"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."[Sometimes we can feel so worthless and ashamed when we simply fall apart from circumstances and things we really can't control. But God says that He is our deliverer and that we need to trust and believe Him!
15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
23 Oh, love the LORD, all you His saints!
For the LORD preserves the faithful,
And fully repays the proud person.
24 Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart,
All you who hope in the LORD.
“ Prepare for war!Let us not sleep [to be silent and complacent and indifferent] anymore! Jesus will return sooner than we think, and we need to be right with God! Let us repent our ways and seek God more than the things of this world, which will perish!
Wake up the mighty men,
Let all the men of war draw near,
Let them come up.
10 Beat your plowshares into swords
And your pruning hooks into spears;
Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’”
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,I've always wondered why this proverb was worded so strangely, specifically "lean not"?
And lean not on your own understanding;
5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead...
39 ...on the fifteenth day of the seventh month... you shall keep the feast of the LORD for seven days; on the first day there shall be a sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a sabbath-rest. 40 And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.
12 The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out:What are the comparisons of these two scriptures?
“Hosanna!
‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!’
The King of Israel!”
