Hebrews 1&2; 2 Peter 1; Romans 5

You, Lord Jesus, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. All that will perish, but you remain; they will grow old like a garment; like a cloak, you will fold them up, and they will be changed. But you, Lord, are the same, and your years will not fail.

Therefore, I give earnest heed to all the things that you tell me lest I drift away. You, Lord Jesus, have given to me exceeding great and precious promises that, through your word, I am become a partaker of your divine nature, and I have escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

So, I make every effort to add to my faith, virtue, and knowledge with humility, and perseverance, and godliness, and kindness, and godly love. You demonstrate your love for me, in that while I was lost in sin, you, Lord Jesus, died for me.

I am justified by the atoning sacrifice of your life, and saved from the wrath of our father. I am filled with sure hope, Lord, because you have poured your divine, living love into my heart through your Holy Spirit, who you have given to me.
