“The light shines in the darknessand the darkness did not overcome it. He was in the world and the world came into being through him. He came to his own, and his own people did not accept him.”
“But to all who received him, to them he gave power to become children of God, who were born not of blood or the will of the flesh, or of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.”
If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us. 1 John 1:10
“If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you that God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:5
“If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.”
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched; this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The Life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. 1 John
“We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete.”
The Lord your God is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory, He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will renew you in His love He will exult over you with loud singing as on a day of festival. Zephaniah 3
“I will remove disaster from you, so that you will not bear reproach for it. I will deal with your oppressors at that time, and I will save the lame from the outcast and will change their shame into praise and make them renown in all the earth.”
Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, rejoice! Philippians 4:1
“The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer, and supplication, and with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God; and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
