GOD'S PROMISE WHEN YOU
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
And such were some of you. But you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence through His faith.
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies having been washed with pure water.
And it will be, before they call I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.
Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners; and purify your hearts, double-minded ones.
Uphold me according to Your Word, that I may live; and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
For so says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity; whose name is Holy;
Ah, Lord Jehovah!
Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great recompense of reward.
When His disciples heard, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
And He asked his father, How long ago has it been since this came to him? And he said, From childhood.
If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done to you.
Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us;
And Jehovah is He who goes before you.
Jehovah is near to the broken-hearted; and saves those who are of a contrite spirit.
Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break out into singing, O mountains; for the Lord has comforted His people, and will have mercy on His afflicted.
And hope does not make us ashamed, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit given to us.
Do not fret yourself with evil doers; and do not be envious against the workers of iniquity.
Blessed are they who have been persecuted for righteousness sake!
In every way having been troubled, but not having been hemmed in; having been perplexed, but not utterly at a loss;
And who is the one who will harm you if you become imitators of the good?
Cast your burden on Jehovah, and He will keep you; He will never allow the righteous to waver.
For I, Jehovah your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, Do not fear; I will help you.
Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
Casting all your anxiety onto Him, for He cares for you.
Delight yourself also in Jehovah, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.
For Jehovah God is a sun and shield; Jehovah will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
Who satisfies your mouth with good; your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will also lead him, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
And evening coming on, they brought to Him many who had been possessed with demons.
I have spoken these things to you so that you might have peace in Me.
Is any sick among you?
I would have fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living.
Indeed to those who with patience in good work are seeking for glory, and honor, and incorruptibility, everlasting life.
But for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, as a pattern to those being about to believe on Him to life everlasting.
That you be not slothful, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you, My eye shall be on you.
And I will bring the blind by a way they knew not;
Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, I am the Light of the world.
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall be given to him.
But He knows the way that I take; when He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
No temptation has taken you but what is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but with the temptation also will make a way to escape, so that you may be able to bear it.
For in that He Himself has suffered, having been tempted, He is able to rescue those who are being tempted.
For we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted just as we are, yet without sin.
My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into different kinds of temptations, knowing that the trying of your faith works patience.
Let no one being tempted say, I am tempted from God. For God is not tempted by evils, and He tempts no one.
Be sensible and vigilant, because your adversary the Devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone he may devour;
Do not fear; for I am with you; be not dismayed; for I am your God.
So that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.
I will lie down, both in peace and in sleep. For You alone, Jehovah, make me dwell in safety.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Say to those of a hasty heart, Be strong, fear not; behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the full dealing of God. He will come and save you.
But in all these things we more than conquer through Him who loved us.
For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
So that we may boldly say, "The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me."
For the Son of Man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He shall reward each one according to his works.
Then Jesus said to the Jews who believed on Him, If you continue in My Word, you are My disciples indeed.
He who has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me.
But whoever looks into the perfect Law of liberty and continues in it, he is not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work.
And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life.
Now He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for eating, may He supply and multiply your seed, and increase the fruits of your righteousness you being enriched in everything to all generosity, which works out thanksgiving to God through us.
Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, forever. Amen.
But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
I beseech You, let Your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to Your Word to Your servant.
Blessed are they that mourn! For they shall be comforted.
Truly, truly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice.
And I heard a great voice out of Heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Jehovah delivers him out of them all.
Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him.
I have spoken these things to you so that you might have peace in Me.
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God.
For what glory is it if you patiently endure while sinning and being buffeted?
Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery trial which is to try you, as though a strange thing happened to you, but rejoice according as you are partakers of Christ's suffering, so that when His glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy.
Have I not commanded you?
But God commends His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.
For you have need of patience, so that after you have done the will of God you might receive the promise.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
(John 3:18)
Jesus said to her, I am the Resurrection and the Life!
But to him not working, but believing on Him justifying the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Whoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him and he in God.
