PROMISES
Conviction
Do not
be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the
soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both
soul and body in hell.
Matthew 10:28
Forgiveness
But if
a wicked man turns away from all the sins he has
committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just
and right, he will surely live; he will not die. None of
the offenses he has committed will be remembered against
him.
Ezekiel 18:21-22
Sickness
As he
went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples
asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents,
that he was born blind?" “Neither this man nor his
parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that
the work of God might be displayed in his life."
John 9:1-3
Dear
friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you
are suffering, as though something strange were
happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in
the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed
when his glory is revealed.
1 Peter 4:12-13
Worries
Seek ye
first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these
things will be added to you. Do not be anxious for
tomorrow; for tomorrow will take care of itself. Each
day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:33-34
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in
God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many
rooms. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am
going there to prepare a place for you.
John 14:1
Peace I
leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world
gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be
troubled, nor let it be fearful.
John 14:27
Suffering
Therefore, having been justified by faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
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. Not only so, but we also
rejoice in our suffering, because we know that suffering
produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and
character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us,
because God has poured out his love into our hearts by
the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
Romans 5:1-5
Troubles
“My
grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made
perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the
more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power
may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I
delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in
persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then
I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face
trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing
of your faith develops perseverance.
James 1:2-3
Financial Hardship
Consider
how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I
tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was
dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes
the grass of the field, which is here today, and
tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he
clothe you, O you of little faith!
Luke 12:27-28
I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned
to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it
is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.
I have learned the secret of being content in any and
every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether
living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through
him who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:11-13
Marriage to Unbelievers
You
must not intermarry with them, because they will surely
turn your hearts after their gods. As Solomon grew old,
his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his
heart was not fully devoted to the Lord his God.
1 Kings 11:2,4
