The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom Ī good understanding have all those who do His commandments. If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.įor by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God, By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,īy faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified Īnd we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.Īnd do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?įor in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith as it is written, "The just shall live by faith." Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up." If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the L ORD. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Cleanse your hands, you sinners and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Let your conduct be without covetousness be content with such things as you have. Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit for without Me you can do nothing.įor we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.īeware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent." My soul has no pleasure in him." But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.
