40 Scriptures

For his Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts and tells us that we really are God’s children. Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others he has saved you from your enemies. For he has rescued us out of the darkness and gloom of Satan’s kingdom and brought us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who bought our freedom with his blood and forgave us all our sins. Because of his kindness, you have been saved through trusting Christ. And even trusting is not of yourselves; it too is a gift from God. So now, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith in his promises, we can have real peace with him because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. There was a time when some of you were just like that but now your sins are washed away, and you are set apart for God; and he has accepted you because of what the Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God have done for you.
When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun! And by that same mighty power he has given us all the other rich and wonderful blessings he promised; for instance, the promise to save us from the lust and rottenness all around us, and to give us his own character. But Christ has bought us out from under the doom of that impossible system by taking the curse for our wrongdoing upon himself. For it is written in the Scripture, “Anyone who is hanged on a tree is cursed” (as Jesus was hung upon a wooden cross). For he has rescued us out of the darkness and gloom of Satan’s kingdom and brought us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For he orders his angels to protect you wherever you go. And it is he who will supply all your needs from his riches in glory because of what Christ Jesus has done for us. Let him have all your worries and cares, for he is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you.
Last of all I want to remind you that your strength must come from the Lord’s mighty power within you. for I can do everything God asks me to with the help of Christ who gives me the strength and power. And since we are his children, we will share his treasures—for all God gives to his Son Jesus is now ours too. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering. But Christ has bought us out from under the doom of that impossible system by taking the curse for our wrongdoing upon himself. For it is written in the Scripture, “Anyone who is hanged on a tree is cursed” (as Jesus was hung upon a wooden cross). Now God can bless the Gentiles, too, with this same blessing he promised to Abraham; and all of us as Christians can have the promised Holy Spirit through this faith.These are the blessings that will come upon you: Blessings in the city, Blessings in the field;Many children,Ample crops,Large flocks and herds;Blessings of fruit and bread;Blessings when you come in,Blessings when you go out.
And what is it that God has said? That he has given us eternal life and that this life is in his Son. So whoever has God’s Son has life; whoever does not have his Son, does not have life. How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every blessing in heaven because we belong to Christ. He personally carried the load of our sins in his own body when he died on the cross so that we can be finished with sin and live a good life from now on. For his wounds have healed ours! And I have given you authority over all the power of the Enemy, and to walk among serpents and scorpions and to crush them. Nothing shall injure you!
If you will only listen and obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I am giving you today, he will make you the head and not the tail, and you shall always have the upper hand. but despite all this, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ who loved us enough to die for us. And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; whatever doors you lock on earth shall be locked in heaven; and whatever doors you open on earth shall be open in heaven!” They defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony; for they did not love their lives but laid them down for him.
Dear young friends, you belong to God and have already won your fight with those who are against Christ because there is someone in your hearts who is stronger than any evil teacher in this wicked world. So we do not look at what we can see right now, the troubles all around us, but we look forward to the joys in heaven which we have not yet seen. The troubles will soon be over, but the joys to come will last forever. We know these things are true by believing, not by seeing. I use God’s mighty weapons, not those made by men, to knock down the devil’s strongholds. These weapons can break down every proud argument against God and every wall that can be built to keep men from finding him. With these weapons I can capture rebels and bring them back to God and change them into men whose hearts’ desire is obedience to Christ.
And so, dear brothers, I plead with you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a living sacrifice, holy—the kind he can accept. When you think of what he has done for you, is this too much to ask? Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think. Then you will learn from your own experience how his ways will really satisfy you. But whatever I am now it is all because God poured out such kindness and grace upon me—and not without results: for I have worked harder than all the other apostles, yet actually I wasn’t doing it, but God working in me, to bless me. For God took the sinless Christ and poured into him our sins. Then, in exchange, he poured God’s goodness into us! Follow God’s example in everything you do just as a much loved child imitates his father.
You are the world’s light—a city on a hill, glowing in the night for all to see. I will praise the Lord no matter what happens. I will constantly speak of his glories and.
