Reading : Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, strengthen with all might according to his glorious power . As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord so walk you in him, rooted, brought up and established in the faith as you have been taught.
Deuteronomy 32:4 ” He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.”
Proverbs 12: 17- 19 ” When you tell the truth, justice is done, but lies lead to injustice. Thoughtless words can wound as deeply as any sword, but wisely spoken words can heal. A lie has a short life, but truth lives on forever.”.
Psalms 89: 12-15 “The north and the south, You have created them. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in Your name. You have a mighty arm. Strong is Your hand , and high is Your right hand. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne. Mercy and truth go before Your face. Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance.”
2 Timothy 4: 4- 8 “They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of the evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. For I am already being poured out like a drink offering and the time for my departure is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on the day- and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.”
