James 1:20
For man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that
God desires.
James 2:21
Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he
did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
James 2:23
And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed
God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God's
friend.
James 2:24
24 You see that a person is justified by what he does and not
by faith alone.
James 2:25
In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered
righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off
in a different direction?
James 3:18
Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of
righteousness.
1 Peter 1:23
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of
imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
1 Peter 1:24
For, “All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the
flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,
1 Peter 3:14
But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are
blessed. “Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened.”
No Strings Attached
“While we were still
sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
NIV
When we love with expectations, we say, “I love you. But I’ll
love you more if . . .”
Christ’s love had none of this. No strings, no expectations,
no hidden agendas, no secrets. His love for us was, and is, up front and clear.
“I love you,” he says. “Even if you let me down. I love you in spite of your
failures.”… - Max Lucado
