JESUS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH

JESUS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH 

Hebrews 12:2 

Looking Unto Jesus The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith; Who For The Joy That Was Set Before Him Endured The Cross, Despising The Shame, And Is Set Down At The Right Hand Of The Throne Of God.

Colossians 2:9-10 

For In Him Dwelleth All The Fulness Of The Godhead Bodily.

And Ye Are Complete In Him, Which Is The Head Of All Principality And Power:

John 3:3-6 

Jesus Answered And Said Unto Him, Verily, Verily, I Say Unto Thee, Except A Man Be Born Again, He Cannot See The Kingdom Of God. Nicodemus Saith Unto Him, How Can A Man Be Born When He Is Old? Can He Enter The Second Time Into His Mother's Womb, And Be Born? 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. That Which Is Born Of The Flesh Is Flesh; And That Which Is Born Of The Spirit Is Spirit.

2 Corinthians 1:19-22 

For The Son Of God, Jesus Christ, Who Was Preached Among You By Us, Even By Me And Silvanus And Timotheus, Was Not Yea And Nay, But In Him Was Yea. For All The Promises Of God In Him Are Yea, And In Him Amen, Unto The Glory Of God By Us. Now He Which Stablisheth Us With You In Christ, And Hath Anointed Us, Is God; Who Hath Also Sealed Us, And Given The Earnest Of The Spirit In Our Hearts.

Ephesians 1:3-14 

Blessed Be The God And Father Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who Hath Blessed Us With All Spiritual Blessings In Heavenly Places In Christ: According As He Hath Chosen Us In Him Before The Foundation Of The World, That We Should Be Holy And Without Blame Before Him In Love: Having Predestinated Us Unto The Adoption Of Children By Jesus Christ To Himself, According To The Good Pleasure Of His Will, To The Praise Of The Glory Of His Grace, Wherein He Hath Made Us Accepted In The Beloved. In Whom We Have Redemption Through His Blood, The Forgiveness Of Sins, According To The Riches Of His Grace; Wherein He Hath Abounded Toward Us In All Wisdom And Prudence; Having Made Known Unto Us The Mystery Of His Will, According To His Good Pleasure Which He Hath Purposed In Himself: That In The Dispensation Of The Fulness Of Times He Might Gather Together In One All Things In Christ, Both Which Are In Heaven, And Which Are On Earth; Even In Him: In Whom Also We Have Obtained An Inheritance, Being Predestinated According To The Purpose Of Him Who Worketh All Things After The Counsel Of His Own Will: That We Should Be To The Praise Of His Glory, Who First Trusted In Christ. In Whom Ye Also Trusted, After That Ye Heard The Word Of Truth, The Gospel Of Your Salvation: In Whom Also After That Ye Believed, Ye Were Sealed With That Holy Spirit Of Promise, Which Is The Earnest Of Our Inheritance Until The Redemption Of The Purchased Possession, Unto The Praise Of His Glory.

Ephesians 4:21-22,24,30 

If So Be That Ye Have Heard Him, And Have Been Taught By Him, As The Truth Is In Jesus: That Ye Put Off Concerning The Former Conversation The Old Man, Which Is Corrupt According To The Deceitful Lusts; 

[24] And That Ye Put On The New Man, Which After God Is Created In Righteousness And True Holiness. 

[30] And Grieve Not The Holy Spirit Of God, Whereby Ye Are Sealed Unto The Day Of Redemption.

Galatians 5:24 

And They That Are Christ's Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts.

Romans 8:23-39 

And Not Only They, But Ourselves Also, Which Have The Firstfruits Of The Spirit, Even We Ourselves Groan Within Ourselves, Waiting For The Adoption, To Wit, The Redemption Of Our Body. For We Are Saved By Hope: But Hope That Is Seen Is Not Hope: For What A Man Seeth, Why Doth He Yet Hope For? But If We Hope For That We See Not, Then Do We With Patience Wait For It. Likewise The Spirit Also Helpeth Our Infirmities: For We Know Not What We Should Pray For As We Ought: But The Spirit Itself Maketh Intercession For Us With Groanings Which Cannot Be Uttered. And He That Searcheth The Hearts Knoweth What Is The Mind Of The Spirit, Because He Maketh Intercession For The Saints According To The Will Of God. And We Know That All Things Work Together For Good To Them That Love God, To Them Who Are The Called According To His Purpose. For Whom He Did Foreknow, He Also Did Predestinate To Be Conformed To The Image Of His Son, That He Might Be The Firstborn Among Many Brethren. Moreover Whom He Did Predestinate, Them He Also Called: And Whom He Called, Them He Also Justified: And Whom He Justified, Them He Also Glorified. What Shall We Then Say To These Things? If God Be For Us, Who Can Be Against Us? He That Spared Not His Own Son, But Delivered Him Up For Us All, How Shall He Not With Him Also Freely Give Us All Things? Who Shall Lay Any Thing To The Charge Of God's Elect? It Is God That Justifieth. Who Is He That Condemneth? It Is Christ That Died, Yea Rather, That Is Risen Again, Who Is Even At The Right Hand Of God, Who Also Maketh Intercession For Us. Who Shall Separate Us From The Love Of Christ? Shall Tribulation, Or Distress, Or Persecution, Or Famine, Or Nakedness, Or Peril, Or Sword? As It Is Written, For Thy Sake We Are Killed All The Day Long; We Are Accounted As Sheep For The Slaughter. Nay, In All These Things We Are More Than Conquerors Through Him That Loved Us. For I Am Persuaded, That Neither Death, Nor Life, Nor Angels, Nor Principalities, Nor Powers, Nor Things Present, Nor Things To Come, Nor Height, Nor Depth, Nor Any Other Creature, Shall Be Able To Separate Us From The Love Of God, Which Is In Christ Jesus Our Lord.

1 John 3:1-10 

Behold, What Manner Of Love The Father Hath Bestowed Upon Us, That We Should Be Called The Sons Of God: Therefore The World Knoweth Us Not, Because It Knew Him Not. Beloved, Now Are We The Sons Of God, And It Doth Not Yet Appear What We Shall Be: But We Know That, When He Shall Appear, We Shall Be Like Him; For We Shall See Him As He Is. And Every Man That Hath This Hope In Him Purifieth Himself, Even As He Is Pure. Whosoever Committeth Sin Transgresseth Also The Law: For Sin Is The Transgression Of The Law. And Ye Know That He Was Manifested To Take Away Our Sins; And In Him Is No Sin. Whosoever Abideth In Him Sinneth Not: Whosoever Sinneth Hath Not Seen Him, Neither Known Him. Little Children, Let No Man Deceive You: He That Doeth Righteousness Is Righteous, Even As He Is Righteous. He That Committeth Sin Is Of The Devil; For The Devil Sinneth From The Beginning. For This Purpose The Son Of God Was Manifested, That He Might Destroy The Works Of The Devil. Whosoever Is Born Of God Doth Not Commit Sin; For His Seed Remaineth In Him: And He Cannot Sin, Because He Is Born Of God. In This The Children Of God Are Manifest, And The Children Of The Devil: Whosoever Doeth Not Righteousness Is Not Of God, Neither He That Loveth Not His Brother.

2 Corinthians 5:15-21 

And That He Died For All, That They Which Live Should Not Henceforth Live Unto Themselves, But Unto Him Which Died For Them, And Rose Again. Wherefore Henceforth Know We No Man After The Flesh: Yea, Though We Have Known Christ After The Flesh, Yet Now Henceforth Know We Him No More. Therefore If Any Man Be In Christ, He Is A New Creature: Old Things Are Passed Away; Behold, All Things Are Become New. And All Things Are Of God, Who Hath Reconciled Us To Himself By Jesus Christ, And Hath Given To Us The Ministry Of Reconciliation; To Wit, That God Was In Christ, Reconciling The World Unto Himself, Not Imputing Their Trespasses Unto Them; And Hath Committed Unto Us The Word Of Reconciliation. Now Then We Are Ambassadors For Christ, As Though God Did Beseech You By Us: We Pray You In Christ's Stead, Be Ye Reconciled To God. For He Hath Made Him To Be Sin For Us, Who Knew No Sin; That We Might Be Made The Righteousness Of God In Him.

Galatians 5:25 

IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT.
