Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so also you must love one another. John 13:34
This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.” My brothers and sisters in Christ, this has not and will not ever change. “Let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.”
Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interest of others. Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:4-5
“If there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation from love, any sharing in the Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, make my joy complete; be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. For even Christ did not live to please himself.”
O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth! Psalm 8:9
“O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us, none can compare to You. if I would proclaim and declare of them, they are more than could be numbered.”
For the needy will not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed. Psalm 9:18
“Now, Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You. I depend on you, and I have trusted You since I was young. I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You. I am counting on the Lord; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in His word. I wait patiently for Him.”
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. Galatians 2:20
“Only live your life in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent and hear about you, I will know that you are standing firm in one spirit, striving side by side with one mind for the faith of the gospel, and are in no way intimidated by your opponents. For them this is evidence of their destruction, but of your salvation. And this is God’s doing.”
The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity. Psalm 5:5
“There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who utters lies, and one who spreads strife among brothers. Therefore, the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.”
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23
“Genuine righteousness leads to life, but the pursuit of evil brings death. Many have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, depravity, envy, murder, malice and strife; and although they know God’s righteous decree, that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them.”
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. Proverbs 14:12
“What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things resulted in death! You spent money on that which was not bread, and you labored on that which did not satisfy. You have sown wheat and have reaped thorns.” My brothers and sisters in Christ, we can no longer bear the shame of our harvest; we must sow good seeds, in order that we may reap fruits that lead to holiness and everlasting life in Christ Jesus.
“Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living.”
Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So, use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God. Romans 6:13
