Psalms 39:1-7
1 I said, “I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I
will put a muzzle on my mouth as long as the wicked are in my presence.”
2 But when I was silent and still, not even saying anything
good, my anguish increased.
3 My heart grew hot within me, and as I meditated, the fire
burned; then I spoke with my tongue:
4 “Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let
me know how fleeting is my life.
5 You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years
is as nothing before you. Each man's life is but a breath.
6 Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro: He bustles
about, but only in vain; he heaps up wealth, not knowing who will get it.
7 “But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.
Proverbs
11:30-31
30 The fruit
of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.
31 If the
righteous receive their due on earth, how much more the ungodly and the sinner!
Matthew
7:13-14
13 “Enter
through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads
to destruction, and many enter through it.
14 But small
is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.
John 3:16
“For God so
loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him
shall not perish but have eternal life.
Revelation
3:5-9
5 He who
overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name
from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his
angels.
6 He who has
an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
7 “To the
angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is
holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and
what he shuts no one can open.
8 I know
your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I
know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not
denied my name.
9 I will
make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they
are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and
acknowledge that I have loved you.
