What Stood Out |
Micah 7:13 (2024) – Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them
that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings. [cf. Rom.
6:20-23 – For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free
from righteousness. What fruit
had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the
end of those things is death. But now being made free
from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit
unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin
is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Acts 16:31 – And they said, Believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Rom. 10:8-11 – But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even
in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we
preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the
dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth
unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him
shall not be ashamed. James 2:18-26 – Yea, a man may say, Thou
hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I
will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there
is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac
his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and
by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which
saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for
righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then
how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Likewise
also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received
the messengers, and had sent them out another way? For as
the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead
also. Gen. 22:1-13 – And it came to pass after these
things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he
said, Behold, here I am. And he said, Take now thy son,
thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the
land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the
mountains which I will tell thee of. And Abraham rose up early in the
morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him,
and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose
up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. Then on the third
day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. And Abraham
said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad
will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. And Abraham took the
wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and
he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them
together. And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father:
and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and
the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? And
Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt
offering: so they went both of them together. And they came to the place
which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid
the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar
upon the wood. And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife
to slay his son. And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of
heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am
I. And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any
thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou
hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. And
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a
ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram,
and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
Luke 23:39-43 – And one of the malefactors which were hanged
railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. But the
other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou
art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the
due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said
unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And
Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with
me in paradise.] Back to Previous Page (Or to go back to where you left off you can use the "Back" button of your browser)
