Nature of a Servant

6 Who, being in very nature God,
    did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
    by taking the very nature of a servant,
    being made in human likeness.

~ Philippians 2:6-7 (NIV)

Blot Out Your Sins...

“I—yes, I alone—will blot out your sins for my own sake and will never think of them again. ~ Isaiah 43:25 (NLT)

Redeemed...

For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 

~ ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:18-19‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. ~ 1 Corinthians 1:10 (NIV 1984)

Eternal Life

I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”

~ John 10:28-30 (NIV)

As Far as the East Is from the West...

~ Micah 6:8 (NIV)

Wisdom...

I have directed you in the way of wisdom;
I have led you in upright paths.

And if you run, you will not stumble.
13 Take hold of instruction; do not let go.
Guard her, for she is your life.
~ Proverbs 4:11-13 (NASB)

He Will Never Leave You

“Never will I leave you;
    never will I forsake you.”

~ Hebrews 13:5 (NIV)

Cleanse Them...

The Fellowship of the Believers

42 All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer.

43 A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders.44 And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. 45 They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need.46 They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity— 47 all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved. ~ Acts 2:42-47 (NLT)

If It Is the Lord's Will...

13 Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”
~ James 4:13-15 (NIV)

Will Never Remember...

And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.” ~ Hebrews 8:12 (NLT)

Wait for Hope...

11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.

~ Titus 2:11-15 (NIV)

Trust in the Lord

6 Surely the righteous will never be shaken;
    they will be remembered forever.
7 They will have no fear of bad news;
    their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.

~ Psalm 112:6-7 (NIV)

He Will Guide...

“I will lead the blind by a way they do not know,
In paths they do not know I will guide them.
I will make darkness into light before them
And rugged places into plains.
These are the things I will do,
And I will not leave them undone.”

~ Isaiah 42:16 (NASB)

Be Humble and Gentle

1As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 

~ Ephesians 4:1-6 (NIV) 

No Longer Strangers...

19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit. 

~ Ephesians 2:19-22 (NASB)

Crave Pure Spiritual Milk

1Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. 2Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,3now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. ~ 1 Peter 2:1-3 (NIV)

Press On...

12 Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. ~ Philippians 3:12-14 (NASB)

He Cares for You

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. 

~ ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:7‬ (‭NIV)‬‬

Come and Worship

Who will not fear you, Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed. 

~ ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭15:4‬ ‭(NIV)‬‬

Atoning Sacrifice

My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. ~ ‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:1-2‬ (‭NIV)‬‬

Do Not Love the World...

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. ~ ‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:15-16‬ (NIV)‬‬

No More Mourning...

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. ~ ‭‭Revelation ‭21:4‬ (‭NIV)‬‬

He is Faithful and Just

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

‭‭~ 1 John‬ ‭1:9‬ ‭(NIV‬‬)

Victory...

Where there is no guidance the people fall,
But in abundance of counselors there is victory.
~ Proverbs 11:14 (NASB)

Justice, Mercy, Compassion

“This is what the Lord Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another.

~ Zechariah 7:9 (NIV)
