WELCOME!

Below are some of my favorite passages from the Bible

Note:  Words in bold text are the words of  JESUS

Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
(John 1:46)

If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
(Mark 7:16)

Jesus cried and said,
He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
I am come a light into the world,
that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not:
for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
(John 12:44-47)

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin;
but the Spirit is life because of righteousness
(Romans 8:10)

But as it is written,
Eye hath not seen,
nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart of man,
the things which God hath prepared
for them that love him.
(1 Corinthians 2:9)

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me in all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
(Psalm 23)

John indeed baptized with water;

(Proverbs 15:1)

We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
(1 Corinthians 15:51-52)

But love ye your enemies, and do good,
and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great,
and ye shall be the children of the Highest:
for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged:
condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned:
forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
(Luke 6:35-37)

For our conversation is in heaven;
from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall change our vile body,
that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body,
according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
(Philippians 3:20-21)

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved,
bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind,
meekness, longsuffering;
Forbearing one another,
if any man have a quarrel against any:
even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
And above all these things, put on charity,
which is the bond of perfectness.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts,
to the which also ye are called in one body;
and be ye thankful.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
teaching and admonishing one another
in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed,
do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
(Colossians 3:12-17)

And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

but against principalities,
against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places."

and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

and declare unto you,
that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

LOVE

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.
God is love;
and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
(1 John 4:16)

Thou shalt not avenge,
Nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people,
but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself:
I am the Lord

that a man lay down his life for his friends.
(John 15:13)

Love your enemies,
bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you,
and pray for them with despitefully use you, and persecute you;
(Matthew 5:44)

A new commandment I give unto you,
That ye love one another;
As I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
And walk in love,
as Christ also hath loved us,
(Ephesians 5:1-2)

Husbands, love your wives,
even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
(Ephesians 5:25)

Beloved, let us love one another:
for love is of God;
And every one that loveth is born of God,
and knoweth God.
He that loveth not knoweth not God;
for God is love.
In this was manifested the love of God towards us,
because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world,
that we might live through him.
Herein is love, not that we loved God,
but that he loved us,
and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.
Beloved,
if God so loved us,
we ought also to love one another.
No man hath seen God at any time.
If we love one another, God dwelleth in us,
and his love is perfected in us.
(1 John 4:7-12)

FAITH

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
(Hebrews 11:1)

Daughter, be of good comfort, thy faith hath made thee whole.
And the woman was made whole from that hour.

Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
And he said, Come.
And when Peter was come down out of the ship,
he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid;
and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him,
and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
(Matthew 14:31)

And the Lord said,
If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed,
ye might say unto this sycamore tree,
Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea,
and it should obey you.
(Luke 17:6)

But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not:
and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
(Luke 22:32)

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith:
as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
(Romans 1:17)

Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly,
his faith is counted for righteousness.

If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God.

FORGIVENESS

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)

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
(Psalm 32:1)

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive;
and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
(Psalm 86:5)

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.
(1 John 1:8-9)
