Love

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely; does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. [1 Cor. 13:8]

And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in in love abides in God, and God in him. Love has been perfected among us in this; that we may have boldness in the day of judgement; because as He is, so are we in this world. [1 John 4:17]

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. [1 John 4:18]

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul], and with all your strength. [Deut. 6:5] We love Him because He first loved us. [1 John 4:19]

And this is the commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us a commandment. [1 John 3:23]

Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith. [1 Tim. 1:5]

May Christ dwell in your hearts through faith; that I being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and the length and the depth and the height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. [Ephes. 3:17-19]

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor anything, shall be able to separate me from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. [Rom. 8:38-39]

And walk in love, as Christ also loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma [Eph. 5:2]

By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay our lives for the brethren. [1 John 3:16]

And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins." [1 Pet. 4:8]

Owe no one nothing except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. [Rom. 13:8]

My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. [1 John 3:18]

Now Jonathan again caused David to vow, because he loved him, for he loved him as he loved his own soul. [1 Sam. 20:17]

Husbands love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. [Eph. 5:25,28]
Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. [Eph. 5:33]

Beloved, let us love one another for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. [1 John 4:7-8]

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. [1 John 4:10-11]

No one has seen God at anytime. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. .because He has given us His Spirit. [1 John 4:12-13]

Now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest is love. [1 Cor. 13:13]

Above all these things (good character) put on love, which is the bond of perfection. [Col. 3:14]

Let all you do be done with love. [1 Cor. 16:14]

Obedience

Behold to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. [1 Sam. 15:22]

If you do this thing, and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all this people will also go to their place in peace. [Exod. 18:23]

My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not forsake the law of your mother; for they will be graceful ornament on your head, and chains about your neck. [Prov 1:8]

Then it shall come to pass, because you listen to these judgements, and keep and do them, that the Lord your God will keep with you the covenant and the mercy which He swore to your fathers. And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock, in the land which He swore to your fathers to give you.
You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female barren among you or your livestock. And the Lord will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you. ... [Deut 7:12-15]

So if you walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days. [1 Kings 3:14]

And the Lord said to Joshua: "See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its King, and the mighty men of valor. You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram's horn and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city shall fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him. [Josh 6:2.5]

Now Joshua had commanded the people saying "You shall not shout or make any noise with your voice, nor shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, 'Shout!' Then you shall shout." [Josh 6:10] "Shout, for the Lord has given you the city!" [Josh 6:16]
So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. [Josh 6:20]

So when He (Jesus) saw them, He said to them, "Go show yourselves to the priests." And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. [Matt. 17:14]

If they obey and serve Him (God), they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. But if they do not obey, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. [Job 36:11]

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous. [Rom 5:19]

Belief

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. (John 3:16)
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. [John 3:18] He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. (John 3:36)

"If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me and I in Him." [John 10:37-38] Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. (John 14:11)

"If I told you earthly things and you did not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?" (John 3:12)

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And He whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25-26)
Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?" (John 11:40)

So they said "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household." (Acts 16:31)

Therefore let it be known to you brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. (Acts 13:38-39)

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:12-13)

In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. (Eph. 1:13)

"He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of His heart will flow rivers of living water." [John 7:38]

For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is the truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe. (1 Thess. 2:13)

And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. (Mark 16:17)

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. (Mark 11:24)

Believe the Lord your God and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper. (2 Chron. 20:20)

For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame." (Rom. 10:11)

To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins. (Acts 10:43) While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. (Acts 10:44-46)

If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes. (Mark 9:23)

Trust

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked, but he who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him. (Ps. 32:10)

Let all those rejoice who put our trust in You; let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them. (Ps. 5:11)

Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. (Ps. 55:22)

Our fathers trusted in You; they trusted, and You delivered them. They cried to You, and were delivered; they trusted in You, and were not ashamed. (Ps. 22:4-5)

Benefits of Trusting

For He shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when the heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit. [Jer. 17:7-8]

Commit your way to the Lord, trust in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. (Ps. 37:5-6)

Blessed is the man who makes the Lord His trust, and does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. (Ps. 40:4)

Faith - (part 1)

Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Heb. 11:1)

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Rom. 10:17)
But without FAITH it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently SEEK Him. (Heb. 11:6)
The righteousness of God .... is revealed ... through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all who believe. (Rom. 3:21-22)

Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed. (John 20:29)

A man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. [Rom 3:28]
Before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come we are no longer under a tutor; for we are all sons of God through faith in Jesus Christ. (Gal. 3:23-26)

That no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for "the just shall live by faith" (Gal. 3:11)
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law ... that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the SPIRIT through faith. (Gal. 3:14)
Therefore He who supplies the SPIRIT to you and works MIRACLES among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? (Gal. 3:5)

To everyone who is among you, do not think of yourself more highly than you ought to, but think soberly as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. (Rom. 12:3)

"I believe God that it will be just as it was told me." (Acts 27:25)

Faith - (part 2)

Genuine and Unshakeable Faith

If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, "Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea." and it would obey you. (Luke 17:6)
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, "Be removed and be cast into the sea", and does not doubt in his heart but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
Therefore whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. (Mark 11:23-24)
Ask in faith without doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. (James 1:6)

He (Abraham) did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith giving glory to God, being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. (Rom. 4:20-21)

The woman with the issue of blood for 12 years said to herself, "If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well." But Jesus turned around, saw her and said "Be of good cheer, daughter: your faith has made you well." (Matt. 9:20-22)
The centurion with the paralyzed and tormented servant said "Lord, I'm not worthy that you should come under my roof. Only speak a word and my servant shall be healed. ... Jesus marveled at such great faith ... and said "Go your way: as you have believed, so let it be done for you." and his servant was healed that same hour. (Matt. 8:5-8,10,13)

If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Rom 10:9)

With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. (Matt 19:26)
For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? Certainly not! Indeed let God be true but every man a liar. (Rom. 3:3-4)
Your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. (1 Cor. 2:5)
For we walk by faith, not by sight. (2 Cor. 5:7) Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. (2 Cor. 13:5)

What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled, but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. (James 2:14-17)

Above all take the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. (Eph. 6:16)
Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. (1 Cor. 16:13)

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called ... (2 Tim. 6:12)
For all who are kept by the power of God through faith, greatly rejoice, ... though grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honour, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. ... Receiving the end of your faith - the salvation of your souls. (1 Pet. 1:5-9)

Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is your faithfulness. (Lam. 3:22-23)

Fulfillment

Believe, when God promises a thing, it does come to pass. Neither your unbelief, interventions, nor time can alter it's fulfillment.

Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. (Jer. 33:14).

There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised.... (1 Kings 8:56)

Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass. (Josh 21:45)

"These are the words which I spoke to you while I (Jesus) was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me." (Luke 24:44)

Prophecy/Fulfillment

About this time next year you shall embrace a son. (2 Kings 4:16)

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name "Immanuel". (which is translated, "God with us".)

Now the birth of Jesus is as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.

And he called His name Jesus. (Matt. 1:25)

I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. (2 Sam. 7:12-13)

And when Joseph came, they brought him the present, which was in their hand into the house, and bowed down before him to the earth. (Gen 43:26) So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, and he was still there; and they fell before him on the ground. (Gen. 44:14)

.. and they bowed their heads down and prostrated themselves. [Gen. 43:28]
