But to all who did receive Him,
He gave them the right to be children of God,
to those who believe in His name,
He predestined us to be adopted through Jesus Christ for Himself, according to His favor and will,
Therefore accept one another, just as the Messiah also accepted you, to the glory of God.
For the entire fullness of God’s nature dwells bodily in Christ, and you have been filled by Him, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
But anyone joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
For we know that our old self was crucified with Him in order that sin’s dominion over the body may be abolished, so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin,
Now you are the body of Christ, and individual members of it.
I chose you before I formed you in the womb;
I set you apart before you were born.
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood,
a holy nation, a people for His possession,
so that you may proclaim the praises
of the One who called you out of darkness
into His marvelous light.
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ like a garment. There is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Don’t you know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.
Look at how great a love the Father has given us that we should be called God’s children. And we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it didn’t know Him. Dear friends, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him because we will see Him as He is.
So if you have been raised with the Messiah, seek what is above, where the Messiah is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on what is above, not on what is on the earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with the Messiah in God.
Sons of God
All those led by God’s Spirit are God’s sons.
For the creation eagerly waits with anticipation for God’s sons to be revealed.
for you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God’s children,
And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”
John 1:12
The peacemakers are blessed,
for they will be called sons of God.
so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God who are faultless in a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine like stars in the world.
I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.
Dearly loved
May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
My dearly loved brothers, understand this: Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger,
He has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son He loves.
Salvation
There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people, and we must be saved by it.”
So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
He has saved us and called us
with a holy calling,
not according to our works,
but according to His own purpose and grace,
which was given to us in Christ Jesus
before time began.
I am at rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from Him.
Then everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved.
One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation.
For the grace of God has appeared with salvation for all people, instructing us to deny godlessness and worldly lusts and to live in a sensible, righteous, and godly way in the present age,
For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost.”
The Lord does not delay His promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance.
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
“Enter through the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the road is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who go through it. How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life, and few find it.
You love Him, though you have not seen Him. And though not seeing Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy, because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.
For this is what the Lord has commanded us:
I have made you
a light for the Gentiles
to bring salvation
to the ends of the earth.”
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek.
You have given me the shield of Your salvation;
Your right hand upholds me,
and Your humility exalts me.
You widen a place beneath me for my steps,
and my ankles do not give way.
Discipleship
The 11 disciples traveled to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had directed them. When they saw Him, they worshiped, but some doubted. Then Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you really are My disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, commit to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
In the same way, therefore, every one of you who does not say good-bye to all his possessions cannot be My disciple.
Jesus replied, “I assure you: Unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come.
Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
The Love of God
Look at how great a love the Father has given us that we should be called God’s children. And we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it didn’t know Him.
Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
In this, love is perfected with us so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, for we are as He is in this world. There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. So the one who fears has not reached perfection in love. We love because He first loved us.
and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
For I know the plans I have for you” —this is the Lord’s declaration—“plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
the Lord appeared to him from far away.
I have loved you with an everlasting love;
therefore, I have continued to extend faithful love to you.
“For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
No one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends.
But You, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
slow to anger and rich in faithful love and truth.
Give thanks to the God of heaven!
His love is eternal.
But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!
Yahweh your God is among you,
a warrior who saves.
He will rejoice over you with gladness.
He will bring you quietness with His love.
He will delight in you with shouts of joy.”
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love that He had for us, made us alive with the Messiah even though we were dead in trespasses. You are saved by grace!
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your care on Him, because He cares about you.
No, in all these things we are more than victorious
through Him who loved us.
For I am persuaded that not even death or life,
angels or rulers,
things present or things to come, hostile powers,
height or depth, or any other created thing
will have the power to separate us
from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!
Repentance
and My people who are called by My name humble themselves, pray and seek My face, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
The one who conceals his sins
will not prosper,
but whoever confesses and renounces them
will find mercy.
Therefore produce fruit consistent with repentance.
for when you return to Yahweh, your brothers and your sons will receive mercy in the presence of their captors and will return to this land. For Yahweh your God is gracious and merciful; He will not turn His face away from you if you return to Him.”
The Lord does not delay His promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance.
Go and learn what this means: I desire mercy and not sacrifice. For I didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near!”
Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, double-minded people!
Tear your hearts,
not just your clothes,
and return to the Lord your God.
For He is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger, rich in faithful love,
and He relents from sending disaster.
If you respond to my warning,
then I will pour out my spirit on you
and teach you my words.
So tell the people: This is what the Lord of Hosts says: Return to Me”—this is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts—“and I will return to you, says the Lord of Hosts.
I tell you, in the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
“Repent,” Peter said to them, “and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
For I take no pleasure in anyone’s death.” This is the declaration of the Lord God. “So repent and live!
I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
