Scripture References
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. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn
the world, but to save the world through him.
John 3:16-17
Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes
in me will never be thirsty. But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. All that the Father gives
me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will
but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me that I shall lose none of all that he has given
me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him
shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."
John 6: 35-40
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through
me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
John
14: 6-7
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him
from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your
mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
Romans
10: 9-11
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this
way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God
was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message
of reconciliation.
We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We
implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we
might become the righteousness of God.
2 Corinthians 5: 16-21
