conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

God Is Love, God Is Good, God Is One!

Apostle Paul sharing Reading this note: Galatians 2:20
Sent to the Gentiles by Jesus Christ Our Lord!

I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer
I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which
I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of
God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
Galatians 2:20

Jesus said In Our Bible {NASB} John 3:1-8
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

{1} Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named
Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;

{2} this man came to Jesus by night and said to him,
“Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as
teacher; for no one can do these signs that You
do unless God is with him.

{3} Jesus answered and said to him,
“Truly, Truly, I say to you, unless one is born
again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

{4} Nicodemus said to Him,
“How can a man be born when he is old?
He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s
womb and be born, can he?”

{5} Jesus answered,
” Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born
of water and the spirit he cannot enter the
kingdom of God.

{6} “That which is born of the flesh is flesh,
and that which is born of the spirit is spirit.

{7} ” Do not be amazed that I said to you,
‘You must be born again.’

{8} ” The wind blows where it wishes and you
hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes
from and where it is going; so is everyone who
is born of the spirit.”

But what does it say? “THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH
AND IN YOUR HEART” – that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,

that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your
heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with
the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE
DISAPPOINTED.” ROMANS 10:8-11

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It Is Written In Our Bible {NASB}
1 John 5:1-5
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

{1} Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God,
and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him.

{2} By this we know that we love the children of God,
when we love God and observe His commandments.

{3} For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments;
and His commandments are not burdensome.

{4} For whatever is born of God overcomes the world;
and this is the victory that has overcome the
world-our faith.

{5} Who is the one who overcomes the world,
but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

John 1:1-5, 12-13 {Updated-NASB}
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[I] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God.

[2] He was in the beginning with God.

[3] All things came into being through Him,
and apart from Him nothing came into being
that has come into being.

[4] In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.

[5] The Light shines in the darkness, and the
darkness did not comprehend it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[12] But as many as received Him, to them He
gave the right to become children of God,
even to those who believe in His name,

[13] who were born, not of blood nor of the will
of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Because It is Written In Our Bible
Acts 10: 34-44 {Updated-NASB}
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[34] Opening his mouth, Peter said:
“I most certainly understand now that God is not
one to show partiality,

[35] but in every nation the man who fears Him and does
what is right is welcome to Him.

[36] “The word which He sent to the sons of Israel,
preaching  peace through Jesus Christ  (He is Lord of all)

[37] you yourselves know the thing which took place
through out all Judea, starting from Galilee,
after the baptism which John proclaimed.

[38] “You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him
with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about
doing good and healing all who where oppressed by
the devil, for God was with Him.

[39] “We are witnesses of all the things He did both in
the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They also put Him
to death by hanging Him on a cross.

[40] “God raised Him up on the third day and granted
that He become visible,

[41] not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen
beforehand by God, that is, to us who ate and drank with
Him after He arose from the dead.

[42] “And He ordered us to preach to the people, and solemnly to
testify that this is the One who has been appointed by God
as Judge of the living and the dead.

[43] “Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name
everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”

[44] While Peter was still speaking these words,
the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were
listening to the message.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It Is Written In Our Bible {NASB}
Romans 5:1-19
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[1] Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

[2] through whom also we have obtained our introduction
by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we
exult in hope of the glory of God.

[3] And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations,
knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;

[4] and perseverance, proven character; and proven
character, hope;

[5] and hope does not disappoint, because the love
of God has been poured out within our hearts through
the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

[6] For while we were still helpless, at the right time
Christ died for the ungodly.

[7] For one will hardly die for a righteous man;
though perhaps for a good man someone
would dare even to die.

[8] But God demonstrates His own love toward us,
in that while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us.

[9] Much more then, having now been justified
by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath
of God through Him.

[10] For if while we were enemies we were reconciled
to God through the death of His Son, much more,
having been reconciled, we shall be saved
by His life.

[11] And not only this, but we also exult in God
through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we
have now received the reconciliation.

[12] Therefore, just as through one man sin entered
into the world, and death through sin, and so
death spread to all men, because all sinned-

[13] for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin
is not not imputed when there is no law.

[14] Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses,
even over those who had not sinned in the likeness
of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him
who was to come.

[15] But the free gift is not like the transgression.
For if by the transgression of the one the many died,
much more did the grace of God and the gift by the
grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ,
abound to the many.

[16] The gift is not like that which came through
the one who sinned; for on the one hand the
judgment arose from one transgression resulting
in condemnation, but on the other hand the
free gift arose from many transgressions
resulting in justification.

[17] For if by the transgression of the one, death
reigned through the one, much more those
who received the abundance of grace
and of the gift of righteousness will
reign in life through the One,
Jesus Christ.

[18] So then as through one transgression there
resulted condemnation to all men, even so
through one act of righteousness there
resulted justification of life to all men.

[19] For as through the one man’s disobedience
the many were made sinners, even so through
the obedience of the One the many will
be made righteous.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power
of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the
Jew first and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It Is Written In Our Bible {NASB}
Romans 8:1-22
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[1] Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those
who are in Christ Jesus.

[2] For the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus
has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

[3] For what the Law could not do, weak as it was
through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son
in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering
for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

[4] so that the requirement of the Law might be
fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to
the flesh but according to the Spirit.

[5] For those who are according to the flesh
set their minds on the things of the flesh,
but those who are according to the Spirit,
the things of the Spirit.

[6] For the mind set on the flesh is death,
but the mind set on the Spirit is life
and peace.

[7] because the mind set on the flesh is hostile
toward God; for it does not subject itself to
the law of God, for it is not even able to do so.

[8] and those who are in the flesh cannot
please God.

[9] However, you are not in the flesh but in the
Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you.
But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,
he does not belong to Him.

[10] If Christ is in you, though the body is dead
because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because
of righteousness.

[11] But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus
from the dead dwells in you, He who raised
Christ Jesus from the dead will also give
life to your mortal bodies through
His Spirit who dwells in you.

[12] So then, brethren we are under obligation,
not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh-

[13] for if you are living according to the flesh,
you must die, but if by the Spirit you are putting
to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

[14] For all who are being led by the Spirit of God,
these are sons of God.

[15] For you have not received a spirit of slavery
leading to fear again, but you have received
a spirit of adoption as sons by which we
cry out, “Abba! Father!”

[16] The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit
that we are children of God,

[17] and if children, heirs also, heirs of God
and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we
suffer with Him so that we may also be
glorified with Him.

[18] For I consider that the sufferings of this
present time are not worthy to be compared
with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

[19] For the anxious longing of the creation
waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.

[20] For the creation was subject to futility
not willingly, but because of Him who subjected
it, in hope.

[21] that the creation itself also will be set
free from its slavery to corruption into the
freedom of the glory of the children of God.

[22] For we know that the whole creation
groans and suffers the pains of childbirth
together until now.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It Is Written In Our Bible {NASB}
Luke 2:32

A LIGHT OF REVELATION TO THE GENTILES,
And the glory of Your people Israel.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[15] For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision,
but a new creation.

[16] And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy
be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

[17] From now on let no one cause trouble for me,
for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus.

[18] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be
with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
Galatians 6:15-18 {Updated NASB}

Ephesians 2:8-22
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

{8} For by grace you have been saved through faith; and not
of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

{9} not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

{10} For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that
we would walk in them.

{11} Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in
the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision,” by the so-called
“Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands-

{12} remember that you were at that time separate from
Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and
strangers to the covenants of promise, having no
hope and without God in the world.

{13} But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far
off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

{14} For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups
into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,

{15} by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is
the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that
in Himself He might make the two into one new man,
thus establishing peace,

{16} and might reconcile them both in one body to God
through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.

{17} AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO
WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR;

{18} for through Him we both have our access in one
Spirit to the Father.

{19} So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you
are fellow citizens with the saints, and are
of God’s household,

{20} having been built on the foundation of the apostles
and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,

{21} in whom the whole building, being fitted together,
is growing into a holy temple in the Lord,

{22} in whom you also are being built together into
a dwelling of God in the Spirit.

Psalm 103:19-22 {Updated-NASB}
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[I9] The LORD has established His throne in the heavens,
And His sovereignty rules over all.

[20] Bless the LORD, you His angels,
Mighty in strength, who perform His word,
Obeying the voice of His word!

[21] Bless the LORD, all you His host,
You who serve Him, doing His will.

[22] Bless the LORD, all you works of His,
In all places of His dominion;
Bless the LORD, O my soul.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Psalm 33:1-15 {It is written in Our Bible NASB}
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

{1} Sing for joy in the LORD, O you righteous ones;
Praise is becoming to the upright.

{2} Give thanks to the LORD with lyre;
Sing praises to Him with harp of ten strings.

{3} Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.

{4}For the word of the LORD is upright,
And all His work is done in faithfulness.

{5} He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.

{6} By the word of the LORD the heavens were made,
And by the breath of His mouth all their host.

{7} He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;
He lays up the deeps in storehouses.

{8} Let all the earth fear the LORD;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand
in awe of Him.

{9} For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.

{10} The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations;
He frustrates the plans of the peoples.

{11} The counsel of the LORD stands forever,
The plans of His heart from generation to generation.

{12} Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.

{13} The LORD looks from heaven;
He see all the sons of men;

{14} From His dwelling place He looks He looks out
On all the inhabitants of the earth,

{15} He who fashions the hearts of them all,
He who understands all their works.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

{10} Finally, be strong in the Lord and in
the strength of His might.

{11} ” Put on the full armor of God, so that you
will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

{12} For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the powers, against the
world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces
of wickedness in the heavenly places.

{13} “Therefore, take up the full armor of God,
so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and
having done everything, to stand firm.

{14} Stand firm therefore, Having GIRDED YOUR LOINS
WITH TRUTH, AND HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE
OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,

{15} and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION
OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE;

{16} in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith
with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming
arrows of the evil one.

{17} And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

{18} With all prayer and petition pray at all
times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert
with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,

{19} and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be
given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make
known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,

{20} for which I am an ambassador in chains;
that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly,
as I ought to speak.

{16} Therefore from now on we recognize no one according
to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according
to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.

{17} Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature,
the old things passed away; behold new things have come.

{18} Now all these things are from God, who reconciled
us to Himself through Christ and gave us the
ministry of reconciliation,

{19} namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world
to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them,
and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

{20} Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though
God were making an appeal through us; we beg you
on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

{21} He made Him who knew no sin to be sin
on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness
of God in Him.
