Ephesians 1:23

Ephesians 1:23 (MSG)
The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ's body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence.

Romans 3:27

Romans 3:27 (MSG)
So where does that leave our proud Jewish insider claims and counter-claims? Canceled? Yes, canceled. What we've learned is this: God does not respond to what we do; we respond to what God does. We've finally figured it out. Our lives get in step with God and all others by letting him set the pace, not by proudly or anxiously trying to run the parade.

Titus 2:13

Titus 2:13 (CEV)
We are filled with hope, as we wait for the glorious return of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 12:2

Hebrews 12:2 (CEV)
We must keep our eyes on Jesus, who leads us and makes our faith complete. He endured the shame of being nailed to a cross, because he knew later on he would be glad he did. Now he is seated at the right side of God's throne!
