Christ’s work in lives delivered from sin

Mark 3:11 

Whenever the evil spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.”

Matthew 16:18 

And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

John 1:33 

I would not have known him, except that the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is he who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’

John 7:37-39 

37 On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. 

38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” 

39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.

Acts 1:4-8 

4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 

5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

6 So when they met together, they asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”

7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 

8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Ephesians 1:22 

And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church,

Ephesians 4:11 

It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,

Hebrews 2:14-18 

14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 

15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. 

16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants. 

17 For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. 

18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Hebrews 4:14-16 

14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 

15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. 

16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
