Faith Hope LoveThe true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.
John 1:9
Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
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
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.
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.
Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,
who walk according to the law of the Lord.
2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes
and seek him with all their heart—
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lionlooking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
This is what the Lord says—
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
who teaches you what is best for you,
who directs you in the way you should go.
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful;he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
John 8:32
The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:
“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.
Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you 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.
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.
You are my refuge and my shield;
I have put my hope in your word.
But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
Cast your cares on the Lord
and he will sustain you;
he will never let
the righteous be shaken.
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and[ will call him Immanuel.
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them.
Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe.
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
