1Co 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
1Jo 1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together
with unbelievers: for what fellowship
hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light
with darkness?
15 And what concord
hath Christ with Belial? or what part
hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement
hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living
God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and
I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them,
and be ye separate,
saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive
you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and
ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
2Jo 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth,
and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that
abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring
not this doctrine, receive him
not into your
house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is
partaker of his evil deeds.

THE PRESERVATION OF SCRIPTURE
THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
Ge 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Ge 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were
finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his
work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work
which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and
sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which
God created and
made.
4 These are the generations of
the heavens and of the earth when they were created,
in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
Isa 45:8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
Isa 45:12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
Isa 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that
created the heavens;
God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it,
he created it
not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there
is none else.
De 29:2 And Moses called unto all Israel,
and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes
in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto
all his land;
3 The great temptations which thine eyes
have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
Joh 2:11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
Joh 2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
Joh 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
Joh 6:2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
Joh 7:31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this [man] hath done?
Joh 11:47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
Ac 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
Ac 4:16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it..
Ac 6:8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
Ac 8:6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
Ac 15:12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
Ac 19:11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
Heb 2:4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
FATHER
2Pe 1:17 For he received from God the
Father honour
and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory,
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
SON
Joh 9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast
him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe
on the Son of
God?
36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord,
that I might believe on him?
37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast
both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he
worshipped him.
SPIRIT
Ac 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias,
why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy
Ghost, and to keep back part of the
price of the land?
4 Whiles it remained, was it not
thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast
thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men,
but unto God.
TOGETHER
Mt 3:16 And Jesus,
when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the
heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit
of God descending
like a dove, and lighting upon him:
17 And lo a
voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved
Son, in whom
I am well pleased.
Mt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
1Jo 5:7 For there are three
that bear record in heaven, the Father,
the Word, and
the Holy Ghost:
and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness
in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree
in one.
THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without
him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the
light of men.
Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Joh 8:53 Art thou greater than our father
Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself,
my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say,
that he is your God:
55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know
him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you:
but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see
my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art
not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily,
I say unto you, Before
Abraham was, I am.
Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I
know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life;
and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out
of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me,
is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out
of my Father's hand.
30 I
and my Father are one.
31 Then the Jews took up stones again
to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works
have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone
me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For
a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou,
being a man, makest thyself God.
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the
way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known
my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us
the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so
long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he
that hath seen me hath seen the Father;
and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
Ac 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
1Jo 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
Joh 20:24 But Thomas, one of the twelve,
called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples therefore said
unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall
see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print
of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26 And after eight days again his disciples
were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being
shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither
thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust
it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28 And Thomas answered
and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
WHO IS THE CREATOR?
JESUS CHRIST:
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things
were made by him;
and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Col 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father,
which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints
in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power
of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear
Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through
his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by
him were all
things created, that are in heaven, and that
are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or
dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him,
and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by
him all things
consist.
GOD - JEHOVAH:
Isa 42:5 Thus saith God
the LORD, he that created
the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and
that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon
it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
Isa 44:24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
Isa 45:12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
Isa 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
Ac 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to
all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom
God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before
you whole.
11 This is the stone which was set at
nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation
in any other: for there is none other name
under heaven given among men, whereby we
must be saved.
2Ti 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
Tit 1:4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Tit 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Tit 3:4 But after that the kindness and
love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Not by works of righteousness which
we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of
regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through
Jesus Christ
our Saviour;
GOD - JEHOVAH
Ps 106:21 They forgat God
their saviour,
which had done great things in Egypt;
Isa 43:3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
Isa 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
Isa 45:21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
1Ti 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
1Ti 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
1Ti 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
Tit 1:1 Paul, a servant of God, and an
apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the
acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
2 In hope of eternal life, which God,
that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
3 But hath in due times manifested his
word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment
of God our
Saviour;
Tit 2:10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
Tit 3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
WHO RAISED UP JESUS CHRIST?
THE FATHER:
Ac 3:26 Unto you first God,
having raised up
his Son Jesus,
sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
THE SON:
Joh 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto
them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I
will raise
it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years
was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the
dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they
believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
THE HOLY SPIRIT:
Ro 8:11 But if the
Spirit of him that raised
up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that
raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by
his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
GOD:
Ac 17:30 And the times of this ignorance
God winked at;
but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in
the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom
he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men,
in that he hath
raised him from
the dead.
1Jo 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Ac 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Joh 20:26 And after eight days again his
disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the
doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto
you.
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither
thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust
it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him,
My Lord and my God.
GOD - JEHOVAH:
Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses,
saith the LORD,
and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and
understand that I am he:
before me there
was no God formed,
neither shall there be after me.
Isa 44:6 Thus saith the
LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer
the LORD of hosts;
I am the first,
and I am the last;
and beside me
there is no God.
7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall
declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people?
and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.
8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have
not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are
even my witnesses. Is there a
God beside me? yea, there is no God;
I know not any.
Isa 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
Isa 45:21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
Isa 46:9 Remember the former things of
old: for I am God,
and there is none else;
I am God,
and there is none
like me,
WHO ARE WE TO WORSHIP?
Lu 4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto
him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship
the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou
serve.
Heb 1:5 For unto which of the angels said
he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again,
I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten
into the world, he saith, And let all the
angels of God worship him.
Joh 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
Isa 42:8 I
am the LORD: that is my
name: and my
glory will I
not give to
another, neither my praise to graven images.
Mt 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was
on this wise: When as his mother Mary
was espoused to Joseph, before they came together,
she was found
with child of the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just
man, and not
willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
20 But while he thought on these things,
behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph,
thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that
which is conceived in
her is of the
Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a
son, and thou shalt call his
name JESUS: for he
shall save his
people from their
sins.
22 Now all this was done, that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a
virgin shall be with child,
and shall bring forth a son,
and they shall call his name Emmanuel,
which being interpreted is,
God with us.
2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified
through the offering of the body
of Jesus Christ
once for all.
HIS BLOOD
Ro 3:21 But now the righteousness of God
without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which
is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe:
for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short
of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace
through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be
a propitiation through faith
in his blood,
to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through
the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time
his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which
believeth in Jesus.
Col 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father,
which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints
in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power
of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear
Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through
his blood,
even the forgiveness of sins:
Heb 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
Heb 9:26 For then must he often have suffered
since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world
hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once
to die, but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once offered to bear
the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second
time without sin unto salvation.
Heb 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected
for ever them that are sanctified.
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also
is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I
will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws
into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will
I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is,
there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness
to enter into the holiest by the blood
of Jesus,
HIS SACRIFICE
Heb 9:23 It was therefore necessary
that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these;
but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ is not entered into the
holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true;
but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
25 Nor yet that he should offer himself
often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with
blood of others;
26 For then must he often have suffered
since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world
hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice
of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once
to die, but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once
offered to bear the sins of many; and unto
them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto
salvation.
Heb 10:11 And every priest standeth daily
ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never
take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered
one sacrifice
for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
GRACE - NOT OF WORKS
Ro 1:17 For therein is the righteousness
of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The
just shall live
by faith.
Ga 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Eph 2:8 For by
grace are ye
saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves: it is the
gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Mr 16:9 Now when Jesus was risen
early the first day of the week, he
appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
10 And she went and told them that
had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
11 And they, when they had heard that
he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
12 After that he appeared
in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
13 And they went and told it unto
the residue: neither believed they them.
14 Afterward he appeared
unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief
and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him
after he was risen.
Lu 24:1 Now upon the first day of
the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing
the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
2 And they found the stone rolled away
from the sepulchre.
3 And they entered in, and found not the
body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it came to pass, as they were much
perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down
their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living
among the dead?
6 He is not here, but is risen:
remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered
into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise
again.
8 And they remembered his words,
Joh 20:11 But Mary stood without at the
sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked
into the sepulchre,
12 And seeth two angels in white sitting,
the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus
had lain.
13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest
thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I
know not where they have laid him.
14 And when she had thus said, she turned
herself back, and saw Jesus standing,
and knew not that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest
thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto
him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him,
and I will take him away.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned
herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not;
for I am not yet ascended
to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my
Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Ac 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words;
Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders
and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also
know:
23 Him, being delivered by the determinate
counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have
crucified and slain:
24 Whom God hath raised
up, having loosed the pains of death: because
it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
Ac 2:29 Men and brethren, let me
freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and
buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing
that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins,
according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
31 He seeing this before spake of the
resurrection of Christ,
that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32 This Jesus hath God raised up,
whereof we all are witnesses.
Ac 3:13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac,
and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom
ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was
determined to let him go.
14 But ye denied the Holy One and the
Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
15 And killed the Prince of life, whom
God hath raised from the dead;
whereof we are witnesses.
Ac 3:25 Ye are the children of the prophets,
and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham,
And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26 Unto you first God, having raised
up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in
turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
Ac 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to
all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the
dead, even by him doth this man stand
here before you whole.
11 This is the stone which was set at
nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other:
for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must
be saved.
Ac 13:26 Men and brethren, children
of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is
the word of this salvation sent.
27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and
their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets
which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning
him.
28 And though they found no cause of death
in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
29 And when they had fulfilled all that
was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him
in a sepulchre.
30 But God raised
him from the dead:
1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare
unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received,
and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep
in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all
that which I also received, how that Christ died
for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was
buried, and that he
rose again
the third day according to the scriptures:
5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then
of the twelve:
6 After that, he
was seen of above five hundred brethren at once;
of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen
asleep.
7 After that, he was seen of James; then
of all the apostles.
8 And last of all he
was seen of me also, as of one born out of
due time.
JESUS CHRIST - HEAD OF THE BODY (HIS CHURCH)
Mt 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say
ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said,
Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him,
Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed
it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou
art Peter, and upon this rock
I will build my
church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it.
Ac 4:11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
1Co 12:12 For as the
body is one, and hath many members, and all
the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized
into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be
bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but
many.
15 If the foot shall say, Because I am
not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
16 And if the ear shall say, Because I
am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
17 If the whole body were an eye,
where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where
were the smelling?
18 But now hath God set the members every
one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
19 And if they were all one member, where
were the body?
20 But now are they many members,
yet but one body.
21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand,
I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need
of you.
22 Nay, much more those members of the
body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
23 And those members of the body,
which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant
honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
24 For our comely parts have no
need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant
honour to that part which lacked:
25 That there should be no schism in the
body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
26 And whether one member suffer, all
the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members
rejoice with it.
27 Now ye
are the body of Christ,
and members in particular.
Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you
in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon,
or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come;
but the body
is of Christ.
18 Let no man beguile you of your reward
in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those
things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 And not holding the
Head, from which all the body by joints and
bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with
the increase of God.
1Pe 2:5 Ye
also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual
house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual
sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the
scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner
stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth
on him shall not be confounded.
7 Unto you therefore which believe he
is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the
builders disallowed, the same is made the
head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock
of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient:
whereunto also they were appointed.
Eph 1:15 Wherefore I also, after I heard
of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making
mention of you in my prayers;
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation
in the knowledge of him:
18 The eyes of your understanding being
enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what
the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 And what is the exceeding greatness
of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty
power,
20 Which he wrought in Christ,
when he raised him from the dead, and set
him at his own right hand in the heavenly
places,
21 Far above
all principality,
and power, and
might, and dominion,
and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that
which is to come:
22 And hath put
all things under
his feet, and gave
him to be the head over
all things to the church,
23 Which
is his
body, the fulness
of him that filleth all in all.
Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto
your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the
wife, even as
Christ is the head
of the church:
and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as
the church is
subject unto Christ, so let the wives
be to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even
as Christ also
loved the church,
and gave himself
for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse
it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That he
might present it
to himself a
glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle,
or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28 So ought men to love their wives as
their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh;
but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as
the Lord the
church:
30 For we
are members of
his body,
of his flesh,
and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his
father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall
be one flesh.
32 This is
a great mystery: but I
speak concerning Christ
and the church.
1Th 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
1Th 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
1Th 3:12 And the Lord make you to increase
and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even
as we do toward you:
13 To the end he may stablish your hearts
unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at
the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ
with all his saints.
1Th 4:13 But I would not have you to be
ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not,
even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and
rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will
God bring with
him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word
of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the
coming of the
Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the
Lord himself shall
descend from heaven with a shout, with the
voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ
shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and
remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet
the Lord in
the air: and so shall we ever be with the
Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with
these words.
1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons,
brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the
day of the Lord
so cometh as
a thief in the night.
2Th 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest
with us, when
the Lord Jesus
shall be revealed from heaven
with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on
them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting
destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10 When
he shall
come to be glorified in his saints, and to
be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was
believed) in that day.
2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by
the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ, and by
our gathering
together unto
him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind,
or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us,
as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means:
for that day shall not come,
except there come a falling away first,
and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above
all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth
in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet
with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that
he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already
work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of
the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed,
whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy
with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after
the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness
in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that
they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them
strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed
not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2Th 3:5 And the Lord direct your hearts
into the love of God, and into the patient
waiting for Christ.
AUTHORITY OF GOD'S WORD
2Ti 3:15 And that from a child thou
hast known the holy scriptures,
which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is
in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture
is given by inspiration of God, and
is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction
in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect,
throughly furnished unto all good works.
2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
GOD'S ATTITUDE TOWARDS HIS WORD
Ps 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy
temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for
thou hast magnified
thy word above
all thy name.
Ps 12:6 The words
of the LORD are
pure words: as
silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt
keep them,
O LORD, thou
shalt preserve them
from this generation
for ever.
Ps 33:11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
Ps 100:5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Ps 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
Isa 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
Lu 21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible
seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of
God, which liveth
and abideth for ever.
24 For all flesh is as grass, and
all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the
flower thereof falleth away:
25 But the
word of the Lord
endureth for ever.
And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
Nu 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
