John 10:10a (NRSV) The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.

 

John 10:10b (NRSV) ... ... I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

 

Romans 8:1 (NRSV)  There is therefore now no condemnation

for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:16–17 (NRSV)  ... we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs,

heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—..

Romans 8:29 (NRSV) For those whom he foreknew he also predestined

 to be conformed to the image of his Son, ... 

Romans 8:35 (NRSV)  Who will separate us from the love of Christ? ...

Isaiah 43:1 (NRSV)   Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name,

 you are mine.

When the evil one taunts you with his lies

remember that the Word of God

is powerful to defeat those lies.

God calls you by name!

He has forgiven you!

He has redeemed you!

Live out of that glorious truth today

and every day.

Amen.
