Where the Real News is the Good News

so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

Surely God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid.
The LORD, the LORD himself, is my strength and my defense;
he has become my salvation.

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.

He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

For with God nothing shall be impossible.

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
