1 Timothy 1:15-17 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. Read the context He was a...

Psalm 119:71–72 It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees. The law from your mouth is more precious to me — than thousands of pieces of silver and gold. Read the context Almost everything has a price tag. With the right amount of money, you can have whatever you want. You can't earn your way into them either. They're freely given. Even in his trouble, God's Word was worth more than anything money could touch to the writer of this Psalm. Trouble strips back what is...

Romans 8:14–17 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in...
