Faith Hope LoveThe true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.
John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.
Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life,
but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a time of adversity.
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring itto pass.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
John 8:32
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
Blessed are those who keep his statutes
and seek him with all their heart—
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
The name of the Lord is a fortified tower;
the righteous run to it and are safe.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Cast your cares on the Lord
and he will sustain you;
he will never let
the righteous be shaken.
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.
Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Rejoice always, pray continually,
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword,it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mindtoward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
