Faith Hope Love
Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.
A man’s heart plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps.
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
“I the Lord search the heart
and examine the mind,
to reward each person according to their conduct,
according to what their deeds deserve.”
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”
They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Blessed is the king of Israel!”
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.
Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.
If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.
The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
