Verses

One of my most favorable Bible verses is Psalm 115:17-18, “The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence. But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord.” This verse gave me direction during a time of struggle. It keeps me in remembrance to always praise the Lord, for his love is everlasting regardless what may

He alone is the way to eternal salvation, and the foundation of eternal life. He is a refuge to those who are in distress; a support to the afflicted, hope and defence to those who are hopeless; and, in a word, all those who do not believe on him, shall not live, but suffer eternal death.

“The Lord is my rock and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my Buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

“But who do you say I am?” (Matthew 16:15). Two thousand years ago, Jesus asked his followers. “Who he really was?” Tom Wright, who lives in 21st century, asks again.

In condensed context, this translate into a simply stated answer, focus on God, not the wold. The temporal distractions we've created and glorified distract us from God, we need to remove or abstained from the pleasurable unneeded things to be able to fully commit to him. We need to hungry for his word, not wealth and power, we will have wealth in him. This insignificant material such as houses, cars, shoes, and clothing we worship and glorify will not fill our hearts. Throw away your pride of possession and be free to have a better, cover, understanding, intimate relationship with God. The things of this world will fade and decay, while God's eternal existence, salvation, and word will never die, so choose

When your eyes are on Jesus, it will help you to see Him and think about Him, instead of thinking about everything that is happening around you.

Jesus, speaking direct to supreme evil, teaches a vital lesson, “One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God” (Matt 4:4). Keeping the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus is sound heavenly advice (Rev 12:17).

In her poem “Contemplations,” Anne Bradstreet strives to teach her readers not to get caught into the acquisition and enjoyment of earthly treasures, but instead seek the things of God which only can offer eternal security. At the beginning of her poem, the author describes her wonder and awe over nature and the splendor of God’s creation. She continues on by looking back on mankind’s original sin and contemplating the fact that even though man continues to decay, nature is renewed day by day. In conclusion, Anne Bradstreet reflects on the biblical truth that temporal things cannot bring eternal security, only a personal relationship with the Savior can.

“But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (John 4:14).Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’ (John 7:37-38)

‘The LORD is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I hope in Him!’ The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.” Also 3:31-33 says, “For no one is cast off by the LORD forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone.”

Psalm 119:114, “You are my refuge and my shield. I have put my hope in your Word. In Philippians 4:8, God tells me to think about whatever is "true, noble, right, pure, and lovely

In Psalms 55:22 it says “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will not let the righteous be shaken.” This verse means a lot to me because there have been many situations that have happened in my life. This bible verse tells me not to give up on him or on anything else in my life. Even in the darkest times to believe in him and his word. One thing that God has been there for me has been when I was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. I thought that my life was over. I was an energetic and active as a child. When I was told that I wouldn’t be able to exercise I was heartbroken. I realized that there was more than just having it. There is much more to it, you have to take medicine twice a day, stretch and go for a

The task of being able to remove the cover over the window of life is only complete once he has enabled all to see clearly through feeling. With the help of others that are no longer taking

1. Who I was: we sing it about, we hear about it yet frankly I seem to forget this point often. For it me, I was saved young so for me, I don 't remember what I was before I began following my savior. However, knowing what I was beforehand has shaped my walk more now that I am Christian then before. We all know we were sinners, Roman 3:10,23; 6:23 make that clear; But something I never thought of myself as was beggar. Matthew 5:3 states "Blessed are the poor in spirit for theres is the kingdom of God". The original word for poor, that was used during Jesus time was πτωχοί which means to crouch referring to a beggar that was double over. So here the picture, someone clothed in rags probably sitting off to the side of the street. They 're head is hang down toward their chest and their hand is stretched out just enough to hold the alms they receive from a merciful stranger. This is how we are spiritual. Before we were saved, we 're beggar unable to obtain the

The second “I Am” statement Jesus states, “I AM the light of the world” (8:12). The surrounding text is important here because is displays the mood of the passage. Verses 1-11, the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery (8:3). According to the Law of Moses, this woman was to be stoned (8:5). They asked Jesus
