Ephesians 4
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
There is no separation in heaven. If we cannot accept the scriptures above, and do them
Why in thunder and lightning does everyone say they want to go to heaven?
Jesus is not a fire insurance plan, to get out of hell. He is Holy and Righteous. By reading the Bible faithfully, we know what He expects from us while we are still here on earth. Get your finger out of Genesis and read the Gospels of the New Testament.
The Christian life is not a Hollywood movie. There's lots of those huh? Well that is a poor representation of what God is like and what heaven will look like. What is inside this Bible is where those answers come from. Study the God man, Jesus; all God and all man. He came to earth so we could not only see, but touch Him.
We need to walk into Matthew 25 and figure out which one we are NOW, so we don't get a big shock at heavens gate. Sheep, Shepherd, Goat. Matthew 25:46
There's a whole lot of bad stuff going on now. Clearly, prophesy is racing along. How many of you know what comes next? What will be fulfilled next?
When I met Jesus, and took the Holy Spirits hand; I was reunited with a lonely 5 yr old child that played, the wisdom of the ants, with Someone who was real. I will never stray again!
Why do you not listen to those who were in Gods presence living a miracle? Do our testimonies mean nothing to you? There's a link to testimonies on This Website. Did you read any yet?
You'll never know God till you read His Bible. Isaiah 1:18, wouldn't you love to have all your arguments and sins, washed away forever? To love Jesus who did that for us? clean as snow.
Annette T Ford Isaiah 3 This is not a really good time in history for Gods chosen people, they were going after idolatrous practices and worship and displaying total arrogance against God. The daughter of Zion is a figure of speech for Israel, when you look ar Isaiah 1:10-19 God explains how Israel is being like whore with her idolatrous worship and yet in verses 16-19 if you repent of your works I'll deliver you. Many times when God delivered the children of Israel in time they went back to worshipping other gods. God Bless
Hi Annette At the time the prophet Isaiah was called by God to tell Israel to repent of all there idolatrous practices which were many and horrible. The term daughters of zion is a figure of speech to represent Israel. All of there modes of worship at that time were idolatrous pagan practices in Isaiah 1:13 the statement I cannot away with literally means I cannot tolerate it any more. Being the forgiving and loving God he is he tells them in verses 16-19 get your act together and I will heal you and the land, verse 20 but if you don't this will happen. Throughout the old testament the children of Israel were stiffnecked and defiant but God always keep His covenant and promises God is always faithful to His Word. God Bless
THE WORD IN YOUR MOUTH IS TWO-EDGED - In Reply - 3 years ago
I am not bragging! When I say that for 30 years Satan and his goons (demons) have tried to frighten and kill me. I got mad and read everything available to fight back. Actually I found the answer in the Bible. It's when Jesus was on that 40 day fast. EVERY TIME SATAN TEMPTED JESUS, Jesus returned that assault WITH THE RIGHT SCRIPTURE. He defeated Satan on every assault. He didn't get upset, scream or call out the angels. He SPOKE THE WORD OF GOD.
That told me right there, I needed to load up on scriptures that would answer and defeat every demonic attack. If our loved ones get sick or any other reason, our ARSENAL OF SCRIPTURE will defeat the Enemy.
We need to be 100% convinced that what comes out of our mouth is STRONG ENOUGH to defeat Satan. Satan thinks we are brain damaged and that he can use the same weapons every time and that it will work again. He needs to get hit with the WORD OF GOD IN OUR HEARTS AND MOUTH.
"He sent His Word and healed them". There is NO condemnation to those who are IN CHRIST JESUS." Satan tries to convince us that we are dirty with sin, but we are covered in the Holy Blood of Jesus! Isaiah 1:18; 43:25. In Jesus, we are not guilty.
The SEARCH ENGINE on this website will find numerous scriptures on just the word, HEAL, HEALED, DELIVERED. All we have to do is memorize that verse and add it to our arsenal for Prayer, Intercession, watchtower duties, standing in the gap, building up hedges of protection.
Jesus Provides us WITH HIS PERSONAL ARMOR. Ephesians 6. Just like David and Jonathan did; they swapped armor in their covenant. Jesus took our weaknesses, sin, plastic swords and GAVE US HIS ARMOR. I'd rather go into spiritual warfare with His armor any day. Isaiah 26:3
In Isaiah 14:11, 16-17 when people see Satan they're going to see short, covered in worms and say, " is this the man (he was created by God) that made the earth to tremble, the world a wilderness?

Repent. You're on dangerous ground.
The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.
Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7
Isaiah 6:8
Romans 1:20
Colossians 2:9
Acts 17:27-30
1 John 5:7
John 10:30
"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:"
Genesis 1:1
The Father purposes
The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)
The Spirit (Holy Spirit) performs the spoken word. Action.
God is spirit. The Holy Spirit is spirit.
Jesus is Son of Man.
Anything that is not Truth__is a LIE. We know who the Father of Lies is (Satan).
Lie is the name of a demon. Reading this is going to seriously disturb "it". If you tolerate its presence, it will let others come inside too. Matthew 12
You need to get on YouTube and watch THE AUTHORITY of the believer in Jesus Christ. All of them.
You need to say, The Blood of Jesus has made me whiter than snow. Isaiah 1:18.
Fight this. Rid your house of any contamination: books, alcoholic drink, pharmaceuticals, the Holy Spirit will show you.
Raquel, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.
The ones who die in unbelief will at some point in time be resurrected back in their bodies of flesh and will be JUDGED IN CHRIST and will BE IN CHRIST.
Isaiah 1:26 I will restore thy judges (ones in first resurrection)as at the first, and thy counsellors (ones in first resurrection) as at the beginning: afterwards (second resurrection; after they or judged IN CHRIST) thou shalt be called, the city of RIGHTEOUSNESS, the FAITHFUL city.
Isaiah 26:9 .....for when thy JUDGEMENTS are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world WILL LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Isaiah 61:11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, so the Lord God WILL CAUSE RIGHTEOUSNESS and PRAISE to spring forth before ALL the nations.
Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise (ones in the first resurrection) shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they (ones in first resurrection) shall turn many (ones in second resurrection) to RIGHTEOUSNESS as the stars for ever and ever.
Hi, I am thinking about this too as of course te thought brought out is not in the Bible, but what remains, God's Word is true. Adam and Eve learned this in their error. Likewise now knowing that God's Word is true, they were promised a future by faith which is hope. The same understanding conveys the sinner to faith and repentance in the promised Messiah, Jesus Christ. Why would Adam and Eve not believe the Promise and live towards it in faith? They surely did and likewise any sinner can know that God's Word is true and be conveyed to Calvary where they can choose to surrender their works to finished work of Jesus Christ which is Hope eternal.
I was told that Adam and Eve tried numerous times to commit suicide after being thrust from the Garden of Eden. Is this true? Can you direct me to scriptures documenting this?
God is very meticulous when it comes to having a complete cannon of scriptures in the 66 books of the bible. Be careful who you choose to believe . The devil uses people to tell you there are missing books of the bible. But God is a able to preserve his word that the man of God may be thoroughly furnished. It is not a coincidence that Isaiah has 66 chapters corresponding to the 66 books of the bible. Isaiah 1:2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. Genesis 1 And God said let there be... and the heavens and earth listened and gave ear and came into existence. The biggest division in the bible is between the old testament and the new testament. 39 in the old 27 in the new. So If Isaiah chapter 39 represents he last book of the old testament and chapter 40 represents the first book of the new testament then there should be a division between chapters 39 and 40 and there is. Chapters 36 -39 all talk about Hezekiah but in chapter 40 the subject dramatically changes and the subject is the voice of one crying in the wilderness which just happens to be how the new testament starts with John the Baptist being the voice crying in the wilderness. The last chapter of Isaiah... For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. Last book of the Bible And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 66 Books preserved and kept by the power of God. There is nothing more important to God than his Word.
William, may the Spirit grace you with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.
You say that it's up to you to choose, by the free will he has given you; is it really your choice or His choice.
Scripture says that ALL is HIS WORKS. Do you believe this.
John 15:16 You have not chosen me; but I have chosen you.
1 Corinthians 4:7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? And what hast thou that thou DID NOT RECEIVE? Now if thou didst receive it, why doest thou glory, as if thou hast not received it.
1 Peter 1:21 Who (you) by him (Holy Spirit, Christ in you) do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory, that YOUR FAITH (the FAITH OF CHRIST) and hope might be in God.
Galatians 2:16 KNOWING that a man is not justified by the works of the law (the works of man's hands), but by THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST, even we have believed (BY HIM) in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST, and not by the works of the law (the works of man's hands): for by the works of the law (the works of man's hands) shall no flesh be justified.
Philippians 1:9 For unto you it is GIVEN in the behalf of Christ, not only to BELIEVE on him; but also to suffer for his sake.
Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD THAT WORKETH IN YOU both to WILL and do of his good pleasure.
Ephesians 1:11 In whom (in Christ) also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to THE PURPOSE OF HIM who WORKETH ALL THINGS after the council of HIS WILL:
(vs 12) That we should be to the praise of his glory, who (by HIM) first trusted in Christ.
He is not calling everyone right now; only those that have been chosen to rule and judge the nations with him.
Psalms 2:10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings, ye judges of the earth.
Isaiah 1:26 I will restore thy judges as at the first......
Obadiah 21 And saviours shall come upon mount Zion to JUDGE the mount of Esau (sold their birthright for things of the flesh); and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.
We are instructed to believe Jesus came 2000 years ago and said, "Repent: for the kingdom of Heaven (on earth) is at hand" Matt 4:17. At hand means within reach. If we were to believe that we are waiting for the first coming of Jesus that explains the condition of human kind today. It also explains why Christianity has failed to convince all people to repent and bring heaven to earth. It explains why we have 3000 divisions within Christianity when truth should be the same for all people. It explains why many of those divisions will marry and ordain the gays, even thought they know God destroyed S&G. Even though they know God never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Jesus brings a law, the Law of the New Covenant and he tell us who needs to listen to the Law. Isaiah 1:10: "Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. This is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord" When we put these lying children behind the pulpit we hear no truth. But Jesus will be the truth made flesh. His truth will heal our land.
Acts 17: 30, "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commanded all men every where to repent."
Repentance is the trans of a Greek word metanoia-mentanoeo, meaning to "have another mind", "to change the mind", "a change of mind in respect to sin, of God, and of self."
Rev. 3:19, "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent."
God does love all humans and he comes to teach people to hate evil and to repent." The day of the Lord will come. I just don't see any evidence that he came 2000 years ago.
Thank you very much, Mishael & Chris. Sometime later, I too realized that I had come to the END of the chapters!! The only option was to proceed to the next chapter.
I happen to have a hardback version of NRSV: if I had only gone to another room to check it, I would have realized my mistake!
When you first enter the website you will first see TWO search boxes.
Pick the top one if you want to search a subject like "water baptism" or anything else that interests you.
Use the 2nd search box to read a particular book and chapters. You will see above the website Bible these symbols: < or >, to go to the next page or to go backwards.
The Books of Isaiah (& Joshua, which you enquired about) have only those verses in the chapters you mentioned. After the last verse you see, you will need to continue to read the Book in the following chapter(s). Are you asking this because you have seen more verses associated with these chapters? Unless you have manuscripts pre-12th Century, it would be impossible to get a Bible without chapters & verses.
The Holy Spirits Ministry to you by Mishael - In Reply on Hebrews 10 - 3 years ago
JOHN 16
The Work of the Holy Spirit
"I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. 5But now I am going to him (Father) who sent me, and none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' 6But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper (HOLY SPIRIT) will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. 8And when HE comes, HE will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9concerning sin, because they do not believe in ME; 10concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; 11concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world (Satan) is judged.
12"I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13When the Spirit of truth comes, HE will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he HEARS, he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
Other passages that will help you to get back in step with the Holy Spirit:
2 Titus
1 John 1, particularly the prayer in verse 9
Isaiah 1:16-19
If we stubbornly persist in satisfying fleshly over-indulgence, sex sins, copying worldly ways of living, etc. we KNOW when we are falling away.
The Holy Spirit comes to convict you; to do His Work again. That "knowing" that you sense in your spirit, is HIM. So listen and do respond to His urging.
Another thing we are to do: is to move from "baby Christian" to growing up in Christ. Not reading in the New Testament of the Bible, leaves us vulnerable. Decide who you are following: the world, or the Lord, Jesus? The Holy Spirit is your TEACHER. Ask him your questions. Listen
We are one in Christ. Judgement is for those that reject our Jesus. Righteousness shall be accounted to those that cry ABBA father. to those that are converted. Glory to God in the highest. There is no God Like Jehovah
According to Revelation ( Revelation 2:14), Balaam told King Balak how to get the Israelites to commit sin by enticing them with sexual immorality and food sacrificed to idols. The Israelites fell into transgression due to these traps and God sent a deadly plague to them as a result ( Numbers 31:16).
That was then, today is the now. We have the salvation of Jesus Christ with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to help us avoid pitfalls that lead to sin. We have the Bible to show us how to follow Jesus.
The Book of Romans is a good place to start, but I think John chapter 3 is. When no one wants to be our friend; you will always have a friend in Jesus.
Some people have had real life experiences with the awesome Love of God. I always thought God was way way up in the sky somewhere. I didn't think he could hear me asking for help. But I found out that is not true. He is as close as your next breath. He cares about all of our needs. We just have to begin some conversations with Him...called praying. He talks to people but it's best to be born again ( John 3), so you can get your ears tuned to His Voice.
See if Isaiah 1:18 is desirable to you.
When I first came in here I read a lot of posts on the Testimonies Link. Many have posted how the came to believe in Jesus. Everyone of those is a real person.
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. ( Isaiah 1:18)
If you sincerely put your trust in Jesus Christ knowing that he, being the sinless Son of God, laid his life down to pay for our sins, was crucified, dead and buried, and then raised from the dead, you will be saved and fully forgiven.
He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. ( Psalm 103:10-12)
But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. ( Acts 13:37-39)
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. ( Romans 3:23-26)
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ( 1 John 1:9)
Wendall, may the Spirit grace you with understanding, the scriptures referring to the leaves of the tree are in Isaiah 6 and Ezekiel 47 and Revelation 22. These are prophesies about the Sons of God (us). Christ is the Tree of Life; therefore, we also become trees (of life). John 15: Abide in me and I in you. At our physical death we (children or the resurrection) shall put on Christ (BECOME ONE). 1 Corinthians 6:2-3 ......the saints shall judge the world......know ye not that we shall judge angels... the leaves (us) of the TREE (Christ) shall be for the healing of the nations (all mankind).
Psalms 22:27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
Isaiah 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.
1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the saviour of all men, specially those that believe.
1 Corinthians 2:9 For it is written ( Isaiah 64:4), Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath entered into the heart (mind) of man, the things God hath prepared for them that love him.
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

We need to be 100% convinced that what comes out of our mouth is STRONG ENOUGH to defeat Satan. Satan thinks we are brain damaged and that he can use the same weapons every time and that it will work again. He needs to get hit with the WORD OF GOD IN OUR HEARTS AND MOUTH.
"He sent His Word and healed them". There is NO condemnation to those who are IN CHRIST JESUS." Satan tries to convince us that we are dirty with sin, but we are covered in the Holy Blood of Jesus! Isaiah 1:18; 43:25. In Jesus, we are not guilty.

In Isaiah 14:11, 16-17 when people see Satan they're going to see short, covered in worms and say, " is this the man (he was created by God) that made the earth to tremble, the world a wilderness?
Fight back like Jesus did, with THE WORD IN YOU.
It's not going to be accidental. You'll be given a choice. The Mark, or Death.
The Mark guarantees us eternity in hell (at the end).
So maybe when you were a teenager and thought it would be cool to wear black robes and attend orgies, black mass's, etc.
Now is a good time to read Isaiah 1:18-20. Only the Blood of Jesus can cleanse that off of you.
We aren't going to be able to chop off our hands and remove the Mark of the Beast.
Pride is a sin that the Bible says God hates. Take His Son, Jesus instead. Your reward will be eternal Life. Don't allow Pride to rob you.
Everyone is going to bow their knee to the NAME OF JESUS. Either it will be with Joy everlasting; or with the pain of eternal Separation.
Who will you choose?
Covid shots have nothing to do with this. Just be glad you don't live in Texas with Thousands of people who have Covid, crossing your borders DAILY.
Why? Because Biden, Beto and Kamala hate Our Governor and Jesus Christ. See guys? We are in the Last Days!

No that's not in scripture .

Is so can you share with us the means for it? "Salvation ".
Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you. God bless.

Repentance is the trans of a Greek word metanoia-mentanoeo, meaning to "have another mind", "to change the mind", "a change of mind in respect to sin, of God, and of self."
Rev. 3:19, "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent."
God does love all humans and he comes to teach people to hate evil and to repent." The day of the Lord will come. I just don't see any evidence that he came 2000 years ago.
I hope that explains my
Words: Fanny Crosby, 1887
"Though your sins be as scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though your sins be as scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they be red like crimson,
They shall be as wool!"
"Though your sins be as scarlet,
Though your sins be as scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow,
They shall be as white as snow."
Lord, my sins they are many, like the sands of the sea,
But Thy blood, O my Savior, is sufficient for me;
For Thy promise is written, in bright letters that glow,
"Though your sins be as scarlet, I will make them like snow."
IS MY NAME WRITTEN THERE? (hymn title)
"in the Lamb's book of life." Revelation 21:27

Jesus Paid it All
1) I hear the Savior say, "Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in Me thine all in all."
Refrain: Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
I happen to have a hardback version of NRSV: if I had only gone to another room to check it, I would have realized my mistake!

The Work of the Holy Spirit
"I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. 5But now I am going to him (Father) who sent me, and none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' 6But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper (HOLY SPIRIT) will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. 8And when HE comes, HE will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9concerning sin, because they do not believe in ME; 10concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; 11concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world (Satan) is judged.
12"I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13When the Spirit of truth comes, HE will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he HEARS, he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
Other passages that will help you to get back in step with the Holy Spirit:
2 Titus
1 John 1, particularly the prayer in verse 9
Isaiah 1:16-19
If we stubbornly persist in satisfying fleshly over-indulgence, sex sins, copying worldly ways of living, etc. we KNOW when we are falling away.
The Holy Spirit comes to convict you; to do His Work again. That "knowing" that you sense in your spirit, is HIM. So listen and do respond to His urging.
Another thing we are to do: is to move from "baby Christian" to growing up in Christ. Not reading in the New Testament of the Bible, leaves us vulnerable. Decide who you are following: the world, or the Lord, Jesus? The Holy Spirit is your TEACHER. Ask him your questions. Listen
That was then, today is the now. We have the salvation of Jesus Christ with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to help us avoid pitfalls that lead to sin. We have the Bible to show us how to follow Jesus.
The Book of Romans is a good place to start, but I think John chapter 3 is. When no one wants to be our friend; you will always have a friend in Jesus.
Some people have had real life experiences with the awesome Love of God. I always thought God was way way up in the sky somewhere. I didn't think he could hear me asking for help. But I found out that is not true. He is as close as your next breath. He cares about all of our needs. We just have to begin some conversations with Him...called praying. He talks to people but it's best to be born again ( John 3), so you can get your ears tuned to His Voice.
See if Isaiah 1:18 is desirable to you.
When I first came in here I read a lot of posts on the Testimonies Link. Many have posted how the came to believe in Jesus. Everyone of those is a real person.
If you sincerely put your trust in Jesus Christ knowing that he, being the sinless Son of God, laid his life down to pay for our sins, was crucified, dead and buried, and then raised from the dead, you will be saved and fully forgiven.
He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. ( Psalm 103:10-12)
But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. ( Acts 13:37-39)
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. ( Romans 3:23-26)
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ( 1 John 1:9)
Psalms 22:27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
Isaiah 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.
1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the saviour of all men, specially those that believe.
1 Corinthians 2:9 For it is written ( Isaiah 64:4), Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath entered into the heart (mind) of man, the things God hath prepared for them that love him.
