God’s Love

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.

-John 3:16

He who did not spare his own Son but handed him over for us all, how will he not also give us everything else along with him?

-Romans 8:32

For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

-Romans 10:13

For God delivered all to disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.

-Romans 11:32

For as I see it, God has exhibited us apostles as the last of all, like people sentenced to death, since we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and human beings alike. We are fools on Christ’s account, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are held in honor, but we in disrepute.

-2 Corinthians 4:9 – 10

Three times 4 I begged the Lord about this, that it might leave me, but he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me. Therefore, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and constraints, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

-2 Corinthians 12:8 – 10

For godly sorrow produces a salutary repentance without regret, but worldly sorrow produces death.

-2 Corinthians 7:10

Now to him who is able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine, by the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

-Ephesians 3:20 – 21

Consider how he endured such opposition from sinners, in order that you may not grow weary and lose heart. In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood. You have also forgotten the exhortation addressed to you as sons: “My son, do not disdain the discipline of the Lord or lose heart when reproved by him; for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines; he scourges every son he acknowledges.”

-Hebrews:12:3 – 6

Let your life be free from love of money but be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never forsake you or abandon you.”

-Hebrews 13:5

So humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. Cast all your worries upon him because he cares for you. Be sober and vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for (someone) to devour. Resist him, steadfast in faith, knowing that your fellow believers throughout the world undergo the same sufferings. The God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory through Christ Jesus will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you after you have suffered a little.

-1 Peter 5:6 – 10

All the nations of the world seek for these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these other things will be given you besides.

-Luke 12:30 – 31

And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted.

-Matthew 10:28 – 30

Keep me safe, O God; in you I take refuge. I say to the Lord, you are my Lord, you are my only good.
