Salvation

"Then God said, 'Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky...'"

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."

"For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ."

"He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time."

"But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship."

"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin."

"He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed."

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

"He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification."

"Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them."

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."

"If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

"Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins."

"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."

"Continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose."

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

"For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand."

"Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."

"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?"

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"

"And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship."

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."
