Our light

1 John 2: 1-3 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense, Jesus Christ the righteous one. He is the sole atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands.

Sin and purification

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

Only God

Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.

Momentary troubles

2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 

The Lord's guidance

The LORD will guide me always; he will satisfy my needs in a sun scorched land and will strengthen my frame. I will be like a well watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

No one is righteous

Romans 3:9 - 20 As sinners, none of us are better than each other. There is no one that is righteous because there are none who truly understands God. We have all turned away from God in our selfish desires. Therefore no one can be deemed righteous. However, the only way to have righteousness is through faith in Jesus Christ.

Stand firm

2 Thessalonians 13-17 We ought to always thank God because from the beginning God chose you to be saved from the sanctifying work through the holy spirit and through your belief in the truth. Therefore, stand firm and hold the word and God's teachings close to heart and may our Lord Jesus Christ and God our father in his eternal grace give us motivation and good hope so that we may be strengthened in every good word and deed.
