Romans 5:1-2
King James Version
5 Therefore being justified by faith,
we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith
into this grace wherein we stand,
and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Have you strength for your journey?
Have you endurance for the climb?
Have you clarity for every day choices?
The WORD of GOD will give you all that.
Find hope, faith, and love from these verses.
John 16:33
King James Version
33 These things I have spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world.
Romans 5:3-5
King James Version
3 And not only so,
but we glory in tribulations also:
knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 And patience,
experience;
and experience,
hope:
5 And hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts
by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans 5:6-11
King James Version
6 For when we were yet without strength,
in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die:
yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us,
in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us.
9 Much more then,
being now justified by his blood,
we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if,
when we were enemies,
we were reconciled to God
by the death of his Son,
much more,
being reconciled,
we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only so,
but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom we have now received the atonement.
Romans 12:12
King James Version
12 Rejoicing in hope;
patient in tribulation;
continuing instant in prayer;
Colossians 1:5-6
King James Version
5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven,
whereof ye heard before
in the word of the truth of the gospel;
6 Which is come unto you,
as it is in all the world;
and bringeth forth fruit,
as it doth also in you,
since the day ye heard of it,
and knew the grace of God in truth:
Colossians 1:9-14
King James Version
9 For this cause we also,
since the day we heard it,
do not cease to pray for you,
and to desire that ye might be filled
with the knowledge of his will
in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord
unto all pleasing,
being fruitful in every good work,
and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened with all might,
according to his glorious power,
unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks unto the Father,
which hath made us meet
to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,
and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood,
even the forgiveness of sins:
James 1:2-4
King James Version
2 My brethren,
count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this,
that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work,
that ye may be perfect and entire,
wanting nothing.
James 1:5
King James Version
5 If any of you lack wisdom,
let him ask of God,
that giveth to all men liberally,
and upbraideth not;
and it shall be given him.
James 1:6-8
King James Version
6 But let him ask in faith,
nothing wavering.
For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea
driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think
that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
James 1:12
King James Version
12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation:
for when he is tried,
he shall receive the crown of life,
which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
James 1:13
King James Version
13 Let no man say when he is tempted,
I am tempted of God:
for God cannot be tempted with evil,
neither tempteth he any man:
James 1:14-16
King James Version
14 But every man is tempted,
when he is drawn away of his own lust,
and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived,
it bringeth forth sin:
and sin,
when it is finished,
bringeth forth death.
16 Do not err,
my beloved brethren.
We're all in this climb together.
Luke 9:23
King James Version
23 And he said to them all,
If any man will come after me,
let him deny himself,
and take up his cross daily,
and follow me.
Let us all help each other.
Galatians 6:2
King James Version
2 Bear ye one another's burdens,
and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Let us all love one another.
John 13:34
King James Version
34 A new commandment I give unto you,
That ye love one another;
as I have loved you,
that ye also love one another.
Let us take the initiative that we don't put more stumbling blocks for each other.
Romans 14:13
King James Version
13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more:
but judge this rather,
that no man put a stumblingblock
or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
The journey is hard enough.
Only through JESUS, and through SPIRIT, can we make it.
And understand what the climb is all about
John 3:5-7
King James Version
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
