- I am confident that I will behold the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living. - Only goodness and kindness will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever and ever. - For light produces all goodness and righteousness and truth.
- How great is your goodness, O Lord,
which you have stored up for those who fear you
and which you bestow on those who take refuge in you,
in the presence of all the people. - Those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
- Hence, be imitators of God, as beloved children.
- Be mindful, O Lord, that mercy and kindness
have been yours from of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth
or my many transgressions,
but remember me in your kindness,
for the sake of your goodness, O Lord. - Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God. - Jesus replied, “Blessed, rather, are those who hear the word of God and obey it!”
- God abides in anyone who acknowledges
that Jesus is the Son of God,
and that person abides in God. - Every word of God has proved to be true;
he is a shield to those who trust in him. - Cure the sick who are there, and say, ‘The kingdom of God has come unto you.’
- Who indeed conquers the world
except the one who believes
that Jesus is the Son of God? - And take the helmet of salvation as well as the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
- Jesus replied,
“This is the work of God:
to believe in the one whom he has sent.” - Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.
- Indeed, creation itself eagerly awaits the revelation of the children of God.
- And every tongue should proclaim
to the glory of God the Father:
Jesus Christ is Lord. - Beloved,
let us love one another,
because love is from God.
Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. - The Spirit himself bears witness with our Spirit that we are children of God.
- The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is filled with his kindness. - In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things.
- Therefore, accept one another for the glory of God, just as Christ has accepted you.
- For everyone born of God
conquers the world.
And the victory that conquers the world
is our faith. - A good man produces good from the store of goodness in his heart, whereas an evil man produces evil from the store of evil within him. For the mouth speaks from the abundance of the heart.
Put on the armor of God so that you will be able to stand firm against the deceit of the devil.So today acknowledge it and take it to heart that the Lord is God in the heavens above and on the earth below. There is no other.
