Where the Real News is the Good News

You are my refuge and my shield;
    I have put my hope in your word.

You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

In peace I will lie down and sleep,
    for you alone, Lord,
    make me dwell in safety.

For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.

The name of the Lord is a fortified tower;
    the righteous run to it and are safe.

Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them.

Taste and see that the Lord is good;
    blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
