Even as in His love He chose us
in Christ before the foundation
of the world, that we should be
holy and blameless in His sight,
even above reproach, before Him
in love.
(Ephesians 1.4).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Now who is here to hurt you if you are
zealous followers of that which is good?
But even in case you should suffer for
the sake of righteousness, you are blessed.
Do not be afraid of their threats, nor be
disturbed by their opposition.
But in your hearts set Christ apart as holy
and acknowledge Him as Lord.
Always be ready to give a logical defense
to anyone who asks you to account for
the hope that is in you, but do it courteously
and respectfully.
(I.Peter 3.13-15).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Therefore, as God’s chosen people,
holy and dearly loved, clothe
yourselves with compassion,
kindness, humility, gentleness
and patience.
(Colossians 3.12).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Once you were alienated from God
and were enemies in your minds
because of your evil behavior.
But now He has reconciled you
by Christ’s physical body through
death to present you holy in His
sight, without blemish and free
from accusation- if you continue
in your faith, established and
firm, not moved from the hope
held out in the gospel (Best News
Ever). This is the gospel that you
heard and that has been proclaimed
to every creature under heaven, and
of which I, Paul have become a servant.
(Colossians 1.21-23).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Bless the Lord, O my soul;
and all that is within me,
bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your  iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from
destruction, Who crowns you
with loving-kindness and tender
mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with
good things, so that your youth
is renewed like the eagle’s.
(Psalm 103.1-5).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who
share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts
on Jesus, the apostle and high priest Whom we
confess.
(Hebrews 3.1).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
But just as He Who called you is holy,
so be holy in all you do; for it is written:
“Be holy, because I am holy.”
(I. Peter 1.15 & 16).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people
belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him Who called
you out of darkness into His wonderful light.
(I.Peter 3.9).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
As you come to Him, the living Stone
- rejected by men but chosen by God
and precious to Him- you also, like
living stones, are being built into a spiritual
house to be a holy priesthood, offering
spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God
through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a chosen and precious cornerstone,
and the one who trusts in Him
will never be put to shame.”
Now to you who believe, this stone is precious.
But to those who do not believe,
“The stone the builders rejected has
become the capstone,”
“A stone that causes men to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall.”
They stumble because they disobey
the message- which is also what
they were destined for.
But you are a chosen people, a royal
priesthood, a holy nation, a people
belonging to God, that you may declare
the praises of Him Who called you
out of darkness into His wonderful light.
(I. Peter 2.4-9).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully
on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children,
do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just
as He Who calle dyou is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ” Be holy,
because I am holy.”
(I. Peter
