- From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.”
- But Jesus told them, “I will be with you only a little longer. Then I will return to the one who sent me.”
- But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love.
- So Jesus told them, “My message is not my own; it comes from God who sent me.”
- The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.
- Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.”
- Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.
- On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me!”
- Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
- For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified.
- Yes, and everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
- The Lord directs the steps of the godly.
He delights in every detail of their lives. - As they strained to see him rising into heaven, two white-robed men suddenly stood among them. “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why are you standing here staring into heaven? Jesus has been taken from you into heaven, but someday he will return from heaven in the same way you saw him go!”
- “What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.”
- Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
- In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents.
- But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior.
- And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.
- He called you to salvation when we told you the Good News; now you can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- For I know that as you pray for me and the Spirit of Jesus Christ helps me, this will lead to my deliverance.
- But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?”
- But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ.
- But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
- And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.
