If you love me, keep my commands.

If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

For those who find me find life and receive favor from the LORD.

Thanks for sharing from your story, Caleb! God bless you as you share the stories of lives changed by God.

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.

Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.

I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.

Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.

But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.

The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;

Hope in the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are destroyed, you will see it.

I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.

Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

How lovely is your dwelling place, LORD Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
