their vindication from me, declares the LORD." Col.3.2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Eph.6.10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Ps.19.1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Ps.27.1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 2Cor.5.21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Heb.13.2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Mark.11.23-Mark.11.24 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 1Sam.16.7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart." Jas.1.5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. John.15.5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. Ps.73.26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Prov.27.17 Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. Prov.19.21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand. Phil.2.14-Phil.2.15 Do all things without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.... Eph.2.10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Isa.43.1-Isa.43.2 But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you." Matt.5.44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.... Ps.31.24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD! John.14.1 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me." Prov.22.6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. Jas.1.27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. Prov.12.25 Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad. Gal.5.22-Gal.5.23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Eph.6.11-Eph.6.12 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ps.91.1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. Jas.2.17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. Luke.23.34 And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." And they cast lots to divide his garments. Isa.49.3 And he said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified." Luke.24.5-Luke.24.6 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee...." Heb.4.12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Rom.1.20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. Deut.6.5 You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. Col.3.15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Ps.24.10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory! Prov.10.22 The blessing of the LORD makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. Phil.3.13-Phil.3.14 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Matt.21.22 "And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith." Eph.4.29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. Ps.33.22 Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you. Col.4.5-Col.4.6 Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person. 1Cor.10.13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. Eccl.3.1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.... Prov.11.25 Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered. Luke.1.37 "For nothing will be impossible with God." Matt.28.19-Matt.28.20 "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." Ps.16.8 I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Ps.139.14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. 1Pet.4.8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Eph.4.15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ.... John.8.12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." Heb.7.25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. 1Thess.5.16-1Thess.5.17 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing.... Heb.12.1-Heb.12.2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Phil.2.3-Phil.2.4 Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 1John.4.8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. Gen.1.27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Rom.12.9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Col.4.2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. 1John.4.4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. Ps.115.1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness! Ps.10.12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand; forget not the afflicted. Luke.18.27 But he said, "What is impossible with men is possible with God." Prov.27.19 As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man. Jas.1.2-Jas.1.3 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. John.8.32 "And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." Ps.118.8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man. 1Cor.13.7-1Cor.13.8 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. Jer.29.13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. Prov.14.23 In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty. Gen.1.29 And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food." Prov.13.12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life. John.4.24 "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." Gen.1.26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." Ps.5.3 O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch. Heb.4.16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. 1Cor.15.57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Ps.23.6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Prov.15.1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Rom.15.7 Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. Isa.1.9 If the LORD of hosts had not left us a few survivors, we should have been like Sodom, and become like Gomorrah. Acts.4.12 "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." John.15.7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. Rom.8.18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. Ps.145.3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable. Ps.23.1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. Luke.23.46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" And having said this he breathed his last. Rom.13.8 Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. Rom.10.17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. Deut.31.6 "Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you." Lam.3.22-Lam.3.23 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Prov.3.3-Prov.3.4 Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man. Matt.22.37-Matt.22.38 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment." Phil.4.4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Rom.5.1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Josh.24.15 "And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." Isa.40.29 He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Jas.1.22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. John.20.29 Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Jude.1.3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.
