John 3:16 demonstrates God’s unconditional Love for us,it says:
For God so LOVED the WORLD, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in HIM should not perish, but have Everlasting life.
+WORLD in this context are the unsaved and the lost people in the World.
+God LOVED the World before the World knew Him, and before the World received His Son.
+God demonstrated His Loving Kindness, Grace, Mercy, Long suffering, and much more toward us while we were yet sinners.
+Let us be like our Heavenly Father and continue to demonstrate His Love to ALL the unsaved people we know from home, to Church, to Work, and everywhere we go.
+And we do all for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
+For the Love of God leads the WORLD (Sinners) to the Savior.

  “ Let the Love of God Lead and Guide Your Heart . Matthew 6:21 tells us :
For where your Treasure is, there will your Heart be also.
+To paraphrase: where your treasure is there will your love (heart) is also.
+A Treasures are the people and things that are of Great Value to us.
Matthew 13:44
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto Treasure hid in a field…
+When we treasure the Kingdom of God, we give the Kingdom the greatest value possible.
+And we will have a Heart of Love and Commitment for the Kingdom and the Things of the Kingdom.
+The end result is we will give up everything for the Kingdom and the Things of the Kingdom.
+This demonstrates our total and complete Love and Faithfulness for God and His Kingdom. Hallelujah!

John 14:23 points out this truth to us:
…“If anyone loves Me, he will keep My Word…
+The word KEEP means: to attend carefully to the Word of God and to live by it.
+Love guides our hearts in Keeping, Obeying, and being Faithful to the Word of God.
+Remember, a misguided heart is always in jeopardy of danger.
+A heart that is guided by the Holy Spirit and the Love of God is a heart that lives in that good, acceptable, and perfect will of God.

Therefore, allow the Love of God to Lead and Guide Your Heart ,as 1 John 4:7-8 says :
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for loves is of God; and every one that love is born of God, and knows God.
8 He that loves not knows not God; for God is love.
+The Love of God is the HEALTH of God in our hearts.
+Our Hearts are supposed to be God Healthy.
+Our Hearts are also supposed to be God-Strong.
+The Love of God also brings the Peace of God in our hearts.
+For these purposes and many more our hearts are filled to the full and maximum capacity with God’s to lead us and guide us always and in every way. Amen!
Hallelujahs to Jesus!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

‭‭Jude‬ ‭1:24‭-‬25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

START BELIEVEING THAT YOU’RE HEAL.

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53:5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[5] But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, AND BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.

‭‭I Peter‬ ‭2:24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[24] who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—BY WHOSE STRIPES YOU WERE HEALED.

‭‭” Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.”(Matthew 12:22 NKJV).

THE QUESTION IS ?
Healing is real because the man is healed.
Or
The man got healed because healing is real. Even if the man is not healed, healing is still real.

GOD HEALS ALL THE TIME, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13:58‬ ‭AMPC‬‬
[58] And He did not do many works of power there, because of their unbelief (their lack of faith in the divine mission of Jesus).

Hebrews‬ ‭6:18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[18] that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

He is Jehovah Rapha which means God the healer and He heal all the time.

‭‭Daniel‬ ‭3:16‭-‬18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[16] Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. [17] If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. [18] But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.”

This is what we call Applied theology. The Facts in the natural are that they are about to die in the fire, and this can be changed. But the truth will not be changed because the Word of God is truth and supernatural. That is why they were not hurt in that fire. God says miracles, signs, and wonders shall follow them that “BELIEVE.”

‭‭James‬ ‭2:26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[26] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

‭‭James‬ ‭2:20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[20] But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭28:25‭-‬26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[25] He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife, But he who trusts in the Lord will be prospered.
[26] He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But whoever walks wisely will be delivered.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:5‭-‬8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[5] Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; [6] In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. [7] Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. [8] It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.

So the scripture above is telling us that we must trust God with all our heart and not trusting our own heart and lean not on our own understanding.

Brethren, master the Master, not the pastor, even all pastors need to master the Master, which is Jesus. All we needed to is to follow the example of Jesus Christ.
If that pastor or church haven’t seen or heard of miracles, signs and wonders happening in that pastor or church, do not follow him. All he can do is give you some theories and not truth. If a pastor say he don’t believe in speaking in tongue and you know that’s a lie. This is only an example. It could be many other examples. Just like the topic of God heals all the time.
Many people does not experience miracles, signs and wonders because that they believe in the natural facts and not the supernatural truth, 100% which is the entire Word of God.

‭‭”Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [Jude 1:24 -25 NKJV].

THE WORD OF GOD INFILTRATES, PENITRATES , AND OPERATES ON YOUR MIND, SOUL, AND SPIRIT. ” For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” ( Hebrews 4:12 KJV).

‭‭” He sends out His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly.” (Psalms 147:15 NKJV). That’s why, as Christians, we must be careful how we use His word. Because power of life and death is in the tongue, proverbs 18:21 tells us. I

‭‭” And He has made My mouth like a sharp sword; In the shadow of His hand He has hidden Me, And made Me a polished shaft; In His quiver He has hidden Me.” (Isaiah 49:2 NKJV).

A person who is not living by every Word of God is unfaithful ,unfruitful, and unstable, and James 1:8 says they are unstable in all their ways.

Faith in the Word of God will move mountains. James 1:22 says :
“But be you doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”
Romans 2:13 puts it this way:
“For not the hearers of the law (Word) are just before God, but the doers of the law (Word) shall be justified.”

‭‭II Thessalonians‬ ‭3:1‭-‬5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[1] Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, [2] and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith. [3] But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. [4] And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, both that you do and will do the things we command you. [5] Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

+Remember Jesus said in Matthew 4:4, we must live by every Word of God.
+We must be actively involved in the Word.
+When we get actively involved in the Word, the Word will become actively involved in us.
+When we are actively involved in the Word, it is also the demonstration of our FAITH in the Word.
+The demonstration of our FAITH in the Word causes the Holy Spirit to release the Supernatural Power of God to Manifest and fulfill what the Word is intended to do.
+Praise the Lord and hallelujah!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust, and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

‭‭”Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [ Jude 1:24-25 NKJV]

‭‭”And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to PROVE you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.”(Exodus20:20 KJV).

‭‭”All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to PROVE thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
[11] Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: “( Deuteronomy 8:1-3,11 KJV).

IN THESE LAST DAYS, THERE ARE MANY FALSE PROPHETS ,AND GOD HAS WARNED US : ‭‭ ” thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God PROVETH you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.”( Deuteronomy 13:3 KJV).

‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭2:15‭-‬16‬ ‭KJV‬‬
[15] Study to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. [16] But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

God wants us to PROVE HIM.
PROVE means to put to the test, and find out for yourself.
Malachi 3:10
God said regarding tithing, “PROVE me now” if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Romans 12:2
…that you may PROVE what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
1 Thess 5:21
PROVE all things; hold fast that which is good.
+To PROVE God also means to Hear the Word, to Believe the Word, to Receive the Word, to Speak, and to Act upon the Word, and must be done in Faith.
+God is Faithful. He will always confirm and fulfill His Word Signs following.
Amen! And Hallelujah!

‭‭Jude‬ ‭1:24‭-‬25‬ ‭KJV‬‬
[24] Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, [25] to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ tells us :
” But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. “

Spending Time With God in the morning should be your number one priority. He didn’t have to wake you up,but He did. He didn’t have to lend you the breath that you take,but He did.

“In the morning, long before sunrise, Jesus went to a place where He could be alone to pray.” (Mark 1:35)

‭‭” He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him, all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.” (Colossians 1:15-18 NKJV).

Here’s a question for you, How do you begin your day? What are you meditating on,or thinking about? Wouldn’t God be glorified, and satan horrified , if we start our day like this :‭‭ ” Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” (Psalms 103:1-5 NKJV).

‭‭” But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” ( 1 Corinthians 15:57 NKJV). To wake up in the morning is a victory over death and the grave because of Jesus. You better be thankful that you are on the wake-up list. Many people missed that privilege.

Your relationship with God should be your number one priority in the mornings. Because you value Him over everyone and everything. However, how can you value someone or something that you don’t appreciate 🤔. IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD VALUABLE?

Some people start their mornings, with social media, or the news . How about spending time with God, reading daily devotions, studying His Word, and praying. Of course, this can take place any time of the day or night, but first thing in the morning is ideal for one-on-one time with God. Maybe that’s why Jesus chose mornings, “rising up a great while before day” to spend time with His Father , and get directions and instructions.

‭‭Seeking God first will help you to,” Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” ( Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV).

Because, as our day progresses, it’s easy to become so immersed in events and activities that time slips away before we realize it’s gone. The next thing we know, we’re lying down at night, feeling sleepy, and suddenly we realize that we went through an entire day without spending time with God. Then we feel guilty ,and try to so say a quick prayer and vow to do better tomorrow … but will or do we?

If you don’t already have time with God scheduled into your regular morning routine, now is a great time to make Him your highest priority . By doing so, you will be starting your day off right and will be better equipped than ever to tackle everything that the day holds for you.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭8:17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[17] I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me.

‭‭” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [Jude 1:24-25 NKJV]

Are you blessed by the world’s standards or God’s promises. The world’s standards of blessed comes with sorrows and a one-way ticket to hell.

To be Godly blessed is to be abundantly and unlimitedly supplied with the Inexhaustible Riches of God in Christ Jesus, from earth to heaven. When God blesses a person ,their whole body, soul, and spirit are blessed,and no sorrows accompany it.

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭8:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬
[18] But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭10:22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ tells us, ” The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.”

You can have all the world’s possessions and still not be blessed. Many have the world’s goods and are miserable, unhappy, sick,and frustrated, which proves that money can’t buy happiness or health ,nor a ticket into eternity .

Wouldn’t you rather be blessed by a God who loves you. In ‭‭3 John‬ ‭1:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬,He says : “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”

‭‭”Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3).

Then ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ reminds us that:
” ….. God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

” Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” (2 Peter 1:2-4 NKJV).

‭‭” For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.” (Mark 8:36-38 NKJV).

‭‭” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen. [ Jude 1: 24-25].

Authentic born again Christians must believe, function, and operate in obedience to every word of God in order to manifest our God-given power and authority.

Authority: your God given right to do all that God said you can do.
Power: your God given Ability, Might and Power to get done what God said you can do.

+A Police Officer stops an eighteen wheeler by just holding up his hand. That’s Authority.

Superman stops the same eighteen wheeler by getting in front of it and pushing it back. That’s Power.

‭‭” And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; [18] they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” (Mark 16:17-18 NKJV).

‭‭ “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.” (‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭8:18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬).

‭‭John‬ ‭1:12‭-‬13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[12] But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: [13] who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

‭‭” But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8 NKJV).

‭‭”Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.” (Luke 10:19 AMPC).

‭‭Jude‬ ‭1:24‭-‬25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

Never murmur and complain to God or against God. Remember also that God doesn’t answer murmurs and complaints.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭106:21‭-‬26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[21] They forgot God their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt, [22] Wondrous works in the land of Ham, Awesome things by the Red Sea. [23] Therefore He said that He would destroy them, Had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach, To turn away His wrath, lest He destroy them. [24] Then they despised the pleasant land; They did not believe His word, [25] But complained in their tents, And did not heed the voice of the Lord. [26] Therefore He raised His hand in an oath against them, To overthrow them in the wilderness,

” Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain. ” (Philippians 2:14-16 NKJV).

‭‭” Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell; nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; NOR COMPLAIN, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer. Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. Therefore, let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” (1 Corinthians 10 :6-13 NKJV).

-God answers PRAYERS that are prayed in FAITH, and PRAYERS that are based on His WORD.
As Mark 12:24 says:
“Therefore, I say unto you, what things whatsoever all of you desire, when all of you pray, believe that all of you receive them, and all of you shall have them.”
Then 1 John 5:14-15 puts it this way:
“And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us,And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”
– Pray the problem, don’t murmur, and complain about the problem.

‭‭”Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to Jesus be all the glory. Amen!

In God’s salvation package, that we received through Jesus Christ, are all the promises of God, and healing is in the salvation package. Therefore, as believers, we should not look for treatment but complete healing for all sicknesses and diseases. If we live by every Word of God, it is impossible for us to die by it,but if we stand on His Word and promises, we will see miracles, signs,and wonders manifesting.

‭‭” Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” ( 2 Peter 1:2-4 ).

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭8:16‭-‬17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ says:
[16] When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, [17] that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND BORE OUR SICKNESSES.”

‭‭”But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, AND BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.” (Isaiah 53:5 NKJV)).

‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭15:1‭-‬2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[1] Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, [2] by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

‭‭I Peter‬ ‭2:21‭-‬24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[21] For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: [22] “Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth”; [23] who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; [24] who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—BY WHOSE STRIPES YOU WERE HEALED. Accept your healing. It’s a privilege and promise through Christ Jesus.

‭‭Jude‬ ‭1:24‭-‬25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:17‭-‬22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[17] And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. [18] For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. [19] Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, [20] having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, [21] in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, [22] in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

‭‭I Peter‬ ‭2:1‭-‬15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[1] Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, [2] as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, [3] if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious. [4] Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, [5] you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. [6] Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.” [7] Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,” [8] and “A stone of stumbling And a rock of offense.” They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed. [9] But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; [10] who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. [11] Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, [12] having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation. [13] Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, [14] or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. [15] For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men—

‭‭Jude‬ ‭1:24‭-‬25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.
