" Whom God set forth as a propitation by His blood,
through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness,
because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins
that were previously committed, to demostrate at the
present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the just and the justifer of the one who has faith in Jesus."~Romans3:25-26~

that we may also be glorified together."~Romans8:17~
5. Because of Jesus, I always have someone interceding for me.
"Who is he who condemns?
It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen,

6. Because of Jesus, I have eternal life with Him.
"If Christ is in you, the body is dead because
of sin, but the Spirit is life because of
righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in

dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who
dwells in you."~Romans 8:10-11~

and to kill, and to destroy. I have
come that they may have life,
and that they may have it more abundantly."
~John 10:10~
Give me a spirit of praise, dear Lord,
That I may adore Your name,
Sing praise from the depths of a grateful heart
To the One who is always the same. —Dawe
You can never praise God too much. Worship, praise, and adoration,
All are due to Jesus' name;
Freely give your heart's devotion,
Constantly His love proclaim. —Anon.
"Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, who
rules all creation! O my soul, worship the source of thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, Now to God’s temple
draw near; Join me in glad
adoration!" - Joachim Neander
