God the Creator and the Word
- "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" Genesis 1:1 (KJV)
- "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all
things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. 4In
Him was life, and that life was the light of men." John 1:1-4 (NIV)
Salvation through Jesus Christ
- "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten
Son, that whoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life." John 3:16 (KJV)
- "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." Romans 10:9 (NIV)
An Intimate Relationship with Him
- "O Lord, You have searched me and You know me. You know
when I sit and when I rise; You perceive my thoughts from afar. You
discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my
ways. Before a word is on my tongue You know it completely, O Lord."
Psalm 139:1-4 (NIV)
- "I have engraved you on the palms of My hands." Isaiah 49:16 (NIV)
Deepening that relationship by delighting in Him and He in us
- "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4 (NIV)
- "The steps of the godly are directed by the Lord. He
delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will
not fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand." Psalm 37:23-24 (NLT)
Daily putting on The Full Armor of God
- "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against
the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of
this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the
heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when
the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after
you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of
truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness
in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from
the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of
faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil
one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is
the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds
of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on
praying for all the saints." Ephesians 6:10-18 (NIV)
Growing His Kingdom and bringing Glory to His Name
- "Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy
Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have
given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20 (NLT)
- "Lord, we show our trust in you by obeying your laws; our heart's desire is to glorify Your name." Isaiah 26:8 (NLT)
