?The person and work of Jesus

As Lord (theos and Kurios), As Saviour, As man

1. Isa 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior.2. Isa 45:21 Declare what is to be, present it-- let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long

ago, who declared it from the distant past? Was it not I, the LORD? And there is no God apartfrom me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none but me.

3. Isa 49:26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood,as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, the LORD, am yourSavior, your Redeemer, theMighty One of Jacob."

him and honor him.

21. Psa 91:16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."

25. Isa 52:7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaimpeace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

26. Isa 59:16 He saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene; sohis own arm worked salvation for him, and his own righteousness sustained him.

27. Isa 59:17 He put on righteousness as his breastplate, and the helmet ofsalvation on his head; heput on the garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.

28. Isa 63:5 I looked, but there was no one to help, I was appalled that no one gave support; so myown arm worked salvation for me, and my own wrath sustained me.

29. Zec 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your kingcomes to you, righteous and havingsalvation, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal ofa donkey.

30. Luk 1:47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

31. Luk 2:11 Today in the town of David a Saviorhas been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.32. Joh 4:42 They said to the woman, "We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we

have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviorof the world."33. Act 5:31 God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Saviorthat he might give

repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.34. Act 13:23 From this man's descendants God has brought to Israel the SaviorJesus, as he

promised.35. Phi 3:20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Saviorfrom there, the Lord

Jesus Christ,36. 1Ti 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God ourSaviorand of Christ Jesus

our hope,37. 1Ti 4:10 (and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the

Saviorof all men, and especially of those who believe.38. Tit 2:13 while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior,

Jesus Christ,39. 2Pe 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the

righteousness of our God and SaviorJesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:40. 1Jo 4:14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Saviorof the

world.

41. Luk 2:27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in thechild Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required,

42. Luk 2:28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:43. Luk 2:29 Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace.44. Luk 2:30 For my eyes have seen yoursalvation,

45. Luk 3:4 As is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: "A voice of one calling in thedesert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.

46. Luk 3:5 Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shallbecome straight, the rough ways smooth.

47. Luk 3:6 And all mankind will see God's salvation.' "

48. Joh 4:22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, forsalvation is from the Jews.

49. 2Ti 2:10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain thesalvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

50. Heb 2:10 In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whomeverything exists, should make the author of theirsalvation perfect through suffering.

51. Heb 5:9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him52. Rev 7:10 And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the

throne, and to the Lamb."

53. Rev 19:1 After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting:"Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

the3588 resurrection386 at1722 the3588 last2078 day.2250Joh 11:25 Jesus2424 said2036 unto her,846I1473am1510the3588resurrection,386and2532

Joh 11:27 She saith3004 unto him,846 Yea,3483 Lord:2962 I1473 believe4100 that3754 thou4771art1488 the3588 Christ,5547 the3588 Son5207 of God,2316 which should come2064 into1519the3588 world.2889

Act 2:31 He seeing this before4275 spake2980 of4012 the3588resurrection386 of Christ,5547that3754 his846 soul5590 was not3756 left2641 in1519 hell,86 neither3761 his846 flesh4561 didsee1492 corruption.1312

Act 4:1 And1161 as they846 spake2980 unto4314 the3588 people,2992 the3588 priests,2409and2532 the3588 captain4755 of the3588 temple,2411 and2532 the3588 Sadducees,4523 cameupon2186 them,846

Act 4:2 Being grieved1278 that they846 taught1321 the3588 people,2992 and2532 preached2605through1722 Jesus2424 the3588resurrection386 from1537 the dead.3498

Act 23:6 But1161 when Paul3972 perceived1097 that3754 the3588 one1520 part3313 were2076Sadducees,4523 and1161 the3588 other2087 Pharisees,5330 he cried out2896 in1722 the3588council,4892 Men435andbrethren,80 I1473 am1510 a Pharisee,5330 the son5207 of aPharisee:5330 of4012 the hope1680 and2532resurrection386 of the dead3498 I1473 am called

in question.

2919

Act 23:7 And1161 when he846 had so5124 said,2980 there arose1096 a dissension4714between the3588 Pharisees5330 and2532 the3588 Sadducees:4523 and2532 the3588multitude4128 was divided.4977

Act 23:8 For1063 the(3303) Sadducees4523 say3004 that there is1511 no3361 resurrection,386neither3366 angel,32 nor3383 spirit:4151 but1161 the Pharisees5330 confess3670 both.297

Act 24:15 And have2192 hope1680 toward1519 God,2316 which3739 they3778 themselves846also2532 allow,4327 that there shall3195 be1510 a resurrection386 of the dead,3498 both5037of the just1342 and2532 unjust.94

Forgiveness of sin

Not a new testament idea

Act 26:6 And2532 now3568 I stand2476 and am judged2919 for1909 the hope1680 of the3588promise1860 made1096 of5259 God2316 unto4314 our fathers:3962

Act 26:7 Unto1519 which3739promise our2257 twelve tribes,1429 instantly1722, 1616serving3000Godday2250 and2532 night,3571 hope1679 to come.2658 For4012 which3739hope's1680 sake, king935 Agrippa,67 I am accused1458 of5259 the3588 Jews.2453

Act 26:8 Why5101 should it be thought2919 a thing incredible571 with3844 you,5213 that1487God2316 should raise1453 the dead?3498

Act 13:32 And2532 we2249 declare unto you glad tidings,2097, 5209 how that the3588promise1860 which was made1096 unto4314 the3588 fathers,3962

Eph 1:6 To1519 the praise1868 of the glory1391 of his848 grace,5485 wherein1722, 3739 he hathmade us accepted5487, 2248 in1722 the3588 beloved.25

Eph 1:7 In1722 whom3739 we have2192 redemption629 through1223 his846 blood,129 the3588forgiveness859 of sins,3900 according2596 to the3588 riches4149 of his846 grace;5485

Psa 32:1 Of David. A maskil. Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whosesins are covered.

Psa 32:2 Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD does not count against him and inwhose spirit is no deceit.

Rom 4:7 Saying, Blessed3107are they whose3739 iniquities458 are forgiven,863 and2532whose3739 sins266 are covered.1943

Rom 4:8 Blessed3107is the man435 to whom3739 the Lord2962 will not3364 impute3049 sin.266

Jer 31:31 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that I will make3772 anew2319covenant1285 with854 the house1004 of Israel,3478 and with854 the house1004 ofJudah:3063

Jer 32:40 And I will make3772

covenant1285

with them, that834

I willnot3808 turn away7725 from4480, 310 them, to do them good;3190, (853) but I will put5414 myfear3374 in their hearts,3824 that they shall not1115 depart5493 from4480, 5921 me.

Isa 54:10 For3588 the mountains2022 shall depart,4185 and the hills1389 be removed;4131 butmy kindness2617 shall not3808 depart4185 from4480, 854 thee, neither3808 shall thecovenant1285 of my peace7965 be removed,4131 saith559 the LORD3068 that hathmercy7355 on thee.

Joh 16:9 Of4012 sin,266(3303) because3754 they believe4100 not3756 on1519 me;1691

Eph 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as inChrist God forgave you.

Col 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have againstone another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Act 10:43 All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receivesforgiveness of sins through his name."

Heb 9:12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he enteredthe Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternalredemption.

Heb 9:22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, andwithout the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.


10/25

Heb 9:23 It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified withthese sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices thanthese.

Heb 9:24 For Christ did not enter a man-made sanctuary that was only a copy of thetrue one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's presence.

Heb 9:25 Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the highpriest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.Heb 9:26 Then Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the

world. But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away withsin by the sacrifice of himself.

Heb 9:27 Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,Heb 9:28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he

will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who arewaiting for him.

Rev 1:5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead,

and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us fromour sins by his blood,

Heb 7:18 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and uselessHeb 7:19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which

we draw near to God.Heb 7:20 And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath,Heb 7:21 but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him: "The Lord has

sworn and will not change his mind: 'You are a priest forever.' "Heb 7:22 Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

Heb 7:23 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them fromcontinuing in office;

Heb 7:24 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.Heb 7:25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him,

because he always lives to intercede for them.Heb 7:26 Such a high priest meets our need--one who is holy, blameless, pure, set

apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.Heb 7:27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after

day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for theirsins once for all when he offered himself.

Heb 7:28 For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which

came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.

Col 2:13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinfulnature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,

Col 2:14 having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us andthat stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross.


11/25

Col 2:15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacleof them, triumphing over them by the cross.

Col 2:16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regardto a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.

Col 2:17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is

found in Christ.

Death has been deafeted Rom 5:21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace mightreign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Eph 2:1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,Eph 2:2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the

ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who aredisobedient.

Eph 2:3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinfulnature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by natureobjects of wrath.

Eph 2:4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,Eph 2:5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by

grace you have been saved.Eph 2:6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly

realms in Christ Jesus,Eph 2:7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his

grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.Eph 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from

yourselves, it is the gift of God--Eph 2:9 not by works, so that no one can boast.Eph 2:10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,

which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Rom 6:3 Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus werebaptized into his death?

Rom 6:4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,

just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too maylive a new life.Rom 6:5 If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be

united with him in his resurrection.Rom 6:6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin

might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin--Rom 6:7 because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.Rom 6:8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.


12/25

Rom 6:9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again;death no longer has mastery over him.

Rom 6:10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives toGod.

Rom 6:11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ

Jesus.Rom 6:12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evildesires.

Rom 6:13 Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, butrather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life;and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness.

Rom 6:14 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but undergrace.

Rom 6:15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Byno means!

Rom 6:16 Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as

slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey--whether you are slaves to sin,which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?Rom 6:17 But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you

wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted.Rom 6:18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.Rom 6:19 I put this in human terms because you are weak in your natural selves. Just

as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading toholiness.

Rom 6:20 When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control ofrighteousness.

Rom 6:21 What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamedof? Those things result in death!

Rom 6:22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves toGod, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesusour Lord.

1Jo 5:16 If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he shouldpray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death.There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that.

Repentance

The parable of the unjust servant.

Holiness.

Rom 8:12 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation--but it is not to the sinful nature, tolive according to it.

1Co 6:11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you weresanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit ofour God.

Act 20:32 Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build youup and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

1Co 1:2 To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and calledto be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord JesusChrist--their Lord and ours:

Act 26:18 to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the powerof Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among thosewho are sanctified by faith in me.'

Rom 15:16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles with the priestly duty ofproclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offeringacceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

1Th 4:3 It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexualimmorality;


14/25

Heb 10:29 How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished whohas trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the bloodof the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

----------------

Heb 12:4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of sheddingyour blood.

How to resist Sin?

1Pe 1:14-2:12

Gal 5:24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with itspassions and desires.

Gal 5:25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

Jam 1:13-16 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannotbe tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;

Jam 1:14 but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away andenticed.

Jam 1:15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

Jam 1:16 Don't be deceived, my dear brothers.

Eph 2:1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,Eph 2:2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the

ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who aredisobedient. (contrast it with Efes 3:30 there is another Spirit within us at work withinus)

Eph 2:3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinfulnature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by natureobjects of wrath.

1Pe 4:1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the sameattitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin.


15/25

1Pe 4:2 As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires,but rather for the will of God.

1Pe 4:3 For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do--living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.

1Pe 4:4 They think it strange that you do not plunge with them into the same flood of

dissipation, and they heap abuse on you.1Pe 4:5 But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living andthe dead.

Rom 13:14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think abouthow to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

Phi 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whateveris pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent orpraiseworthy--think about such things.

Jam 4:7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1Co 15:34 Come back to yoursenses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there aresome who are ignorant of God--I say this to your shame.

1Co 15:34 Come back to your senses ( awake to righteousness) as you ought, and stopsinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God--I say this to your shame.

2Ti 2:26 and that they will come to theirsenses and escape from the trap of the devil,who has taken them captive to do his will.

2Ti 2:26 and that they will come to theirsenses and escape from the trap of the devil,who has taken them captive to do his will.

Rom 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodiesas living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship.

Rom 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed bythe renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's willis-- his good, pleasing and perfect will.


16/25

1Jo 2:15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, thelove of the Father is not in him.

1Jo 2:16 For everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes andthe boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the

world.1Jo 2:17 The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God

lives forever.

What should we wear (clothe yourselves with Christ)

Rom 13:8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love oneanother, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law.

Rom 13:9 The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do notsteal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, aresummed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

Rom 13:10 Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of thelaw.

Rom 13:11 And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you towake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we firstbelieved.

Rom 13:12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the

deeds of darkness and puton the armor of light.Rom 13:13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness,

not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.Rom 13:14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about

how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

Eph 4:21 Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth

that is in Jesus.Eph 4:22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self,

which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;Eph 4:23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds;Eph 4:24 and to puton the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and

holiness.Eph 4:25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his

neighbor, for we are all members of one body.


17/25

Eph 4:26 In your anger do not sin : Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,Eph 4:27 and do not give the devil a foothold.

Col 3:5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexualimmorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.

Col 3:6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.Col 3:7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.Col 3:8 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage,

malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.Col 3:9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practicesCol 3:10 and have puton the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the

image of its Creator.Col 3:11 Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian,

Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

Col 3:12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselveswith compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Col 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have againstone another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Col 3:14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfectunity.

Gal 3:26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,Gal 3:27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves withChrist.

The freedom we have (Joh 8:34 Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone whosins is a slave to sin.)

Joh 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.


18/25

Rom 6:18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

Rom 6:22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves toGod, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.

Gal 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not letyourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Heb 9:15 For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who arecalled may receive the promised eternal inheritance--now that he has died as a ransomto set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.

Rom 6:7 because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.

Heb 9:14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spiritoffered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead todeath, so that we may serve the living God!

Heb 13:12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holythrough his own blood.

Heb 9:22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and

without the shedding ofblood there is no forgiveness.

Rev 1:5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead,and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from oursins by his blood,

Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to bewith me that you also may be where I am.

Joh 14:4 You know the way to the place where I am going."Joh 14:5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can

we know the way?"

Joh 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to theFather except through me.Joh 14:7 If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you

do know him and have seen him."Joh 14:8 Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."Joh 14:9 Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among

you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can yousay, 'Show us the Father'?

Joh 14:10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? Thewords I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who isdoing his work.

Joh 14:11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or atleast believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.Joh 14:12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been

doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.Joh 14:13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory

to the Father.Joh 14:14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.Joh 14:15 If you love me, you will obey what I command.Joh 14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with

you forever--Joh 14:17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him

nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.Joh 14:18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.Joh 14:19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because

I live, you also will live.Joh 14:20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I

am in you.Joh 14:21 Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me.

He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myselfto him."

Joh 14:22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, Lord, why do you intend to showyourself to us and not to the world?"

Joh 14:23 Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father willlove him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

Joh 14:24 He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hearare not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

Joh 14:25 All this I have spoken while still with you.Joh 14:26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,

will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.


23/25

Joh 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the worldgives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Joh 14:28 You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If youloved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greaterthan I.

Joh 14:29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you willbelieve.Joh 14:30 I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming.

He has no hold on me,Joh 14:31 but the world must learn that I love the Father and that I do exactly what my

Father has commanded me. "Come now; let us leave.

Joh 6:27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, whichthe Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal ofapproval."

Joh 6:28 Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?"Joh 6:29 Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."Joh 6:30 So they asked him, "What miraculous sign then will you give that we may see

it and believe you? What will you do?Joh 6:31 Our forefathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written: 'He gave them

bread from heaven to eat.' "Joh 6:32 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you the

bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.Joh 6:33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the

world."Joh 6:34 Sir, they said, "from now on give us this bread."Joh 6:35 Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never

go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.Joh 6:36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.Joh 6:37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will

never drive away.Joh 6:38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him

who sent me.Joh 6:39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has

given me, but raise them up at the last day.

Joh 6:40 For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in himshall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."

Joh 6:41 At this the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, "I am the breadthat came down from heaven."

Joh 6:42 They said, "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother weknow? How can he now say, 'I came down from heaven'?"

Joh 6:43 Stop grumbling among yourselves, Jesus answered.


24/25

Joh 6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I willraise him up at the last day.

Joh 6:45 It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone wholistens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.

Joh 6:46 No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has

seen the Father.Joh 6:47 I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life.Joh 6:48 I am the bread of life.Joh 6:49 Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died.Joh 6:50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat

and not die.Joh 6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this

bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of theworld."

Joh 6:52 Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, "How can this mangive us his flesh to eat?"

Joh 6:53 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son ofMan and drink his blood, you have no life in you.Joh 6:54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise

him up at the last day.Joh 6:55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.Joh 6:56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.Joh 6:57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one

who feeds on me will live because of me.Joh 6:58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate mannaand died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever."

1Co 1:30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for uswisdom from God--that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.

1Co 1:31 Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."

Phi 3:9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from thelaw, but that which is through faith in Christ-- the righteousness that comes from Godand is by faith.

Phi 3:10 I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship ofsharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,

Phi 1:11 filled with the fruit ofrighteousness that comes through Jesus Christ--to theglory and praise of God.


25/25

1Pe 2:24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sinsand live forrighteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

1Jo 2:1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody doessin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense--Jesus Christ, the

Righteous One.

Heb 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of theliving God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyfulassembly,

Heb 12:23 to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You havecome to God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of righteous men made perfect,

Heb 12:24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood thatspeaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

On the miracle of resurrection

A famous skeptic once commented that

no testimony is sufficient to establish "a miracle the testimony be of such a kindthat

its falsehood would be more miraculous, than the facts, which it endeavors to

establish.
