We die to sin; how can we live
in it any longer? Or don’t you know
that all who were baptized into
Christ Jesus were baptized into His
death? 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
may live a new life.
(Romans 6.2b-4).
HALLELUJAH THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
In Him we were also chosen,
having been predestined
according to the plan of Him
Who works out everything
in conformity with the purpose
of His will, in order that we, who
were the first to hope in Christ,
might be for the praise of His glory.
(Ephesians 1.11 & 12).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
To Him Who is able to keep you
from falling and to present you
before His glorious presence
without fault and with great joy-
to the only God our Savior be
glory, majesty, power, authority,
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
before all ages, now and forevermore!
(Jude 24 & 25).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Amen!
Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ,
to those who through the righteousness of our God
and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as
precious as ours:
Grace and peace be yours in abundance through
the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord
His divine power has given us everything we need
for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him
Who called us by His own glory and goodness.
Through these He has given us His very great and
precious promises, so that through them you may
participate in the divine nature and escape the
corruption in the word caused by evil desires.
(II.Peter 1.1-4).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
It is not to angels that He has subjected the
world to come, about which we are speaking.
But there is a place where someone has testified:
“What is man that You are mindful of Him, the
son of man that You care for him?
You made him a little lower than the angels;
You crowned him with glory and honor
and put everything under his feet.”
In putting everything under him, God left
nothing that is not subject to him.
Yet at present we do not see everything
subject to him. But we see Jesus, Who was made
a little lower than the angels, now crowned
with glory and honor because He suffered death,
so that by the grace of God He might taste death
for everyone.
In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that
God, for Whom and through Whom everything
exists, should make the author of their salvation
perfect through suffering. Both the One Who makes
men holy and those who are made holy are from
the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call
them brothers.
He says,
“I will declare Your name to My brothers.
In the presence of the congregation I will sing
Your praises.”
And again,
“I will put my trust in Him.”
And again He says,
“Here am I, and the children God has given Me.”
Since the children have flesh and blood,
He too shared in their humanity so that by
His death He might destroy him who holds
the power of death- that is, the devil-
and free those who all their lives were held in
slavery by their fear of death. For surely
it is not angels He helps, but Abraham’s descendants.
For this reason He had to be made like His brothers
in every way, in order that he might become a
merciful and faithful high priest in service to God,
and that He might make atonement for the sins of
the people. Because He Himself suffered when He was
tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.
(Hebrews 2.5-18).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and
the exact representation of His being,
sustaining all things by His powerful word.
After He had provided purification for sins,
He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty
in heaven. So he became as much superior to
the angels as the name He has inherited is
superior to theirs.
For to which of the angels did God ever say,
“You are My Son;
today I have become Your Father”?
Or again,
“I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”?
And again, when God Brings His firstborn into
the world, He says,
“Let all God’s angels worship Him.”
In speaking of the angels He says,
“He makes His angels winds,
His servants flames of fire.”
But about the Son He says,
“Your throne, O God, will last for
ever and ever,
and righteousness will be the
scepter of Your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and
hated wickedness;
therefore God, Your God, has
set You above Your companions
by anointing You with the oil of joy.”
(Hebrews 1.3-9).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
His divine power has given us everything we
need for life and godliness through our
knowledge of Him Who called us by His
own glory and goodness. Through these
He has given us His very great and
precious promises, so that through them
you may participate in the divine nature
and escape the corruption in the world
caused by evil desires.
For this reason, make every effort to add
to your faith goodness, and to goodness,
knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control;
and to self-control, perseverance; and to
perseverance, godliness; and to godliness,
brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness,
love.
For if you possess these qualities in
increasing measure, they will keep
you from being ineffective and
unproductive in your knowledge of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
But if anyone does not have them,
he is nearsighted and blind,
and has forgotten that he has been
cleansed from past sins.
(II. Peter 1.3-9).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use
whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering
God’s grace in its various forms.
If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God.
If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that
in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory
and the power for ever and ever. Amen!
It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.”
With that same spirit of faith we also believe and
therefore speak, because we know that
the One Who raisedthe Lord Jesus from the dead will
also raise us with Jesus and present us with you
in His presence.
All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching
more and more people may cause thanksgiving to
overflow to the glory of God.
Therefore we do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly
we are being renewed day by day.
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving
for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.
For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
(II. Corinthians 4.13-18).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
