John 16:33
Finding Peace in a Troubled World
33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
Matthew 7:24-29
Building a Strong Foundation in Life
24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
Matthew 5:48
Be Perfect as Our Heavenly Father is Perfect
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
1 John 4:8
God is LOVE
8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
1 John 4:18
Perfect LOVE Drives Out Fear
18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
John 14:27
