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)
