Psalm 19 v1:
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Romans 1 v 19 – 22:
Since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it
plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities–his
eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from
what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God,
they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking
became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to
be wise, they became fools.
Psalm 14 v 1 – 6:
The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are
vile; there is no one who does good. The LORD looks down from heaven on the sons
of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned
aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not
even one. Will evildoers never learn- those who devour my people as men eat
bread and who do not call on the LORD? There they are, overwhelmed with dread,
for God is present in the company of the righteous. You evildoers frustrate the
plans of the poor, but the LORD is their refuge.
Psalm 10 v 4:
In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room
for God.
Psalm 53 v 1:
The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and their ways
are vile; there is no one who does good.
Job 12 v 7 – 25:
"But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they
will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of
the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD
has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all
mankind. Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes food? Is not wisdom
found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding? "To God belong
wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his. What he tears down cannot
be rebuilt; the man he imprisons cannot be released. If he holds back the
waters, there is drought; if he lets them loose, they devastate the land. To him
belong strength and victory; both deceived and deceiver are his. He leads
counselors away stripped and makes fools of judges. He takes off the shackles
put on by kings and ties a loincloth around their waist. He leads priests away
stripped and overthrows men long established. He silences the lips of trusted
advisers and takes away the discernment of elders. He pours contempt on nobles
and disarms the mighty. He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings deep
shadows into the light. He makes nations great, and destroys them; he enlarges
nations, and disperses them. He deprives the leaders of the earth of their
reason; he sends them wandering through a trackless waste. They grope in
darkness with no light; he makes them stagger like drunkards.
Job 35 v 14:
How much less, then, will he listen when you say that you do not see him, that
your case is before him and you must wait for him.
2 Corinthians 4 v 7 – 12:
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power
is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed;
perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but
not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that
the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are
always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be
revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at
work in you.
Matthew 11 v 6:
"Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me."
Mark 16 v16:
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe
will be condemned.
John 11 v 25 – 27:
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me
will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never
die. Do you believe this?" "Yes, Lord," she told him, "I believe that you are
the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."
John 11 v 40:
Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the
glory of God?"

Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the
right to become children of God.
Acts 16 v 31:
They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved–you and your
household."

God."

Mark 9 v 24:
Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my
unbelief!"
John 9 v 38:
Then the man said, "Lord, I believe," and he worshiped him.
Luke 7 v 3 – 9:
"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so
that the work of God might be displayed in his life. As long as it is day, we
must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world." Having said this, he spit
on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes.
"Go," he told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means Sent). So the
man went and washed, and came home seeing. His neighbors and those who had
formerly seen him begging asked, "Isn't this the same man who used to sit and
beg?" Some claimed that he was. Others said, "No, he only looks like him." But
he himself insisted, "I am the man."
Matthew 8 v 5 – 10:
When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help.
"Lord," he said, "my servant lies at home paralyzed and in terrible suffering."
Jesus said to him, "I will go and heal him." The centurion replied, "Lord, I do
not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my
servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers
under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he
comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." When Jesus heard this,
he was astonished and said to those following him, "I tell you the truth, I have
not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.
John 4 v 29:
"Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?"
John 4 v 42:
They said to the woman, "We no longer believe just because of what you said; now
we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of
the world."

And many people came to him. They said, "Though John never performed a
miraculous sign, all that John said about this man was true." And in that place
many believed in Jesus.
John 11 v 21 – 22:
"Lord," Martha said to Jesus, "if you had been here, my brother would not have
died. But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask."
John 11 v 25 – 27:
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me
will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never
die. Do you believe this?" "Yes, Lord," she told him, "I believe that you are
the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."
John 16 v 17 – 33:
Some of his disciples said to one another, "What does he mean by saying, 'In a
little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see
me,' and 'Because I am going to the Father'?" They kept asking, "What does he
mean by 'a little while'? We don't understand what he is saying." Jesus saw that
they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, "Are you asking one
another what I meant when I said, 'In a little while you will see me no more,
and then after a little while you will see me'? I tell you the truth, you will
weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will
turn to joy. A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come;
but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a
child is born into the world. So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will
see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. In that
day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will
give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything
in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. "Though I
have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this
kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. In that day you will
ask in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. No,
the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I
came from God. I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving
the world and going back to the Father." Then Jesus' disciples said, "Now you
are speaking clearly and without figures of speech. Now we can see that you know
all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This
makes us believe that you came from God." "You believe at last!" Jesus answered.
"But a time is coming, and has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own
home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world
you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
Acts 8 v 36 - 37:
As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said,
"Look, here is water. Why shouldn't I be baptized?"
Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." The eunuch
answered, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."

So if God gave them the same gift as he gave us, who believed in the Lord Jesus
Christ, who was I to think that I could oppose God?"

gave himself for me.
2 Timothy 1 v 12:
That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I
have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted
to him for that day.
Titus 3 v 3 – 7:
At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds
of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating
one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved
us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He
saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he
poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having
been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal
life.
Mark 4 v 11 – 12:
He told them, "The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to
those on the outside everything is said in parables so that, " 'they may be ever
seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise
they might turn and be forgiven!
Isaiah 40 v 27 – 28:
Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the
LORD; my cause is disregarded by my God"? Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will
not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
Isaiah 50 v 2 – 3:
When I came, why was there no one? When I called, why was there no one to
answer? Was my arm too short to ransom you? Do I lack the strength to rescue
you? By a mere rebuke I dry up the sea, I turn rivers into a desert; their fish
rot for lack of water and die of thirst. I clothe the sky with darkness and make
sackcloth it's covering."
Isaiah 49 v 14 – 15:
But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me." "Can a
mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has
borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!
John 14 v 8 – 11:
Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us." Jesus
answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a
long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us
the Father'? Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is
in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father,
living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the
Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the
miracles themselves.
