Isaiah
55:8–9 “For my thoughts are not
your thoughts, neither are your
ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as
the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Only such a God could possess the kind of love that would choose
to send His own Son as the sacrifice for my sin and make it possible for me to
become His child and a joint-heir with His Son.
I am sooooo thankful for such love and sacrifice! I am sooooo thankful that because He lives I
too shall live in His presence for eternity!
John
3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Isaiah 53:4–11 “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our
sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was
upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone
astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him
the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened
not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before
her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth….Yet it pleased the LORD to
bruise him; he hath put him to
grief….He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous
servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.”
Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of
God;”
Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Ephesians 2:8–9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that
not of yourselves: it is the
gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Romans 10:9–13 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and
with the mouth confession is made unto salvation….For whosoever shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the
life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
John 15:9–14 “As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you:
continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love;
even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. These
things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is
my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love
hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my
friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.”
Romans 8:10–17 “And if Christ be in you, the body is
dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he
that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his
Spirit that dwelleth in you….For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they
are the sons of God….The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we
are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and
joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may
be also glorified together.”
John 14:1–3 “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God,
believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And
if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto
myself; that where I am, there
ye may be also.”
1 Corinthians 15:51–53 “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not
all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an
eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be
raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on
incorruption, and this mortal must
put on immortality.”
1 Thessalonians 4:16–18 “For the Lord himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of
God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we
ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”
Revelation 22:20 “Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord
Jesus.”
