“For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you, and surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

“Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith. Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.” What an awesome God is our God!

“But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children.. And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, ‘Abba, Father’. So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.”

“In Him we were also chosen as God’s own, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything by the counsel of His will; so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy, by His grace we have been saved.” Praise the Lord!

I have seen a wicked, ruthless man flourishing like a well-rooted native tree, but he soon passed away and was no more; though I looked for him, he could not be found. Consider the blameless, observe the upright; a future awaits those who seek peace; but all sinners will be destroyed; there will be no future for the wicked. Psalm 37

My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins. James 5:19-20

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will grant the right to eat from the tree of life in the paradise of God.

This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: “Stand at the gate of the Lord’s house and there proclaim this message. Hear the word of the Lord, all you people of Judah who come through these gates to worship the Lord.” Jeremiah 7:1-2

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.”

Even my best friend, the one I trusted completely, the one who shared my food, has turned against me. If an enemy were insulting me, I could endure it; if a foe were rising against me, I could hide. But it is you, a man like myself, my companion, my close friend, with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship at the house of God, as we walked about among the worshipers. Psalm 55
