- For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
- The Lord will stay with you as long as you stay with him! Whenever you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you.
- The Lord is close to all who call on him,
yes, to all who call on him in truth. - This is a trustworthy saying:
If we die with him,
we will also live with him. - God created everything through him,
and nothing was created except through him. - For I cried out to him for help,
praising him as I spoke. - Serve only the Lord your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him.
- Seek the Lord while you can find him.
Call on him now while he is near. - If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is. From now on, you do know him and have seen him!
- Look! He comes with the clouds of heaven.
And everyone will see him—
even those who pierced him.
And all the nations of the world
will mourn for him.
Yes! Amen! - You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls.
- But the Lord will redeem those who serve him.
No one who takes refuge in him will be condemned. - I wait quietly before God,
for my victory comes from him. - But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.
- They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him. They wove thorn branches into a crown and put it on his head, and they placed a reed stick in his right hand as a scepter. Then they knelt before him in mockery and taunted, “Hail! King of the Jews!”
- Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
for my hope is in him. - But from there you will search again for the Lord your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him.
- Yes, God will bless us,
and people all over the world will fear him. - In this way, God qualified him as a perfect High Priest, and he became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey him.
- Dear friends, if we don’t feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence. And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him.
- And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
- Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?
- This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.
- As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”
- I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance;
therefore, I will hope in him!”
For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.Who is the King of glory?
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies—
he is the King of glory. And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.Next verse!With image
