New Year's Resolution That Covers It All

Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love.  For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Peter 1:5-8

God Loves Us

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God.

We have come to know and believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 

By this love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in the world. 

We love, because He first loved us.

1 John 4:15-17, 19

We Are Redeemed

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?  Do not be deceived; neither …thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.  Such were some of you; but you were sanctified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Not That Difficult

…If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 

Romans 10:9-10

Getting Through It

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.

Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

Colossians 3:15-17

The Rescuer

They cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He saved them out of their distress. 

Psalm 107:13
