For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39 (Amplified Bible)

The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying:

“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.

Jeremiah 31:3

Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love theworld, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 1 John 2:15 (New Living Translation)

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ Matthew 22:37 (New International Version, ©2010)

You're cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way. And do you suppose God doesn't care? The proverb has it that "he's a fiercely jealous lover." And what he gives in love is far better than anything else you'll find. It's common knowledge that "God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble." James 4:4-6 (The Message)

Who believes what we've heard and seen?
   Who would have thought God's saving power would look like this?
The servant grew up before God—a scrawny seedling,
    a scrubby plant in a parched field.
There was nothing attractive about him,
    nothing to cause us to take a second look.
He was looked down on and passed over,
    a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand.
One look at him and people turned away.
    We looked down on him, thought he was scum.
But the fact is, it was our pains he carried—
    our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us.
We thought he brought it on himself,
    that God was punishing him for his own failures.
But it was our sins that did that to him,
    that ripped and tore and crushed him—our sins!
He took the punishment, and that made us whole.
    Through his bruises we get healed.
We're all like sheep who've wandered off and gotten lost.
    We've all done our own thing, gone our own way.
And God has piled all our sins, everything we've done wrong,
    on him, on him.

Isaiah 53:1-6 (The Message)

"I promise you that on the day of judgment, everyone will have to account for every careless word they have spoken."

Matthew 12:36 (CEV)

“I have told you these things,

so that in me you may have peace.

In this world you will have trouble.

But take heart!

I have overcome the world.”

 John 16:33 (NIV)

"Give thanks to God

—he is good and

his love never quits."

1 Chronicles 16:34 (The Message)

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Hebrews 13:8 (NIV)

"Jesus replied:

Love the Lord your God

with all your heart

and with all your soul

and with all your mind.

This is the first

and greatest commandment."

Matthew 22:37-38 (NIV)
