Trust the Lord about everything He said, everything in your life.
Act16:31They replied, “Believe in the
Lord Jesus, and you will be saved–you and your household.”
Act26:15“Then I asked, ‘Who are
you, Lord?’
“ ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. 16‘Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen of me and what I will show you. 17I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them 18to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified1a by faith in me.’
1Pet1:18For you know that it
was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed
from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, 19but
with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20He
was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last
times for your sake. 21Through him
you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your
faith and hope are in God.
1Jhn5:1Everyone who believes that Jesus
is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child
as well.
Rom1:16I am not ashamed of the
gospel,
because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first
for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17For in the
gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith
from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by
faith.” (Hab2:4)
Rom3:9..... We
have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin.
10As
it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one;
11there
is no one who understands,
no one who seeks God.
12All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.” (Psa14:1-3;53:1-3
Ecc7:20)
13“Their throats are
open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.” (Psa5:9)
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.” (Psa140:3)
14“Their
mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.” (Psa10:7)
15“Their feet are swift
to shed blood;
16ruin
and misery mark their ways,
17and the way of peace they
do not know.” (Isa59:7,8)
18“There
is no fear of God before their eyes.” (Psa36:1)
Rom3:20 ..... no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin. 21But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement3a, through faith in his blood. ..... 26 ..... so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus. ..... 5:1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
Rom10:9But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your
heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'” (that is, to bring Christ down) 7“or
'Who will descend into the deep?'” (that is, to bring Christ up from the
dead). 8But
what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your
heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9That if you confess with your
mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from
the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your
heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you
confess and are saved. ..... 17
..... faith comes from hearing the message,
and the message is heard through the word of Christ.
1Cor2:4My message and my preaching were
not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's
power, 5so that your faith
might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.
Gal3:26You are all sons of God through
faith in Christ Jesus, 27for
all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
Phi3:4 ..... If anyone else thinks he has reasons to put confidence
in the flesh, I have more: 5circumcised on the
eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of
Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; 6as
for zeal, persecuting the church; as for legalistic righteousness, faultless. 7But
whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8What
is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of
knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider
them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9and be
found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that
comes from the law, but that which is through faith
in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. 10I
want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of
sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11and
so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Col2:9For
in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10and
you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and
authority. 11In him you were also
circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature,
not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done
by Christ, 12having been buried with
him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of
God, who
raised him from the dead. 13When you
were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful
nature,
God made you
alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14having
canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that
stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross. 15And
having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them,
triumphing over them by the cross.
1The4:14We believe that Jesus died and
rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have
fallen asleep in him.
1Tim1:15Here is a trustworthy
saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save
sinners—of whom I am the worst. 16But
for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners,
Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who
would believe on him and receive eternal life. 17Now
to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for
ever and ever. Amen.
2Tim3:14But as for you, continue in what
you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom
you learned it, 15and how from infancy you have
known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through
faith in Christ Jesus. 16All Scripture is
God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in
righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be
thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Mar1:14After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming
the good news of God. 15“The time has come,”
he said. “The kingdom of God is near. Repent4a and believe the
good news!”
Mar16:16“Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” - words of Jesus
Jhn1:12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become
children of God–
Jhn3:14“Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of
Man must be lifted up, 15that
everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. 16For
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. 17For
God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the
world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not
condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because
he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.”
- words of Jesus
Jhn3:36“Whoever
believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will
not see life, for God's wrath remains on him.” - words of
Jesus
Jhn4:41And because of his words many more became believers. 42They
said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we
have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the
world.”
Jhn5:24“I tell you the truth,
whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and
will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.”
- words of Jesus
Jhn6:28Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God
requires?” 29Jesus answered, “The
work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
Jhn6:35Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me
will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.”
Jhn6:40“For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have
eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”
- words of Jesus
Jhn6:47“I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life.”
- words of Jesus
Jhn11:25Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will
live, even though he dies; 26and whoever
lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
Jhn11:40Then Jesus said,
“Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
Jhn12:44Then Jesus cried out, “When a man believes
in me, he does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. 45When
he looks at me, he sees the one who sent me. 46I
have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should
stay in darkness.”
Jhn20:30Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his
disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31But
these are written that you may
believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,
and that
by believing you may
have life in his name.
Act10:43“All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives
