We love because He first loved us.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.
Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.
Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or terrified of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
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.
This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.
Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, as for the Lord and not for men.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another.
Rejoice at all times. Pray without ceasing. Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
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.
He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
