I Believe

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways.

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.

And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

As it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.
