But Christ came as a chief priest of the good things that are now here.  Christ went through a better, more perfect tent that was not made by human hands and that is not part of this created world. ¹² He used his own blood, not the blood of goats and bulls, for the sacrifice.  He went into the most holy place and offered this sacrifice once and for all to free us forever.

(Hebrews 9:11-12 -- GW)

Trust the Lord with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own understanding.
⁶     In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths smooth.
(Proverbs 3:5-6 -- GW)

He wants all people to be saved and to learn the truth. ⁵ There is one God.  There is also one mediator between God and humans—a human, Christ Jesus. ⁶ He sacrificed himself for all people to free them from their sins.  This message is valid for every era.

(1 Timothy 2:4-6 -- GW)

The God who made the universe and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth.
(Acts 17:24a -- GW)

Honor the Lord with your wealth,
    with the firstfruits of all your crops;
¹⁰ then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
    and your vats will brim over with new wine.

¹¹ My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline,
    and do not resent his rebuke,
¹² because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
    as a father the son he delights in.

 

(Proverbs 3:9-12 -- NIV)

 

 

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, . . .

(Psalm 33:12a -- NIV)

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me."
