In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. — 1 John 4:10 (NKJV) And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. (1 John 4:14 NKJV) For God did not send the Son into the world to judge and condemn the world [that is, to initiate the final judgment of the world], but that the world might be saved through Him. (John 3:17 AMP) The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. (See John 10:10a) However, 1 John 3:8 (NKJV) says: The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. Yeshua came that we may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]. (See John 10:10b AMP) For everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God].

All this will flow from the kind and compassionate mercy of our God. A new day is dawning: the Sunrise from the heavens will break through in our darkness, and those who huddle in night, those who sit in the shadow of death, will be able to rise and walk in the light, guided in the pathway of peace. — Luke 1:78-79 (VOICE) Yeshua came as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Him should no longer abide in darkness. (See John 12:46) Rise and walk for the light of Yeshua illuminates the path that leads to peace and truth. He is the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. (See John 1:9) In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

(John 3:19 NKJV) The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, ...

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; — 1 Peter 4:12 (NASB1995) Second Timothy 3:12-13 (NASB1995) says: Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

(See 1 Timothy 3:17)  The apostle Paul received thirty-nine lashes from the Jews, five times. Three times he was beaten with rods, once he was stoned, three times he was shipwrecked. On frequent journeys, he was in dangers from rivers, robbers, from his own countrymen and from the Gentiles, in dangers in the city, in the wilderness, and on the sea, and in dangers among false brethren. (See 2 Corinthians 11:24-26) In spite of all these things, the apostle Paul reminds us that God is faithful to rescue us. ...

By faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were drowned. — Hebrews 11:29 (NASB1995) In rescuing His people from slavery, God led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. (See Exodus 13:18) What looked like defeat to them, God had already planned for victory. Whatever you may be going through today, just keep putting one foot in front of the other, making each step, a step of faith. In your darkest moments, know that Yahweh is with you and He is able to bring you through to the other side. For with Yahweh is the fountain of life and in His light we see light. (See Psalms 36:9) Stay on the path Yahweh has laid before you. On that path is His protection and His provision. “Even when your path takes me through the valley of deepest darkness, fear will never conquer me, for you already have! Your authority is my strength and my peace. The comfort of your love takes away my fear. I’ll nev...

For you have need of patient endurance [to bear up under difficult circumstances without compromising], so that when you have carried out the will of God, you may receive and enjoy to the full what is promised. For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay. (See Hebrews 10:35-37 NKJV/AMP) Instead of being like those who turn away from God to their own destruction, draw near to Him with a faithful and sincere heart. But as for me...

You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. — Psalms 32:7 (NASB1995) He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust!” (Psalm 91:1-2 NASB1995) Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious and merciful to me, for my soul finds shelter and safety in You, and in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge and be confidently secure until destruction passes by.
