Christ Is Enough

[Philippians 3:5] circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee; [Philippians 3:6] concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless. [Philippians 3:7] However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ. [Philippians 3:8] Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ [Philippians 3:9] and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith, [Philippians 3:10] that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,

[Psalms 73:23] Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand. [Psalms 73:24] You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. [Psalms 73:25] Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you. [Psalms 73:26] My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. [Psalms 73:27] For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you. [Psalms 73:28] But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.

[John 6:33] For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.” [John 6:34] They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.” [John 6:35] Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. [John 6:36] But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don’t believe. [John 6:37] All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.

[James 1:1] James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings. [James 1:2] Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, [James 1:3] knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. [James 1:4] Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. [James 1:5] But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. [James 1:6] But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

[Acts 16:23] When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely. [Acts 16:24] Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks. [Acts 16:25] But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. [Acts 16:26] Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened. [Acts 16:27] The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. [Acts 16:28] But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”

[Colossians 3:9] Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, [Colossians 3:10] and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator, [Colossians 3:11] where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Christ is all, and in all. [Colossians 3:12] Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance; [Colossians 3:13] bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.

[Mark 4:35] On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.” [Mark 4:36] Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him. [Mark 4:37] A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled. [Mark 4:38] He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and asked him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are dying?” [Mark 4:39] He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm. [Mark 4:40] He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?” [Mark 4:41] They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”

[Psalms 46:1] For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. [Psalms 46:2] Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas; [Psalms 46:3] though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. Selah. [Psalms 46:4] There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High. [Psalms 46:5] God is within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.

[John 6:64] But there are some of you who don’t believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn’t believe, and who it was who would betray him. [John 6:65] He said, “For this cause I have said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father.” [John 6:66] At this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him. [John 6:67] Jesus said therefore to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, do you?” [John 6:68] Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. [John 6:69] We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” [John 6:70] Jesus answered them, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?” [John 6:71] Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.

[Luke 14:24] For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few are chosen.’” [Luke 14:25] Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them, [Luke 14:26] “If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple. [Luke 14:27] Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t be my disciple. [Luke 14:28] For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it? [Luke 14:29] Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,

[Colossians 2:7] rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving. [Colossians 2:8] Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elemental spirits of the world, and not after Christ. [Colossians 2:9] For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily, [Colossians 2:10] and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power. [Colossians 2:11] In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ, [Colossians 2:12] having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

[2 Peter 1:1] Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: [2 Peter 1:2] Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, [2 Peter 1:3] seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue, [2 Peter 1:4] by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust. [2 Peter 1:5] Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;

[Romans 8:30] Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified. [Romans 8:31] What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? [Romans 8:32] He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things? [Romans 8:33] Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies. [Romans 8:34] Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
