This Is Amazing Grace

[Colossians 1:11] strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy, [Colossians 1:12] giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light, [Colossians 1:13] who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love, [Colossians 1:14] in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins. [Colossians 1:15] He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. [Colossians 1:16] For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.

[Romans 6:4] We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. [Romans 6:5] For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection; [Romans 6:6] knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin. [Romans 6:7] For he who has died has been freed from sin. [Romans 6:8] But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him, [Romans 6:9] knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him! [Romans 6:10] For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God. [Romans 6:11] Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. [Romans 6:12] Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. [Romans 6:13] Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. [Romans 6:14] For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace. [Romans 6:15] What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! [Romans 6:16] Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

[Acts 26:15] “I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. [Acts 26:16] But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will reveal to you; [Acts 26:17] delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you, [Acts 26:18] to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’ [Acts 26:19] “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, [Acts 26:20] but declared first to them of Damascus, at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

[Romans 8:36] Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” [Romans 8:37] No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. [Romans 8:38] For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, [Romans 8:39] nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

[Ephesians 3:15] from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, [Ephesians 3:16] that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person, [Ephesians 3:17] that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love, [Ephesians 3:18] may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, [Ephesians 3:19] and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. [Ephesians 3:20] Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, [Ephesians 3:21] to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

[Psalms 24:5] He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, righteousness from the God of his salvation. [Psalms 24:6] This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face—even Jacob. Selah. [Psalms 24:7] Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in. [Psalms 24:8] Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. [Psalms 24:9] Lift up your heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in. [Psalms 24:10] Who is this King of glory? The LORD of Armies is the King of glory! Selah.

[Psalms 29:1] A Psalm by David. Ascribe to the LORD, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. [Psalms 29:2] Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Worship the LORD in holy array. [Psalms 29:3] The LORD’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even the LORD on many waters. [Psalms 29:4] The LORD’s voice is powerful. The LORD’s voice is full of majesty. [Psalms 29:5] The LORD’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. [Psalms 29:6] He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox. [Psalms 29:7] The LORD’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning. [Psalms 29:8] The LORD’s voice shakes the wilderness. The LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. [Psalms 29:9] The LORD’s voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, “Glory!” [Psalms 29:10] The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, the LORD sits as King forever. [Psalms 29:11] The LORD will give strength to his people. The LORD will bless his people with peace.

[Revelation 19:9] He said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb.’” He said to me, “These are true words of God.” [Revelation 19:10] I fell down before his feet to worship him. He said to me, “Look! Don’t do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.” [Revelation 19:11] I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war. [Revelation 19:12] His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has names written and a name written which no one knows but he himself. [Revelation 19:13] He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called “The Word of God.” [Revelation 19:14] The armies which are in heaven, clothed in white, pure, fine linen, followed him on white horses. [Revelation 19:15] Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty. [Revelation 19:16] He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” [Revelation 19:17] I saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the sky, “Come! Be gathered together to the great supper of God, [Revelation 19:18] that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, small and great.”

[Ephesians 1:2] Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. [Ephesians 1:3] 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 1:4] even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love, [Ephesians 1:5] having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire, [Ephesians 1:6] to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved. [Ephesians 1:7] In him we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace

[John 1:10] He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him. [John 1:11] He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him. [John 1:12] But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name: [John 1:13] who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. [John 1:14] The Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. [John 1:15] John testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’”

[Revelation 19:9] He said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb.’” He said to me, “These are true words of God.” [Revelation 19:10] I fell down before his feet to worship him. He said to me, “Look! Don’t do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.” [Revelation 19:11] I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war. [Revelation 19:12] His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has names written and a name written which no one knows but he himself. [Revelation 19:13] He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called “The Word of God.” [Revelation 19:14] The armies which are in heaven, clothed in white, pure, fine linen, followed him on white horses. [Revelation 19:15] Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty. [Revelation 19:16] He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” [Revelation 19:17] I saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the sky, “Come! Be gathered together to the great supper of God, [Revelation 19:18] that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, small and great.”

[Psalms 96:8] Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts. [Psalms 96:9] Worship the LORD in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth. [Psalms 96:10] Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns.” The world is also established. It can’t be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity. [Psalms 96:11] Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness! [Psalms 96:12] Let the field and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy [Psalms 96:13] before the LORD; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.

[Revelation 1:10] I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet [Revelation 1:11] saying, “What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.” [Revelation 1:12] I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands. [Revelation 1:13] And among the lamp stands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest. [Revelation 1:14] His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire. [Revelation 1:15] His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters. [Revelation 1:16] He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest. [Revelation 1:17] When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I am the first and the last, [Revelation 1:18] and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

[Matthew 17:1] After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves. [Matthew 17:2] He was changed before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light. [Matthew 17:3] Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him. [Matthew 17:4] Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let’s make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” [Matthew 17:5] While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.” [Matthew 17:6] When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid. [Matthew 17:7] Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.”

[Revelation 5:4] Then I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look in it. [Revelation 5:5] One of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome: he who opens the book and its seven seals.” [Revelation 5:6] I saw in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. [Revelation 5:7] Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne. [Revelation 5:8] Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. [Revelation 5:9] They sang a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals, for you were killed, and bought us for God with your blood out of every tribe, language, people, and nation, [Revelation 5:10] and made us kings and priests to our God; and we will reign on the earth.” [Revelation 5:11] I looked, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. The number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands, [Revelation 5:12] saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!” [Revelation 5:13] I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen!” [Revelation 5:14] The four living creatures said, “Amen!” Then the elders fell down and worshiped.

[Revelation 1:15] His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters. [Revelation 1:16] He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest. [Revelation 1:17] When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I am the first and the last, [Revelation 1:18] and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades. [Revelation 1:19] Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter. [Revelation 1:20] The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lamp stands are seven assemblies.

[1 Corinthians 15:52] in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed. [1 Corinthians 15:53] For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. [1 Corinthians 15:54] But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” [1 Corinthians 15:55] “Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?” [1 Corinthians 15:56] The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. [1 Corinthians 15:57] But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. [1 Corinthians 15:58] Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

[Romans 3:21] But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets; [Romans 3:22] even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction, [Romans 3:23] for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; [Romans 3:24] being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, [Romans 3:25] whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance; [Romans 3:26] to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, that he might himself be just and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus. [Romans 3:27] Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. [Romans 3:28] We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

[1 Peter 2:22] who didn’t sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.” [1 Peter 2:23] When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously. [1 Peter 2:24] He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds. [1 Peter 2:25] For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

[Galatians 2:18] For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker. [Galatians 2:19] For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God. [Galatians 2:20] I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me. [Galatians 2:21] I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”

[Psalms 34:6] This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. [Psalms 34:7] The LORD’s angel encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. [Psalms 34:8] Oh taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. [Psalms 34:9] Oh fear the LORD, you his saints, for there is no lack with those who fear him. [Psalms 34:10] The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing. [Psalms 34:11] Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the LORD. [Psalms 34:12] Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
