So we praise God for the glorious grace

he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.

He is so rich in kindness and grace

that he purchased our freedom 

with the blood of his Son

and forgave our sins. 

Ephesians 1:6-7

Those who belong to Christ Jesus

have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature

to his cross and crucified them there.

Since we are living by the Spirit,

let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.

Let us not become conceited,

or provoke one another,

or be jealous of one another.

Galatians 5:24-26

And we know that in all things 

God works for the good of those who love him,

who have been called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:28

…the Spirit helps us in our weakness.

We do not know what we ought to pray for,

but the Spirit himself intercedes for us

with groans that words cannot express.

And he who searches our hearts

knows the mind of the Spirit,

because the Spirit intercedes for the saints

in accordance with God’s will.

Romans 8:26-27

But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin,

so we receive God’s promise of freedom

only by believing in Jesus Christ.

Galatians 3:22

…no one can be made right with God

by trying to keep the law.

For the Scriptures say,

“It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”

This way of faith is very different from the way of law…

Galatians 3:11-12

Don’t worry about anything;

instead, pray about everything.

Tell God what you need,

and thank him for all he has done.

Then you will experience God’s peace,

which exceeds anything we can understand.

His peace will guard your hearts and minds

as you live in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7

But we are citizens of heaven,

where the Lord Jesus Christ lives.

and we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior.

He will take our weak mortal bodies

and change them into glorious bodies like his own,

using the same power with which

he will bring everything under his control.

Philippians 3:20-21

…I focus on this one thing:

Forgetting the past

and looking forward to what lies ahead,

I press on to reach the end of the race

and receive the heavenly prize for which God,

through Christ Jesus,

is calling us.

Philippians 3:13-14

…everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. 
(Romans 3:23)

As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. 
(Romans 3:10)

…the wages of sin is death (forever separated from God), but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. 
(Romans 6:23)

…God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. 
(Romans 5:8)

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you willbe saved. 
(Romans 10:9)

For “Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.” 
(Romans 10:13)

Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. 
(Romans 5:1)

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Jesus Christ. 
(Romans 8:1)

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.  No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. 
(Romans 8:38-39)
