You too heard the word of truth in Christ, which is the good news of your salvation. You were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit because you believed in Christ.

Every man shall bear his own burden.

We Christians know very well that we cannot become right with God by obeying laws, but only by faith in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And so, we have trusted Jesus Christ, that we might be accepted by God because of faith—and not because we have obeyed laws. 

My friends, I don’t feel that I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for what is ahead.  I run toward the goal, so that I can win the prize of being called to heaven.  This is the prize that God offers because of what Christ Jesus has done.

My house is the house of prayer.

God is Spirit.

As He was coming near Jericho, a blind man sat by the road begging.  And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant.  They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.  He cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”  Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight;  your faith has made you well.”

I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart;  I will tell of all Your marvelous works.  I will be glad and rejoice in You;  I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

You, O LORD, are a shield for me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head.  I cried to the LORD with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill. 

Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God.  Do you know when God dispatches them, and causes the light of His cloud to shine?
