Thanks, Elspeth

[Elspeth]

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.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and
it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

-- Romans 10:9-10

[Elspeth]

Christ has indeed been raised, the first fruits of those who
have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the
resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam
all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

-- 1 Corinthians 15:20-22

[Elspeth]

Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ.

-- 1 Corinthians 15:55-57

[Rindy]

Thanks for taking the time Elspeth I like reading these.

Slainte

[Elspeth]

Thanks Rindy! They are good for me to post. I've always been horrible at reading the bible. To just sit down and read never made the connection for me. So, I signed up to two sites that send daily e-mail scriptures. Not exactly a great daily study, but more than I was doing.


And, since I'm again not caught up, I'll post a few today.....

And, throw out the invitation, if anyone ever wants to discuss one of the verses, just pop in and start talking.



It is written, "As surely as I live," says the Lord, "every knee
will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God."

-- Romans 14:11



Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12:21



Since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities --
his eternal power and divine nature -- have been clearly seen,
being understood from what has been made, so that men are without
excuse.
-- Romans 1:20

[Elspeth]

You know that is was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of
Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.

-- 1 Peter 1:18-19




A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of the fool
gushes folly.

Proverbs 15:1-2


Couldn't decide between the two so, a double dose today.

[Elspeth]

Jesus is able to save completely those who come to God through
him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

-- Hebrews 7:25

We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the
weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please
his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

Romans 15:1-2

[Elspeth]

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but
only what is helpful for building others up according to
their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

Ephesians 4:29

[Elspeth]

In my anguish I cried to the LORD, and he answered by
setting me free. The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

Psalms 118:5-6

[Elspeth]

Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who
comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those
who earnestly seek him.



-- Hebrews 11:6



Interesting verse. First scripture I remember saying it is my duty to believe in rewards. Not a top ten in humble based theology.

Very interesting.

[Elspeth]

FONT=Times]This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we
ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know
that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we
asked of him.


-- 1 John 5:14-15[/FONT]

[Elspeth]

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.


-- Romans 12:12

[Elspeth]

You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for
tooth.' But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If
someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the
other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your
tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces
you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one
who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to
borrow from you. "You have heard that it was said, 'Love
your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love
your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you
may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to
rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the
righteous and the unrighteous.

Matthew 5:38-45

[Elspeth]

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer
and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And
the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard
your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

-- Philippians 4:6-7
