the Beginning & the end, the rst & the last
(Revelation 22:13)
Then God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply; ll the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the sh of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.
(Genesis 1:28)
For what prot a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? (Mark 8:36) Or what will a man give in exchange of his own soul? (Mark 8:37)
The soul who sins shall die (Ezekiel 18:4) For the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23)
What is sin?
Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (Matthew 5:28) To him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. (James 4:17) For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
Wages of sin?
Your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear. For your hands are deled with blood, And your ngers with iniquity; Your lips have spoken lies, Your tongue has muttered perversity. (Isaiah 59:2-3)
sin-bearing Messiah
Surely He has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows, he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, his soul an offering for sin, he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors (Isaiah 53:4-5,10,12)
remission of sins
For the life of the esh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.
(Leviticus 17:11)
For this is My blood...,which is shed for many for the remission of sins... (Matthew 26:28)
For as by one mans disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Mans obedience many will be made righteous. (Romans 5:19)
Repent! be baptized!
Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins... (Acts 2:38) Do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead...even so we also should walk in newness of life (Romans 6:3-4)
New creature
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17) I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your esh and give you a heart of esh.
(Ezekiel 36:26)
Seek righteousness
For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek rst the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you. (Matthew 6:32-33)
Temptation!
Each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when the desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. (James 1:14-15) Those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil...
(1 Timothy 6:9-10)
Submit to God. Resist the devil and he will ee from you. (James 4:7) You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
LORD, make me to know my end, And what is the measure of my days, that I may how frail I am... that we may apply our hearts to wisdom
(Psalm 39:4, 90:12)
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (James 1:5)
God is spirit
God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. (John 4:24) I am the LORD, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images. (Isaiah 42:8)
God is love
He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. (1 John 4:8) If someone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?...he who loves God must love his brother also (1 John 4:20-21)
Love God
The LORD our God is one LORD. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. (Mark 12:29-30) You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
(Mark 12:31)
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became esh and dwelt among us.
(John 1:14)
