| Isaiah 40:28-31 | Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. | ||
| Isaiah 66:1-2 | This is what the LORD says, “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be? Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?” declares the LORD. “This is the one I esteem – he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.” | ||
| Jeremiah 29:11-13 | “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” | ||
| Jeremiah 9:23-24 | This is what the LORD says, “Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this – that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the LORD. | ||
| Job 19:25-27 | I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes – I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me! | ||
| John 10:10-11 | The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. | ||
| Psalm 16:2-3 | I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.” As for the saints who are in the land, they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight. | ||
| Zephaniah 3:17 | The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing. | ||
|
|||
| Psalm 119:105 | Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. | ||
| Psalm 119:11 | I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. | ||
| 2 Timothy 3:16-17 | All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. | ||
| Amos 8:11 | “The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign LORD, “when I will send a famine through the land – not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.” | ||
| Deuteronomy 6:7-9 | Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. | ||
| Hebrews 4:12 | For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. | ||
|
|||
| 1 Timothy 6:6-8 | But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. | ||
| 2 Timothy 1:7 | For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. | ||
| Galatians 5:22-23 | But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. | ||
| John 13:14-15 | Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. | ||
|
|||
| 1 Peter 2:9 | But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. | ||
| 1 Peter 4:10 | Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms. | ||
|
|||
| 1 Corinthians 1:18 | For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. | ||
| Galatians 6:14 | May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. | ||
| John 3:14-17 | Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. | ||
|
|||
| Isaiah 53:3-4 | He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. | ||
| Isaiah 53:5-6 | But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. | ||
| John 1:12 | Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. | ||
| John 3:16 | For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. | ||
| Romans 1:16 | I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes – first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. | ||
| Romans 3:23 | For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. | ||
| Romans 6:23 | For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. | ||
| Romans 8:1-2 | Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. | ||
| Romans 8:15-16 | For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. | ||
|
|||
| 2 Corinthians 12:9 | But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. | ||
| Ephesians 2:8-10 | For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. | ||
|
|||
| Colossians 3:1-2 | Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. | ||
| John 6:27 | Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval. | ||
| Matthew 7:13-14 | Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. | ||
|
|||
| Isaiah 54:2-3 | Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities. | ||
| Isaiah 55:1-3a | Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live. | ||
| John 20:31 | But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. | ||
| John 6:37 | All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. | ||
| Mark 10:27 | Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” | ||
| Mark 10:43-45 | Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. | ||
| Philippians 1:6 | Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. | ||
| Psalm 126:5-6 | Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him. | ||
| Psalm 20:7 | Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. | ||
| Romans 8:18 | I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. | ||
| Romans 8:28 | And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. | ||
|
|||
| 1 Corinthians 13:13 | And now these three remain – faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. | ||
| 1 John 3:16 | This is how we know what love is – Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. | ||
| Ephesians 5:11 | Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. | ||
| John 13:34-35 | A new command I give you – Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. | ||
| Matthew 9:36-38 | When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” | ||
|
|||
| 1 Peter 2:21 | To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. | ||
| 2 Chronicles 16:9 | For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. | ||
| 2 Corinthians 3:5 | Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. | ||
| 2 Timothy 1:12 | That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day. | ||
| 2 Timothy 2:3-4 | Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs – he wants to please his commanding officer. | ||
| Ephesians 5:1-2 | Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. | ||
| Galatians 2:20 | I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. | ||
| Galatians 6:7-9 | Do not be deceived – God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. | ||
| Hebrews 10:23-25 | Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching. | ||
| Hebrews 12:1-2 | Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. | ||
| John 12:24-25 | Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. | ||
| John 14:21 | Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him. | ||
| John 6:35 | Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.” | ||
| John 6:68 | Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” | ||
| John 7:17 | If anyone chooses to do God’s will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. | ||
| John 8:31-32 | To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” | ||
| Luke 14:26 | If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters, yes, even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. | ||
| Luke 9:23 | Then he said to them all, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” | ||
| Luke 9:24-25 | For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self? | ||
| Matthew 10:32-33 | Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven. | ||
| Matthew 28:18-20 | Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” | ||
| Matthew 6:24 | No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. | ||
| Matthew 6:33-34 | But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. | ||
| Philippians 1:21 | For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. | ||
| Philippians 3:7-8 | But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ. | ||
| Philippians 3:13-14 | Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do – Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. | ||
| Psalm 37:4-7 | Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this – He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him. | ||
| Romans 12:1-2 | Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will. | ||
|
|||
| 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 | Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. | ||
| Hebrews 4:15-16 | For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are – yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. | ||
| John 15:5 | I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. | ||
| Matthew 7:7-8 | Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. | ||
| Philippians 4:19 | And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. | ||
| Philippians 4:6-7 | Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. | ||
|
|||
| 1 John 1:9 | If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. | ||
| 2 Chronicles 7:14 | If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. | ||
| 2 Timothy 2:21 | If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work. | ||
| Acts 3:19 | Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. | ||
| Isaiah 1:18 | “Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” | ||
| Joel 2:13 | Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity. | ||
|
|||
| 1 John 4:4 | You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. | ||
| Ephesians 4:22-24 | You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. | ||
| Galatians 5:16-17 | So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. | ||
| Hebrews 12:4 | In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. | ||
| Isaiah 53:1-2 | Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. | ||
| James 4:7 | Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. | ||
| Romans 6:12-13 | Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. | ||
|
|||
| Ecclesiastes 2:11 | Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun. | ||
| John 12:25 | The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. | ||
| Luke 14:28-29 | Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him. | ||
|
|||
| Isaiah 40:6-8 | A voice says, “Cry out.” And I said, “What shall I cry?” “All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them. Surely the people are grass. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.” | ||
| John 5:44 | How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God? | ||
|
|||
| Daniel 3:17-18 | If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up. | ||
| Habakkuk 3:17-19 | Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. | ||
| John 14:1-3 | Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. | ||
| John 16:33 | I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. | ||
| Matthew 11:28-29 | Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. | ||
