Ephesians 1 v 17- 23: (17) I keep asking that the God of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the glorious father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and
revelation, so that you may know him better. (18) I pray also that
the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to
which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,
(19) and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power
is like the working of his mighty strength, (20) which he exerted in
Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the
heavenly realms, (21) far above all rule and authority, power and
dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but
also in the one to come. (22) And God placed all things under his
feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, (23)
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
1 Corinthians 15 v 1- 4: (1) Now brothers, I want to remind you of
the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken
your stand. (2) By this Gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to
the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. (3)
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died
for our sins according to the Scriptures, (4) that he was buried,
that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.

Romans 7 v 20- 21, 23-25: (20) Now if I do what I do not want to
do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
(21) So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right
there with me. (23) But I see another law at work in the members of
my body, waging war against my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin
at work in my members. (24) What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue
me from this body of death? (25) Thanks be to God –through Jesus
Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to Gods law, but in the
sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
Jude v 24- 25: (24) To him who is able to keep you from falling
and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy
–(25) to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and

Amen.

a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.
Romans 4 v 7- 8: (7) Blessed are they whose transgressions are

the Lord will never count against him.
Romans 4 v 18- 25: (18) Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed
and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So
shall your offspring be." (19) Without weakening in his faith, he had
faced the fact that his body was as good as dead –since he about a hundred years
old –and that Sarah's womb was also dead. (20) Yet he did not waver
through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith
and gave glory to God, (21) being fully persuaded that God had the
power to do what he had promised. (22) this is why "it was credited
to him as righteousness." (23) The words "it was credited to him"
were not written for him alone, (24) but also for us, to whom God
will credit righteousness –for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord
from the dead. (25) He was delivered over to death for our sins and
was raised to life for our justification.
Colossians 2 v 13- 15: (13) When you were dead in your sins and in
the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He
forgave us all our sins, (14) having canceled the written code with
its regulations, that was against us and that stood to oppose us; he took it
away, nailing it to the cross. (15) And having disarmed the powers
and the authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by
the cross.

to help those who are being tempted.
Hebrews 7 v 26- 28: (26) Such a high priest meets our need –one
who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.
(27) Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer
sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the
people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.
(28) For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath,
which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.
Hebrews 8 v 12: For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their
sins no more.
Hebrews 9 v 27- 28: (27) Just as man is destined to dies once, and
after that to face judgment, (28) so Christ was sacrificed once to
take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear
sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
Hebrews 10 v 4- 18: (4) Because it is impossible for the blood of
bulls and goats to take away sins. (5) Therefore, when Christ came
into the world, he said: "Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body
you prepared for me; (6)with burnt offerings and sin offerings you
were not pleased. (7) Then I said, 'Here I am –it is written about me
in the scroll –I have come to do your will, O God.'" (8) First he
said, "Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not
desire, nor were you pleased with them" (although the law required them to
be made). (9) Then he said, "Here I am, I have come to do your
will." He set aside the first to establish the second. (10) And by
that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus
Christ once for all. (11) Day after day every priest stands and
performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices
which can never take away the sins. (12) But when this priest had
offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of
God. (13) Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his
footstool, (14) because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever
those who are being made holy. (15) The Holy Spirit also testifies to
us about this. First he says: (16) "This is the covenant I will make
with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds." (17) Then he adds: "Their sins
and lawless acts I will remember no more." (18) And where these have
been forgiven, there is no longer and sacrifice for sin.

forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 2 v 1- 2: (1) My dear children, I write this to you so that
you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father
in our defense –Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. (2) He is the
atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of
the whole world.

firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who

now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace
of God he might taste death for everyone.

of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace.
Acts 22 v 16- 18: (16) 'Now get up and stand on your feet. I have
appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and a witness of what you have seen
of me and what I will show you. (17) I will rescue you from your own
people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them (18) to open
their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to
God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who
are sanctified by faith in me.
